THE GOOD WIFE! BIG LOVE! HIMYM! GLEE! Our TV Addict Week in Rewind
Biggest Headscratcher: Between COMMUNITY’s love affair with COUGAR TOWN, THE OFFICE’s shout-out to DALLAS, PARKS AND RECREATIONS’ nod to NCIS: LOS ANGELES and 30 ROCK’s myriad of pop culture zingers touching on RIZZOLI & ISLES, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, AMAZING RACE, ROSWELL and ENTOURAGE, one can’t help but wonder how the fledgling fourth place Peacock Network might be doing ratings-wise if their own shows paid half as much attention to NBC’s roster as they do others!
Loudest Fan Outcry: Viewers of GENERAL HOSPITAL were so upset about the soap turning four-year-old Jake into road kill that their response garnered attention from such media outlets as The New York Post.
And the Award For Best Ending We Didn’t See Coming But Probably Should Have Goes to…: BIG LOVE, which just about made up for two seasons of disappointment with a finale that gave us the BIG ending we were hoping for. God only knows what we’ll be without you indeed.
Faux Campaign We Can Really Get Behind: All we can say to Ellen DeGeneres’ plea that networks stop airing two-hour episodes of reality shows is… Amen!
Best For Your Consideration Emmy Reel: Following Monday’s fantastic father-son reunion between Barney and his bio-dad on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, is anyone else up for forgoing all of that silly campaigning by just awarding Neil Patrick Harris and John Lithgow their Emmys now?

FRINGE Renewed For a Fourth Season
Score one for our universe! Fox has officially confirmed executive producer J.H. Wyman’s tweet from earlier in the night that had him “letting it slip” that FRINGE has been renewed for a fourth season. “Fringe was picked up!!!! Thanks Fringedom!”
What’s more FRINGE hasn’t just been picked up for a fourth season, it has been picked up for a full 22 episode fourth season. Which means, it’s a good great day to be a fan of quality scripted television. Unless of course you were a fan of LIGHTS OUT. What… too soon?
