While it probably won’t come as much of a surprise that Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) survived the unexpected bullet-to-the-chest in May’s jaw-dropper of a season finale, what certainly might is the sheer amount of photos that ABC has just released in an effort to promote CASTLE’s September 19th season premiere. No really. Complete with your first look at the precinct’s new uncompromising Captain Victoria “Iron” Gates (Penny Johnson Jerald), not to mention photo after photo after photo of furrowed brows and worried looks (Ryan and Esposito FTW! The return of Josh, err…. not so much), there is quite literally something for everyone. But hey, don’t take our word for it, see for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

Advertising Anarchy: The Evolution of [the CW] Man
Are you ready for an Extreme Makeover: CW Network Edition? Considering your very own TV Addict is inching uncomfortably closer and closer to the top end of the Network’s 18-to-34 demographic is, we sure as heck are! Which is why, in addition to applauding newly-minted CW President Mark Pedowitz on his attempt to broaden the Network’s appeal with more adult-driven fare such as RINGER and NIKITA, we thought we’d — as we are wont to do — go one step further by offering up a little unsolicited advice in the form of our latest instalment of Advertising Anarchy (Also known as our take on how networks might wish to consider promoting some of our favorite new and returning shows ). Because let’s face it, our little CW Network is finally growing up! See for yourself, after the jump. [Read more…]

We Shine the Spotlight on THE SECRET CIRCLE Star Gale Harold
Thanks to his star-making role on QUEER AS FOLK, actor Gale Harold knows a thing or two about playing the bad boy. Just don’t tell him that.
“Brian Kinney wasn’t an a**hole, I just think he didn’t care about toeing the line. He wanted to be himself, he simply wasn’t willing to take a back seat or entertain anyone else’s idea of right and wrong and he didn’t hesitate to let that be known,” explained Harold when asked during the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour about his penchant for playing the character fans love to hate. “So I don’t think he was a bad guy at all. In fact, he was a very very heroic character that took care of himself and lived to be what he thought what he wanted to be.”
Luckily for Harold, it’s that kind of conviction to one’s character that will certainly come in handy as the actor prepares to step into the shoes of Charles Meade, a respected Chance Harbor citizen and father with a witchy agenda of his very own in THE SECRET CIRCLE, the CW’s much-anticipated companion piece to THE VAMPIRE DIARIES premiering this Fall. But just what brought the artist formerly known as Brian Kinney back to the small screen in his first regular series gig since Fox’s appropriately titled mystery whodunit VANISHED? [Read more…]
