Wondering what’s in store for Clark and Co. as SMALLVILLE heads into its eighth [and possibly final] season this Fall? You know, aside from the seriously darker tone that this TV Addict can’t help but think is at least partially inspired by the success of THE DARK KNIGHT. Simply click on the link below. But beware, serious spoilers ahead.

There’s a reason Entertainment Weekly is this TV Addict’s bible and its cover stories like this. In a no-holds-bars interview, original 90210 cast members Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty dish about their rocky past, unlikely reunion, and why the new show shocks even them. Click the link below for an excerpt or here for the entire interview and photo shoot.

Since this TV Addict won’t be publishing his very own exclusive one-on-one with Wentworth Miller until Monday, I thought I’d parse some interesting tidbits I gleaned while taking part on a recent conference call that Wentworth Miller was kind enough to take part in to help promote the upcoming two-hour season premiere on September 1, 2008.
1. Was Michael’s reunion with Sara everything you hoped it would be?
Wentworth Miller: Absolutely. I was just happy to see Sara back. I really felt her absence Season Three. I felt that her return was important not only to my character, but also to the show in general. What can I say; the fans have spoken. Sara returns.
2. At what point did you realize that Sarah Wayne Callies might be coming back?
I think it was at some point during the strike that I started hearing rumors that Sarah was returning, that the fans were organizing write-ins and petitions and I think that’s emblematic of where we are in terms of television and the media. It’s very much a back and forth conversation between the fans and the writers, between the writers and the powers that be. Their opinions, especially when expressed online or via correspondence, are important and are taken into consideration.
3. Obviously reattaching someone’s head is a bit of a tall order. What can you tell us about how this comes off in the first couple of episodes?
I think that we address it as plausibly as possible. It helps that the show is kind of fantastic and I feel like we’ve gotten away with worse. But at the same time, we do provide an explanation and we don’t tease the audience. It’s not a flash of Sara’s ponytail disappearing down an ally for the first episodes, everyone wondering when she’ll actually make a face-to-face with Michael. She’s back first episode. Michael and Sara reunited, and then the gang hits the ground running because there’s work to do.

Good News for fans of the now defunct WB Network. The WB is officially back in business with today’s public launch of theWB.com. Bad news, you’ve got to be located in the United States to access the site, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
More importantly, theWB.com features full length episodes of some of this TV Addict’s all-times favorite shows. Including EVERWOOD, FIREFLY, FRIENDS, THE OC, SMALLVILLE, ONE TREE HILL, VERONICA MARS and GILMORE GIRLS. Not to mention ANGEL, BABYLON 5, ROSWELL and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, which fall under the category of shows this TV Addict hopes to one day find the time to watch.
Also available online will be original programming courtesy of two of the hottest names in television production. Premiering September 8th is McG’s [THE OC] SORORITY FOREVER, which is described as a mashup of the hit internet series PROM QUEEN and THE OC. While Josh Schwartz is working diligently [no doubt in the four minutes of daily free time between producing CHUCK and GOSSIP GIRL] on the UNTITLED JOSH SCHWARTZ MUSIC PROJECT, with Special Guest Star Misha Barton! Okay, so we totally made that last part about Misha Barton up. But in our defense, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for the girl to show up an internet site that isn’t called perezhilton.com.

Not that this will come as a surprise to anyone remotely familiar with theTVaddict.com, but this TV Addict’s favorite magazine is Entertainment Weekly. And with the Fall TV Season just around the corner [and yes, I realize I sound like a broken record], it’s time once again to play a little game I like to call ‘Guess the Cover’ of my favorite issue — EW’s Fall TV Preview.
Now as you may recall from last year, theTVaddict.com’s non-existent crack research staff has done a little digging and come to the conclusion that EW’s Fall TV Preview cover traditionally falls into one of two categories. It either highlights one of the fall’s most buzzed about new show or rewards the previous season’s ‘it’ show.

As we inch closer and closer to the start of the fall television season, theTVaddict.com will be periodically going out on a limb to make a few bold predictions.
Bold Fall TV Prediction #1: Continuing the tradition of combining incredibly talented stars of the sporting world with incredibly unfunny comedy sketches, [see: the highly unfunny LeBron James], SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE will make the unfortunate decision headlines yet again by snagging Olympic Gold Medal record-breaker Michael Phelps to hosts its 34th season premiere.

The TV Addict (right) with EW’s Michael Ausiello
As evidence by this post’s unapologetically cheesy title, theTVaddict.com is putting aside all pretense of professionalism and journalistic integrity for a moment to simply say this. Monday night’s party celebrating the series premiere of FRINGE on FOX was pretty much this TV Addict’s ultimate TV fantasy come true.
On an uber-trendy non-descript loft overlooking the Hudson river, not only did this incredibly lucky TV Addict get the opportunity to meet two people in the world of television journalism whom I hold in the highest regard — Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello [pictured above] and Television Without Pity’s Dan Manu, I got to mix and mingle with a few other faces you may be just slightly familiar with.
