First Look: The Cast of GLEE Gets Simpsonized!
When THE SIMPSONS return for their twenty-second season on September 26, they’ll be doing so with a little help from their friends. In a move that is surely “corporate synergy” to Rupert Murdoch’s ears, GLEE stars Lea Michele (pictured above), Amber Riley and Cory Monteith will voice just a few of the musically inclined campers that encourage Lisa to embrace her creative side when Marge surprises her with a week-long retreat at a performing arts camp while Bart and Homer are off accompanying Krusty to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. More first look photos of “Elementary School Musical” — including a look at the artsy camp counsellors voiced by FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie — can be found after the jump.

You Be the Critic: Did DEGRASSI’s “Boiling Point” Live up to the Hype?
After a summer of valuable after-school lessons that shone a much-needed spotlight on the perils of pig ownership, white boys rapping, and online gaming (among other things!) last night’s episode of DEGRASSI finally delivered what fans have been waiting for. Or did it?

Emmy Predictions 2010: Outstanding Drama Series
In anticipation of the upcoming 62nd Annual EMMY Awards (Airing Sunday August 29th at 8PM on NBC) theTVaddict.com is proud [or not-so-proud depending on how things turn out] to once again present our GUARANTEED EMMY WINNERS 2010*
NOMINEES:BREAKING BAD, DEXTER, THE GOOD WIFE, LOST, MAD MEN, TRUE BLOOD
SHOULD WIN: LOST
Despite a controversial ending that still has the internet atwitter, one thing everyone (including those pesky Voters) should recognize is that LOSTerminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse stuck to their guns. Which in this crowded television landscape of rampant reboots, re-imaginations and ripped-from-the-headlines shows we currently find ourselves in, is both admirable and award-worthy.

First Look: The Cast of GLEE Version 2.0
If a picture really is worth a thousand words, than these just release promotional photos highlighting the cast of GLEE circa season two tell quite the story. Namely, expect Kurt’s father (Emmy nominated guest star Mike O’Malley) to maintain a fairly visible presence in the lives of our favorite Gleeks, much to Mr. Schuester’s chagrin the Terri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig) isn’t going anywhere, and Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.) has a far better agent than Matt Rutherford (Dijon Talton) who remains M.I.A. But don’t take our word for it, see for yourself after the jump.
