Good News, Bad News: ARROW, THE FINDER & HAWAII FIVE-0
Good News: Former SMALLVILLE star Justin Hartley has inked a deal to headline a CW Pilot. Bad News: Nope, the creative team behind the Network’s ARROW reboot haven’t come to their senses and handed Hartley the cowl and arrow he so richly deserves, but rather a role on a thinly veiled GREY’S ANATOMY rip-off entitled FIRST CUT.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with GCB Star Kristin Chenoweth
This Sunday, ABC will give new meaning to the phrase “something wicked this way comes” when it takes the wraps off its newest sudsy series GCB. Created by Robert Harling (Soapdish, Steel Magnolias, THE FIRST WIVES CLUBS) and produced by Darren Star (SEX AND THE CITY, MELROSE PLACE) GCB follows reformed mean girl Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), who after the untimely death of her Bernie Madoff meets Eliot Spitzer-esque husband, must move back to Dallas and face her overbearing mother and former high school “friends.” And here to preview just how “welcome” Amanda’s old classmates intend to make her feel is none other than the unofficial president of the welcoming committee herself, Carlene Cockburn. One part Mean Girl, one part Mother Teresa, all parts actress Kristin Chenoweth, who, was only too happy to talk about what it has been like playing a character so outlandish and scheme-driven that she may in fact give GLEE’s Sue Sylvester a run for her money.

SURVIVOR! REVENGE! AWAKE! MAD MEN! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Best Comeback, Primetime Division: For a hot minute there, it was looking as if the ladies of SURVIVOR were gonna be an embarrassment to women everywhere… until they came roaring back and won two challenges in a row.
Best Comeback, Daytime Division: Under new headwriter Ron Carlivati, GENERAL HOSPITAL had fans more excited about the beleaguered soap than they’ve been in years.
Most Unexpected Gift: Sarah Palin brought HBO more publicity than they could ever purchase by releasing a video slamming their upcoming biopic, GAME CHANGE.
Silliest Assumption: Entertainment Weekly, in breaking the news that Jessica Lange would play an entirely new character during season 2 of AMERICAN HORROR STORY, went on to say that “obviously” Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott” wouldn’t return because their characters had died. Two problems with that statement: First, it’s a show about ghosts! And secondly, anthology series’ such as AHS have a long history of using the same actors in different roles.
Worst Use Of A Cliffhanger: If ABC was going to go the entire month of March without new episodes of REVENGE, why not make the Fire & Ice party (in which Tyler was murdered and everyone was a suspect) the final outing before the break? [Read more…]
