“It’s my pre-packed disaster evacuation bag. It’s recommended by the department of Homeland Security and Sarah Connor.” — Explains Sheldon to Leonard about how he was able to pack so quickly on THE BIG BANG THEORY.

Good News: According to TLC, Jon and Kate Gosselin will no longer be speaking to the media in an effort to focus soley on the needs of their family. Bad News: Rest assured, that’s not about to stop People, Us Weekly, InTouch, Star and OK! magazine from covering the family thanks to the now ubiquitous “sources close to Jon & Kate…” [Source]
Good News: BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT phenom Susan Boyle has reportedly been offered a cameo on the new season of UGLY BETTY. Bad News: Three words: Jump. The. Shark. [Source] According to ABC, rumors of Susan Boyle appearing on UGLY BETTY have been greatly exaggerated. And by that we mean, false!

Are you ready for Steve Sanders: The Next Generation? This TV Addict certainly hopes so. Because Michael Ausiello is reporting today that DAYS OF OUR LIVES vet Trevor Donovan is the latest student to enroll at West Beverly High as Teddy, the school’s very own version of JFK Jr. A casting move that would be all well and good, except for the fact that Donovan is 31 (at least, according to Wikipedia), and this isn’t West Beverly High, circa 1995.
The TV Addict has a secret.
I’ve been cheating on Homer Simpson with Kevin Pollak.
What’s worse is we met online, it’s happened more than once and oh yeah… did I mention I can’t stop?
Our relationship started a few Sundays back when word got out (via twitter, naturally) that an old friend, Matthew Perry was dropping by Kevin Pollak’s new chat show.
Now I know what you’re thinking, Kevin Pollak has a chat show?
As it would turn out, he does.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
WEEDS (10PM Showtime)
Dark comedy done right. HUNG take note.
NURSE JACKIE (10:30PM Showtime)
Jobs we would not want to have include being the teacher, school nurse and/or district psychologist who have to let Jackie know that her daughter Grace needs to go on anti-anxiety medication.
NEW & NOTABLE:
AMERICAN IDOL: THE JACKSON TRIBUTE (8PM FOX)
As much as our first reaction to FOX continuing to mine, not to mention profit from the Michael Jackson tragedy by re-broadcasting this season’s AMERICAN IDOL Michael Jackson Songbook is one of disgust. It’s pretty hard to blame the network when Janet is already making a ’surprise’ appearance at last night’s BET awards while father Joe Jackson hit the BET red carpet to promote his record label.

Mark Sanford requests month of silence to honor Michael Jackson” — Who needs SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE when Seth Meyers continues to entertain via twitter all hiatus long!
Yesterday, fellow TV Blogger Memles posed the following question via twitter, “Is watching HUNG with my parents just asking for total awkwardness?” Well, as it would turn out, HUNG, at least by cable standards was fairly restrained in its use of gratuitous sex and nudity and thus, gets this TV Addict’s seal of approval on the off chance you were thinking of sitting down and watching it with the parental units. That said, here are five shows we highly recommend that you don’t watch with your parents.
1. TRUE BLOOD
2. THE TUDORS
3. SEX AND THE CITY
4. QUEER AS FOLK
5. ROME
While HUNG wasn’t exactly the laugh-out-loud comedy one might have expected from a show revolving around Thomas Jane and his biggest err… asset, this TV Addict is glad that we well, we hung in there. After-all, now that the pilot out of the way — which let’s face it, was essentially a pro-longed set-up for what happens next — we find ourselves curiously intrigued as to whether or not Thomas Jane’s Ray will be able to keep things strictly professional with his new business partner, poet/pimp Tanya (the amazing Jane Adams who FRASIER fans will remember as Dr. Mel Karnofsky). And with apologies in advance for yet another tawdry pun, we guess you could say, HUNG has a lot of room to grow. Thoughts?
