It is good to be king, and it is even better to be a writer/executive producer of a hit television series. For Steven DeKnight, life does not get any better than being “king” of Starz’s drama series SPARTACUS: VENGEANCE. Taking time to chat with press in a recent conference call, Steven talked about what this next season holds in store and which characters may or may not make it through the season. [Read more…]

Death of a Salesman
You can fool most of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time… but you have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool us here at The TV Addict. (We’re big fans of sleeping in, so anything you pull before, say, 9 a.m.? Chances are, you’ll get away with it.)
Name-Your-Own-Price outlet Priceline.com announced that a new ad will center on the death of their corporate mascot, the Negotiator played since 2007 by William Shatner. In the new ad, the actor best known as Captain Kirk is seen safely seeing passengers off a bus just before it plunges off a bridge and explodes into a ball of fire.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Negotiator!
Or so they want us to believe. [Read more…]
Ask the Addict: Spoilers for GLEE, THE GOOD WIFE, SHAMELESS, DEGRASSI & More!
Any scoop on Sunday’s episode of THE GOOD WIFE?
The TV Addict: Having recently had the pleasure of sneaking a peek at Sunday’s episode (And yes, we’re well aware how awesome our job can be!) we can assure you that this weekends much-anticipated return of hit CBS series is sooooooo worth the wait. And while we’re not about to spoil the outcome of Wendy Scott-Carr’s increasingly intrusive investigation into Will Gardner’s on court activities, we will alert you to the fact that sparks will fly. Specifically between Alicia and Peter, who have exchange so tense, it would make Jackie blush! Also of note for fans of Archie Panjabi is a confrontation between Kalinda and Monica Raymond’s Dana that gets a little physical. Read into that what you will.
Cannot express how pleased I was to see theTVaddict.com jump on the SWITCHED AT BIRTH bandwagon earlier in the week. Gushing aside, any clues as to how serious Daphne and Wilke are going to get?
The TV Addict: Serious enough that the sources close to the production have let it slip that Producers are currently on the lookout for an actor to play Wilke’s dad! That’s the good news. With the bad news beings that whomever snags the part of Wilke’s dad may very soon be on the receiving end of a very upsetting phone call. Gulp! [Read more…]

CASTLE First Look: “Pandora”
Talk about your killer timing! Bad news CASTLE fans, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Castle and Beckett are about to find out if three really is a crowd. Or at least that’s our takeaway after perusing a handful of just released photos from CASTLE’s February 13th episode entitled “Pandora” that leaves our dynamic duo with no choice but to join forces with Sophia Conrad (Jennifer Beals, guesting as a smart, sexy CIA operative who has a “complicated” past with our intrepid hero Castle) in an effort to stop a ruthless killer who may-or-may-not have ties to a sinister international conspiracy. More first look photos of what is being billed by ABC as the first episode of a two-part CASTLE “event” can be found after the jump. [Read more…]
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Kiefer Sutherland Talks Up TOUCH
Giving credence to the old idiom that you can’t keep a good man down, Kiefer Sutherland returns to television tonight in Tim Kring’s TOUCH. Cooler still, much like his most famous small screen ego that saw him defeat evildoers twenty-four-hours at a time, the artist formerly known as Jack Bauer will once be asked to save the world. Except this time, as widower Martin Bohm, he’ll be doing so through an autistic son [David Mazouz] whose obsession with numbers may turns out to be a helluva lot more than meets the eye. [Read more…]
