Where you might know him from: Before enrolling in Greendale COMMUNITY College, actor Danny Pudi got his big break at… would you believe Yale? Well, sort of. Being cast on GILMORE GIRLS as one of Paris’ hard-working peons at the campus newspaper not only prepared him perfectly for his current gig as pop-culture-holic Abed (“I had to speak really quickly on a very fast-paced show!”), but served as a great welcome to television. “Coming onto the show with four other Yale Daily News staffers, I didn’t know what to expect, but Liza Weil [Paris] was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met in my life… so genuine and nothing like her character!”

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions for Shonda Rhimes
Hey, we love Sarah Drew as much as the next EVERWOOD Addict, but after casting her in PRIVATE PRACTICE, INSIDE THE BOX (which for those not in the know was Rhimes ABC pilot that wasn’t picked up this season) and now GREY’S ANATOMY, we can’t help but wonder, where your infatuation stems from?
Do you think it was fair to loyal fans of GREY’S ANATOMY that you dropped a fairly large bombshell about Bailey’s personal life during last week’s crossover episode of PRIVATE PRACTICE?! With a difference of around four million viewers, that’s a whole lot of GREY’S ANATOMY fans who just missed out on the fact that Bailey’s husband Tucker was ’emotionally’ cheating on her.

An Open Letter to Joss Whedon
With Michael Ausiello breaking the somewhat expected news that FOX is benching DOLLHOUSE for November Sweeps and in the process, virtually guaranteeing your availability to direct that episode of GLEE, I couldn’t help but wonder….
Is it not time to take a page from Felicia Day and her GUILD by cutting the network out of the equation?
Morning Static: GLEE, THE BIG BANG THEORY, LOST & More!
• Not wanting to be LOST in translation, Harold Perrineau sets the record straight.
• Katee Sackhoff + THE BIG BANG THEORY = Nerdgasm!
• Ring in the New Year with Jane Lynch: GLEE SEASON 1: ROAD TO SECTIONALS to be released December 29
• In defence of SMALLVILLE’s Sam Jones, the kryptonite made him do it.
• The CW contracts VD… and likes it!
Barney + Lily = HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER WTF?
Is Marshall and Lily’s marriage on the rocks? Barney certainly thinks so on the upcoming November 2 episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER when HE fantasizes being Lily’s husband. More photos of which can be found after the jump.
Get Your Gleek On
With t-minus two hours to go until a brand new episode of GLEE, we at theTVaddict.com thought now would be as good a time as any to spread a little well, glee.
• Not to knock this week’s Entertainment Weekly cover story on the FOX phenomenon, but we sure as heck wouldn’t have dared risk the wrath of Sue Sylvester by leaving her off the cover. We’re just sayin’
• Adam Lambert and Madonna come out… as GLEEKS!
• The LA Times ranks GLEE’s Top 10 performances. Loses points for including New Direction’s arch rival Vocal Adrenaline on the list. Seriously LA Times, whose side are you on?
• All your tweets belong to Gleeks!
• The NY Post asks: Is there such a thing as too much GLEE?

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: CT’s Reasons Why MY ANTONIO May Be the So-Bad-It’s-Good Show of the Decade
The premise itself:
Let’s face it: Who really wants to live in a world where someone who looks like Antonio Sabato Jr. has to go on a dating show to find love?
Tully:
In perhaps the fakest reality show move of all time, Antonio Sabato Jr.’s ex-wife, Tully, shows up “unexpectedly” to throw her hat in the ring for another shot of love with the hunk she wed (for six months) when they were teens. Better yet, at one point she tracks her ex to the middle of the ocean in order to crash one of his dates.
Tony Says:
One competition for the meathead’s attention involved the girls playing a game of “Tony Says.” For those unable to fathom the complicated concept, one of the bimbettes explained that it was “a Simon Says knock-off.” We almost felt sorry for Antonio as he mugged his way through the ridiculous “challenge”… until we realized just how hard the girls were finding it. Then we just felt sorry for… well, ourselves for watching.
