How a Holiday Trip to the “Video Store” Turned into an American Horror Story!
Even in death, Blockbuster Video continues to haunt us.
This past holiday, your very own TV Addict found ourselves in the somewhat unenviable position of having to rent an old-fashioned physical DVD (No, we were not vacationing in Amish country). Where things get complicates is that with most video stores being a thing of the past and not a Redbox in sight, our only option was to hit up a local [Shudder] Blockbuster Express.
Now, at this point you’re probably asking yourself why we’re taking the time to (a) kick a company when it’s down, and/or (b) discuss the movie industry, when the normal bailiwick of this website just so happens to be — as the masthead suggests — television. [Read more…]
Review: ROGERS LIVE TV App
Combining two of our favorite addictions, theTVaddict.com has begun periodically turning off the TV in order to review TV-related iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Apps.
If one of your New Year resolutions included increasing the number of ways in which you can watch live television throughout your house, you’re probably going to want to check out Rogers recently released Live TV App.
What Works: As the title suggests, Rogers Live TV App gives customers who subscribe to the company’s Hi-Speed Internet (Lite tier and above) and Rogers Digital TV (excluding Digital TV Starter Pack) the ability to stream live TV directly to their iPad. Also working in the App’s favor is the quality of the stream which is almost as impressive as the no hassle process that allows one to be up and streaming in seconds after simply logging on using ones My Rogers account.

Review: WORK IT
From “needing some work” to “a drag in every way” television critics throughout North America have had quite a field day in writing about ABC’s cross dressing comedy WORK IT. And for good reason, it’s not a very good show.
Yet rather than simply pile on to the chorus of criticism that the internet has been heaping upon executive producers Ted Cohen and Andrew Reich (Who we can only hope for the sake of their sanity are sitting on a beautiful beach thousands of miles from the nearest Wi-Fi connection at this very moment) we thought — in the spirit of the New Year and all — we’d do something somewhat uncharacteristic of us: Focus on the positives.

Secrets and Lies! Alexandra Chando Dishes on the Return of THE LYING GAME
In ABC Family’s hot teen mystery series THE LYING GAME, Alexandra Chando plays twins Emma and Sutton. In the first half of this season, Sutton has her twin sister take her place so that she can track down their birth mother. But the longer that Emma pretends to be her twin, the murkier and more entangled their lives become. Sutton’s search for their birth mother unearthed a woman by the name of Annie Hobbs, who was being kept in a psychiatric care facility. In the meantime, Emma discovers that she loves Sutton’s family and has fallen in love with her sister’s boyfriend. Outraged and betrayed, Sutton returns to unmask Emma and show what a fraud she is. But at the end of the mid-season finale, things take a more sinister turn as Sutton is last seen as her car sinks to the bottom a lake with a dark figure in the back seat. In an exclusive interview, Alexandra Chando shared what’s next for the twins and how their lives are affected by Sutton’s disappearance. [Read more…]
