From the moment that Emma broke the Storybrooke spell, we knew that nothing would ever be the same in ONCE UPON A TIME again. The whole premise viewers tuned in for was to see how a young woman was persuaded to come to a town where all the inhabitants were fairytale characters – with one significant twist: none of them knew it. It was simultaneously hilarious and intriguing to see Emma encounter each character and guess who they really were from all the classic fairytales. It was also fun watching the dubious Emma slowly discover that things were indeed not as they seemed on the surface in Storybrooke. So the lure of the show was in the discovery. We were intoxicated and addicted to solving the mysteries along with Emma. [Read more…]

Photo of the Day: Beauty and the Brawn
With television talent both in front and behind the camera making a habit of tweeting photos ranging from spoilerific to hilarious, theTVaddict.com thought it might be fun to introduce a new feature to the site that we’ve not-so-cleverly decided to call “Photo of the Day.” Today’s subject, courtesy of NIKITA executive producer Albert Kim (@magicbranch) comes a fun photo featuring the fringe benefits that result when a Studio [Warner Bros. Television] decides to shoot two shows simultaneously in the same city [Toronto]. Tweeted Kim, “The kick-ass women of the #CW: @MaggieQ and @MsKristinKreuk”
NEW GIRL! HOMELAND! DEGRASSI! THE GOOD WIFE! SURVIVOR! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Best Quote: HBO’s flick THE GIRL — about the troubled relationship between Tippi Hendren and Alfred Hitchcock during the making of the classic frightfest THE BIRDS — kicked off with the following words from the director: “Blondes make the best victims. They’re like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.”
Dumbest Deal: Did that SURVIVOR tribe really just give up all their rice in exchange for brownies and a shower? Yes, in fact they did.
Biggest Improvement: Sunday’s episode of THE GOOD WIFE was far and away it’s best episode of the season. It was also the first episode that was devoid of Kalinda’s mysterious husband Nick. Coincidence: We think not.
Surest Bet: In offering the biggest prize on reality TV, Spike TV’s $10 MILLION DOLLAR BIG FOOT BOUNTY is gambling on the fact that nobody will be able to prove the creature exists.
Worst Friend: Whoever the dude is who stood next to SAVED BY THE BELL alum Lark Voorhies as she babbled to a stalkerazzi from TMZ should be ashamed of himself. Friends don’t let friends yammer incoherently to the press. [Read more…]

REVENGE First Look: “Forgiveness”
She’s baaaaaaack! After weeks of anticipation and build up, REVENGE is finally serving up the mother of all reunions. What’s more, you’re invited! No really. This Sunday, October 28th at 9PM, ABC (and CityTV in Canada) cordially welcome you to brunch! Of course, in typical Hamptonite fashion, said freebie frittatas come with some serious strings attached in that you’ll be forced to dine with none other than Victoria Grayson and Kara Wallace Clarke during what we can only imagine — based on these just released spoiler pics — may in fact go down as one of the most awkward reunions in recent television history. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

HAVEN Central: Why Duke Crocker May Be the Better Man for Audrey Parker
In the fan world for Syfy’s supernatural series HAVEN, a hot and heavy debate has raged for over the past 3 seasons over whether Audrey Parker’s (Emily Rose) heart should be won by the bad-boy smuggler Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour) or the good-guy police detective Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant). For the better part of the first couple seasons, it was a genuine toss-up between the handsome heroes and yet as the second season came to a close, it seemed like Audrey had finally made up her mind and chose Nathan.
However, the third season has shown in the first few episodes, that there may be a change of heart or rather a shift in the tug-of-war. So what exactly changed? [Read more…]
