While we here at theTVaddict.com don’t normally like to be reminded that the traditional television season does in fact come to a screeching halt a mere three months from now, the snowy slushy wintery mash-up that we’re currently suffering up here in Toronto Canada TV Addict HQ has us more than willing to look forward to summer. Thus, what follows are Fox’s just released 2013 season finale and summer schedule dates. See for yourself, after the jump. [Read more…]

A Candid Conversation with VIKINGS Star Jessalyn Gilsig
Since bursting onto our radar in NIP/TUCK, to more recent roles on HEROES and GLEE, Jessalyn Gilsig has always been one of the actress who commanded our attention whenever she graced the screen. Thus, when we were recently afforded the opportunity for a little one-on-one time to discuss her latest head-turning role in VIKINGS (Premiering Sunday March 3 at 10PM on History), it should come as no surprise as we jumped at the chance. What follows is our exclusive one-on-one in which Gilsig reveals what attracted her to a decidedly different role, how her matriarchal character of Siggy stacks up against GLEE’s Terri and NIP/TUCK’s Gina and what audiences can expect from her upcoming guest stint on THE GOOD WIFE. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

Consumer Watchdog: Will Canadians Ever Stop Getting Screwed By Bell Media and Rogers’ Monopolizing Ways?
Good News: Years after HBO released their award-winning HBO GO service, Canadian counterpart Astral Media has finally unveiled TMN GO, their new service that “puts more than 1,500 hours of high-definition quality programming from The Movie Network, HBO Canada and The Movie Network Encore (TMN Encore) at subscribers’ fingertips. Bad News: According to an Astral press release, at launch, the service is only available to customers “of Bell Fibe TV, Bell Satellite TV and Cogeco Cable, with Rogers launching the service in the coming weeks and additional television providers expected to join shortly thereafter.”
Now, as a longtime Rogers customer, it’s not so much that this TV Addict is angry with not being able to access TMN GO at launch — after-all, taking full advantage of the service, not to mention many other fantastic legal online viewing alternatives such as Netflix is pretty much a moot point thanks to Canada’s ridiculously prohibitive and costly data caps. Rather our frustration stems from this being just the latest example of why hardworking and honest Canadians (Read: The ones who actually believe in legally paying for content that Networks and Studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars per year to produce!) continue to be helpless pawns for Canada’s two major telecommunication companies to take advantage of. What’s worse. This is just the beginning. [Read more…]
