[Spoiler Alert!] SAM AND DEAN MEET ANNA, A GIRL WHO CAN HEAR THE ANGELS — Ruby (guest star Genevieve Cortese) tells Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) that a powerful demon named Alastair (guest star Mark Rolston) is searching for a girl named Anna (guest star Julie McNiven) who can hear the angels’ conversations. The three set out to find Anna but once they do, Alastair attacks them and Ruby escapes with the girl. Believing they were set up, Dean lashes out at Sam for trusting Ruby, so Sam tells him what happened during those months Dean was in Hell and how Ruby saved his life. Castiel (guest star Misha Collins) and Uriel (guest star Robert Wisdom) return and demand to be taken to Anna but not for the reason Dean thinks.

The TV Addict Reveals His Halloween Scares III
With Halloween mere days away, this TV Addict thought now would be the perfect opportunity to talk about what scares us in the world of television. So without further ado, we present our Halloween Scare #3: A Matthew Weiner Free MAD MEN.
With Matthew Weiner’s CAA representatives and Lionsgate, the studio behind AMC’s MAD MEN at a negotiation standstill (over suprise, surprise, money!), Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that there is now a genuine possibility that the Emmy-Awarding winning series could part ways with its visionary creator as the critically acclaimed drama heads into its third season. Which following Sunday’s brilliant season finale, would drive this TV Addict well, more than a little mad.

Tuesday’s: NBC President Ben Silverman

Random Musings: ELI STONE, 90210 & HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3
The Good: From Weathersby Posner & Klein’s original and inspiring mission statement to “serve the public good and honor the public trust” that was scribbled on a napkin thirty years prior (Bartlett for America anyone?), to the master class in acting put forth by Victor “Where’s My Emmy?” Garber, “good” doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings when it comes to last night’s installment of ELI STONE. Especially now that we know that Eli’s future includes making it all the way to the Supreme Court alongside friend and mentor Jordan Weathersby. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, this TV Addict’s jaw is still partially on the floor following last night’s shocking final scene involving Maggie Decker siding with the evil that is Posner & Klein.)
The Bad: 90210. Whose committee of showrunners don’t seem to “get” that fans are not in the business of caring about couples they’ve manufactured out of thin air. Ethan and Annie’s will-they-or-won’t-they relationship is absolutely pointless when the two characters have been given zero redeeming qualities for fans to latch on to and root for. And don’t even get me started on Navid and Adrianna — I mean have those two even shared a scene together prior to last night’s episode? Memo to Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah. Your viewers are not morons and if you expect us to remain invested in this show outside of the occasional Brenda/Kelly cameo you probably should go back to the drawing board and remember that the likes of Brenda & Dylan, Ross & Rachel and Pam & Jim don’t just happen. It takes seasons of build up and hard work. So get to it.
Good News, Bad News: Lauren Graham, MELROSE PLACE & Greg Grunberg
Good News: GILMORE GIRL Lauren Graham is set to make her Broadway debut alongside Oliver Platt in the highly anticipated revival of GUYS & DOLLS. Bad News: This TV Addict is still paying of his Visa and AMEX bills from his last trip to New York. [Source]
Good News: The CW is officially developing MELROSE PLACE Version 2.0 for Fall 2009. Bad News: 90210 Version 2.0 isn’t exactly must see TV. Although for some inexplicable reason, we’re still watching. [Source]
Good News: The TV Addict just became friends with HEROES stars Greg Grunberg and Brea Grant. Bad News: And by ‘friends,’ I of course am referring to friends on Twitter, not friends in real life. Even though I know Greg Grunberg and I would so be “BFF” if given the chance! [Follow theTVaddict on Twitter]
The TV Addict Reveals His Halloween Scares II
With Halloween mere days away, this TV Addict thought now would be the perfect opportunity to talk about what scares us in the world of television. So without further ado, we present our Halloween Scare #2: NBC President Ben Silverman.
Not only did the Peacock President further contribute to the dumbing down of America by renewing KNIGHT RIDER for an entire season, he green-lit the snoozefest that is CRUSOE and further hurt America’s standing around the world with the dreadful adaptation of Australia’s hit comedy KATH & KIM.
Yesterday’s Halloween Scare: Amy Poehler.

Take the Follicle Follies Challenge!
In last week’s review of THE MENTALIST, this TV Addict noted that the strength of the show lies solely in the hands of charismatic TV vet Simon Baker.
And while many readers agreed with my overall assessment of the freshman series, a handful of them took umbrage with my assertion that Simon Baker’s just so happens to sport, “the finest head of hair since McDreamy scrubbed into Seattle Grace.”Which brings us to today’s Follicle Follies Challenge. Beneath every great head of hair lies an actor hoping to outshine it. Can you match the wavy locks to their owner?

GOSSIP GIRL Recap: Pret-a-Port-J
8:00PM: You know this episode is going to be good when Dorata (Blair’s maid) gets the first laugh by offering up this bit of sound advice to one Blair Waldorf, “Don’t forget. God always watching Miss Blair.”
8:04PM: Meet Agnes. Hot Model/Bad influence for Jenny played by THE OC’s delightful Willa Holland. Awkward how even Mini-Cooper has become more successful and less of a Young Hollywood Cliche than Misha Barton.
8:08PM: Am I the only one who finds Eleanor Waldorf’s use of child labour [see: Jenny] a little off-putting? Quick, someone get Kathie Gifford on the phone!
8:14PM: OMG! Serena meets a new overly pretentious artist named Aaron. Signs he’s an overly pretentious artist by the way include shaggy hair, glasses and stubble. Fifty bucks he takes off those glasses by the end of the episode.
8:15PM: Someone’s going to have to explain to me why exactly Blair is taking dating advice from Dan “I’m the guy who broke up with Serena” Humphrey. Rule #1 of High School Dating. You never break up with your school’s Queen B, sorry, Queen S.
