When Owen recruits his fellow Iraqi War vet Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) to sign on as Seattle Grace’s newest Defense Against the Dark Arts equivalent cardiothoracic surgeon, Cristina questions the nature of their past relationship. Meanwhile this TV Addict — after taking a gander of these first look photos — can’t help but question if Christina and Owen fans really should be as worried as Lexie and Mark fans. But hey, don’t take our word for it, judge for yourself after the jump. 
Apparently we’re not the only ones who are obsessed with THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Turns out, when she’s not busy acting, singing and promoting her hit show GLEE, star Lea Michele is hooked. “Getting ready to pick Mr Groff up from the airport! Let the week of fun begin!!! But first Vampire Diaries. Why is this show SO good!” Now all that’s left is for @msleamichele to publicly proclaim her loyalty: Team Damon or Team Stefan?
Did actress Leven Rambin (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) just spill the beans on yet another GREY’S ANATOMY/PRIVATE PRACTICE crossover? Maybe, maybe not, but one thing’s for sure: According to this tweet, the actress, who is on the set of GREY’S ANATOMY as we tweet speak is poised to be hitting up both shows in the not-to-distant-future, “The Lord answered all your prayers! Thank you all so much! I’m going to be on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice this season, y’all!” Hmmmm, perhaps @shondarhimes would care to shed a little light on this?
Deny it all you want, but as our neighbourhood Lowes made it abundantly clear by deciding that October was the appropriate time to deck itself out in holiday cheer (jumping the gun much?) — ’tis the season.

Since HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a repeat tonight, this TV Addict thought now might be a good time as any to fill you in on what hilarity you have to look forward to next week. On November 9th, Barney and Robin’s relationship hit a rough patch. Enter a meddling Lily, who for reasons we’re not entirely sure, devises a plan to break them up. One that involves special guest star Alan Thicke. More photos of which can be found after the jump.

DOLLHOUSE
What is with those Whedon’s and their ability to always leave us wanting more. Fresh of the heels of this week’s DOLLHOUSE debacle that has FOX benching the ratings anemic series for November sweeps, comes a harrowing Sierra-centric episode that recounts the terrifying circumstances in which the Aussie beauty found her way to the Rossum Corporation. Both gripping and gut-wrenching, the episode was not only right up their as one of the series’ bests, but showed the few who bothered to watch, just how much potential this show has if given the chance.
MODERN FAMILY
Erik Estrada eat your heart out. For what FAMILY’s two “E’s” (Ed O’Neil and Eric Stonestreet) lack in the matinee idol looks department, they more than make up for by delivering the laughs. Yes, five episodes into the freshman series, O’Neill and Stonestreet, alongside the rest of the ridiculously talented cast, continue to raise the bar when it comes to L.P.M. (Laughs per minute). So much so that we’ll forgive showrunners Lloyd and Levitan (Christopher and Steven respectively) for leaving out the obvious ‘Four touchdowns in a single game’ shout-out many MARRIED WITH CHILDREN fans (okay, this TV Addict) was waiting for.
This week, Daniel (the TV Addict) and co-host Ariel return after a one week hiatus, offering up their slightly off-kilter take on both subjects TV and non-TV related. As per usual, please don’t hesitate, and by ‘don’t hesitate,’ we of course mean… let us know what you think by leaving us a comment, reviewing us on iTunes and/or sending us an email at info@thetvaddict.com or ariel@thetvaddict.com.
