Because as it would turn out, TiVoing Passover wasn’t a viable option and my family didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with my belief that NBC’s “Must See TV” was important enough to skip the second Seder, this TV Addict is once again passing the buck to you — my far smarter and better looking readers — to post away with your thoughts on last night’s installments of THE OFFICE (x2), PARKS AND RECREATION, SOUTHLAND and HARPER’s ISLAND.
With the notable exception of last night’s hilarious one-two THE OFFICE/30 ROCK combo, an overhyped ER that reminded me why I stopped watching the show years ago and the absolutely must-see-it-to-believe-it smack-down that Jon Stewart gave Jim Cramer (How sad is it that the fake news does such a better job or covering the actual news than the real news? Click here for the video), this TV Addict is embarrassed to report that I’ve once again sullied my self-proclaimed title of ultimate TV Addict by missing out on all of our favorite Thursday night shows. Which is why, I’m once again passing the buck to you all — my far smarter and better looking readers — to post away with your thoughts on last night’s installments of UGLY BETTY, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SUPERNATURAL, GREY’S ANATOMY & PRIVATE PRACTICE.
Okay, so ‘love’ might be a tiny bit of an overstatement. But can you blame me? We’re talking Hollywood’s most glamorous night, is not overstatement what it’s all about?
With apologies in advanced to notorious Hugh Jackman-hater Dr. Cox (of SCRUBS fame), from his over-the-top opening number complete with craigslist dancers, a radiant Anne Hathaway and the hilarious confession that he has yet to, but is meaning to see The Reader (same here!), Hugh Jackman brought an energy and enthusiasm to the Kodak Theater that hasn’t been scene since the early days of Billy Crystal.
Adding to the magic were those always unexpected moments that have already become a part of Oscar lore, including: Philippe Petit, the subject of last night’s Oscar winning documentary Man on Wire flawlessly balancing the little gold statue on his chin following his film’s acceptance speech. The whistle heard round the world courtesy of Kate Winslet’s father as she scanned the audience in search of him during her own Best Actress acceptance speech. The manner in which the Ledger family accepted Heath’s much-deserved Best Supporting Actor award with grace and dignity. And the always welcome moments of levity from the likes of Seth Rogan, James Franco, Janusz Kaminski, Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller channeling Joaquin Phoenix alongside an absolutely stunning Natalie Portman.
Since this TV Addict was otherwise occupied yesterday visiting the set of NBC’s exciting new series KINGS. Where, by the way, I can assure you, star Ian McShane did not pull a “Christian Bale” and in fact could not have been nicer! I thought I’d leave up to you — my far smarter and better looking readers — to post away with your thoughts on last night’s installments of UGLY BETTY, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL, GREY’S ANATOMY and PRIVATE PRACTICE. What should I watch first?
Since this TV Addict has yet to catch up with all of last night’s television, I thought I’d open up the floor to you, my far smarter and better looking reading by posing the following questions three. (1) Did last night’s jaw-dropping reveals on LOST live up to the hype (also known as serious blogger-overhyped-eritis)? (2) Was LIE TO ME’s second episode as much fun as its first? (3) And most importantly, did anyone remember to tune into the return of LIFE ON MARS? And if so how was it?
Since your very own TV Addict was otherwise occupied stalking Kiefer Sutherland at last night’s party celebrating the season premiere of 24 (Stay tuned for obligatory and let’s face it, over-the-top shameless pics of the TV Addict with some of your favorite stars!) This TV Addict is passing the buck to you, my far smarter and better looking readers to fill us all in on how good, bad and/or ugly the return of SCRUBS, NIP/TUCK, PRIVILEGED, 90210 and NCIS* were.
And yes, you are indeed reading that correctly. For the first time in the history of theTVaddict.com, NCIS is getting a mention. Because according to readers like Gabi who were kind enough to take the time to chime in when asked, “NCIS is the best! And for the record, I’m in my late twenties and it drives me nuts when people suggest that NCIS is watched only by people who are fifty plus!”
With the notable exception of Jennifer Aniston’s hilarious turn as Crazy Rachel Claire on 30 ROCK, this TV Addict is sad to report that I’ve once again sullied my self-proclaimed title of ultimate TV Addict by missing out on all of our favorite Thursday night shows. Which is why, I’m once again passing the buck to you all — my far smarter and better looking readers — to post away with your thoughts on last night’s installments of UGLY BETTY, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SUPERNATURAL, GREY’S ANATOMY & LIFE ON MARS.
If your childhood was anything like mine, an inordinate (read: potentially unhealthy) number of Saturday afternoons were spent sprawled in front of the television (Lego in hand) as you reveled in the fun and adventure that was HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS.
Which is why, it should come as no surprise that when I heard about Sam Raimi’s (SPIDER-MAN) attempt to revitalize the once popular mid-90’s heroic genre (complete with faux British accents) with LEGEND OF THE SEEKER(Click for official site), this TV Addict was to say the least, mildly intrigued.
Since this TV Addict was far to busy going all Michelangelo on this pumpkin last night. I’m passing the buck to you, my far smarter and better looking readers to post your take on last night’s installments of UGLY BETTY, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, GREY’S ANATOMY and LIFE ON MARS.
Got a [spoiler free!] take on last night’s installments of UGLY BETTY, THE OFFICE, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, GREY’S ANATOMY and LIFE ON MARS? Post away so this TV Addict knows how to go about filling up his weekend.
