Today’s TV addict Top 5: Biggest Non-Stories of the Week!
This just in: A very slow news day for Michael Ausiello! Who recently concluded in a BONES EXCLUSIVE that Booth and Brennan will finally put an end to the will-they-or-won’t-they speculation following an interview with executive producer Stephen Nathan who promised that the upcoming fifth season finale will be as big as last season’s finale, “but in a very different way.” Not ambiguous at all. Really.
Yesterday TVGuide.com asked whether the addition of Donald Faison to the new CBS pilot THE ODDS spells doom for SCRUBS? Today, theTVaddict.com has an answer for them. Ummm… No! Particularly since Donald Faison’s CBS deal has him in ‘second position’ contingent on whether or not ABC picks up SCRUBS for a tenth season. That, and if anything spells doom for SCRUBS, it was last season’s disappointing ratings and somewhat less than creative direction. We’re just sayin’

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Shows Even We, Addicted As We Are To TV, Won’t Be Watching
The CW’s Latest Reality Offerings
We’ll consider this a two-for one, because the similarly titled FLY GIRLS (featuring the no-doubt sexy exploits of flight attendants on Virgin airlines — get it?) and HIGH SOCIETY (following the hob-nobbing heiress Tinsley Mortimer and her pals) are examples of a “reality” trend we’d just as soon see die.
Curling on the Winter Olympics
Curling? Seriously? Please, if we wanted to watch people madly running around with brooms clearing a path for a forward-moving object, we’d ask our moms to always walk five feet in front of us.
DAY ONE
What started as one of the most intriguing premises of the season — with a killer trailer to boot — has seen any and all enthusiasm we might have had for it deadened by the network’s decision to cut it from a 13-episode season to a four-hour mini-series and now, as of January, a two-hour movie. Although NBC insists on calling the two-hour episode a “pilot”, the odds of it getting picked up are right up there with those of HEROES ever regaining the storytelling brilliance it had back in its first season.
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things You Didn’t Know About PRIVATE PRACTICE Star Tim Daly
He still believes in Addison and Pete.
“This is the deal: Every great TV romance in success plays out over a really long period of time,” said Tim Daly when asked by the TV Addict on a recent one-on-one if there is any hope at all for the coupling that was so clearly telegraphed at the start of the series. “If Pete and Addison had been in some kind of relationship in the first or even the second season, it may have foreshortened something so delicious to let unfold as the series continues. I still think there is room for that spark between Pete and Addison to combust, but how and when that comes to be is a subject for debate.”
Enjoys the lighter moments of PRIVATE PRACTICE.
In spite of the show finding its footing placing babies in peril week-in-and-week-out, Daly, who got his start with 172 episodes of the hit NBC sitcom WINGS enjoys the lighthearted moments at Oceanside Wellness the best. “I really enjoy when we get a chance to do something funny, particularly the funny camaraderie between the guys,” explained Daly. “Obviously we’ve got a lot of sick babies on this show, I mean my God we’re doing our best to reduce the population on the planet by scaring woman all over the world from having babies! That said, I do try to find humour whenever I can.”

A LOST Spin-off We’d Like to See!
With pilot season kicking into high gear perfectly coinciding with LOST coming to an end, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the show, well, aside from the whole ‘deal’ with the island and all, involves the question as to what’s next for the ridiculously talented ABC ensemble. After-all, just because Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly >pre-emptively put the kibosh on the obvious JACK AND KATE PLUS EIGHT spin-off that fans (okay, we) were so desperately clamouring for, doesn’t mean there still isn’t hope for the rest of the cast.
Which is why, before the ink dries on Daniel Dae Kim’s contract to headline the upcoming HAWAII FIVE-0 reboot by CBS, theTVaddict.com wanted to take the opportunity to pitch an alternative, inspired by our favorite Toronto TV critic Bill Harris.
