HART OF DIXIE First Look: Justin Hartley Checks In
Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to inject any more heart hart into dixie comes your first look at our favorite CW’s show’s April 16th episode that features the return of a very familiar face. Or to be more specific, the former man in the green arrow mask, Justin Hartley, who drops by the enchanting town of Bluebell to sweep Zoe off her feet. Assuming of course she can take her mind off George and Lemon’s respective bachelor and bachelorette parties — which judging from the episode’s title (“Bachelorettes & Bullets”) — don’t exactly go as planned. But hey, don’t take our word for it, see for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Final-Episode Shout-Outs To ONE TREE HILL’s Past
I have absolutely no shame in admitting that last night’s ONE TREE HILL finale reduced me to tears at several points. For fans of the show, the episode did what the show had always done best (and what often brought scorn and ridicule from folks who didn’t get the appeal): It embraced its own predictability and cheesiness and while wrapping viewers in the warm and comforting embrace of a world where dreams come true and good almost always triumphs over evil. Like almost no other, HILL was a show which not only remembered its past, but knew that fans did as well and regularly rewarded them with references to events — big and small — to characters, moments and jokes from previous seasons. Here are our five favorites from last night’s finale. [Read more…]

SURVIVOR! ONE TREE HILL! MISSING! GENERAL HOSPITAL! SUPERNATURAL! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Best Funeral: Sorry, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, but when it came to remembering a lost (fictional) loved one, the grieving of Robin Scorpio-Drake’s GENERAL HOSPITAL loved ones was far more moving than the service for Mike Delfino.
Best Funeral, Runner Up: Nope, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES didn’t come in second either, thanks to ONE TREE HILL baddie Dan Scott finally meeting his maker… and, in the afterlife, the brother he killed several seasons ago.
Most Fun Marathon: Logo will host a “24 Hour Salute To Great American Cinema” by running Showgirls on a 24-hour loop… on April Fool’s Day.
Coolest Show: Too bad Discovery didn’t save the incredible seven-part series FROZEN PLANET for summer. It’s icy locals might have helped cool us down during the hotter months! [Read more…]
Television Composer Kim Planert Talks the Magic of Composing Music for MISSING
As fans of CASTLE can attest, the intro music sets the tone of the show; it is a jaunty, friendly mix that welcomes viewers to each episode. It’s a fabulous piece composed by Kim Planert’s writing partner Robert Duncan, for which Rob received an Emmy nomination for Best Original Dramatic Score. Similarly, for the new show MISSING, for which Kim and Robert co-compose, the music back-dropping each episode unconsciously informs the audience whether a scene is more sinister, dramatic or light-hearted. Music is frequently the one thing the audience overlooks as they sit back and watch their favorite TV shows; but without it, each show would have a harder time luring viewers into the mood it seeks to create – whether it is to heighten the suspense, draw out a long-awaited romantic moment, or startle the viewer into jumping at the right moment as a big surprise is revealed. Composing music for television is an art form and fortunately in recent years it has gained more recognition and popularity as fans have begun to appreciate how pivotal and influential music is to the shows they love.
In an exclusive interview, composer Kim Planert shared how he got into composing for television and the types of sound that influence him as he brings a scene to life through the magic of music. [Read more…]
