HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
Since CBS insists on ruining our post-Super Bowl party with the likes of SURVIVOR, CRIMINAL MINDS and Sunday’s super-underwhelming UNDERCOVER BOSS each and every time they get the chance. A fairly funny instalment of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER that introduced “duck or rabbit” into the lexicon, included a memorable callback to the ‘naked man,’ and featured one of the smartest Ted one-liners to date (“Don = Donald = Donald Duck”) — was slightly less so as we spent the better part of twenty-two minutes wondering just how many more faux post-Super Bowl episodes creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays will have to concoct before CBS finally gets the message. Fingers crossed three times is the charm.

HOUSE
Last night’s Tour-du-Cuddy performance by Lisa Edelstein continued to reinforced our belief that if HOUSE wasn’t so frequently overly formulaic, we wouldn’t so frequently press pass on Monday nights.

LIFE UNEXPECTED
Despite some fantastic guest starring turns by TV Addict favorites such as EVERWOOD’s Merrilyn Gann and BEING ERICA’s Erin Karpluk, last night’s fourth episode of LIFE UNEXPECTED finds us getting somewhat unexpectedly annoyed with the show’s pint-sized protagonist. Seriously. Outside of getting adopted by the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt clan, when is Lux going to grow up and realize just how good she’s got it? Echoing the sentiments of fellow Canadian TV Addict Myles McNutt, there are only so many more times we wish to tune in to see the same plot-point rehashed. Or, as our favorite fictional President [Bartlett] might put it, “What’s Next?”

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE
Needing to kill some time between HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and LIFE UNEXPECTED, we yet again subjected ourselves to a few minutes of Jenna Elfman’s so-called half-hour sitcom. Needless to say, our problem with it is simple: Just how is this show still on the air?

Yesterday, NBC announced the premiere dates for its ‘exciting’ summer schedule. Starting May 29, returning favourites such as AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, LAST COMIC STANDING and THE BIGGEST LOSER join the new Reality Dating Series AGE OF LOVE on the Peakock’s schedule. That click you hear in the background is the sound of theTVaddict switching off NBC until Fall 2008.

You’d think the fourth place network would try a little harder to keep viewers from flocking elsewhere. Here’s an idea. How about a night of cancelled shows? STUDIO 60, KIDNAPPED and THE BLACK DONNELLYS. Give us fans a chance for some closure.

Tired of all the controversy surrounding E! Online’s Save One Show Campaign? Why not check out BuzzSugar’s hilarious Stop One Show Poll. My vote goes to MEDIUM as theTVaddict won’t rest until every single Arquette is unemployed. Yes, you heard me David, you’re next.

Finally, in thisTVaddict’s opinion — the only acceptable winner on tonight’s episode of ACCEPTABLE TV should be Operation Kitten Calendar 2. Nothing says funny like super-model cats.

Full Disclosure: Acceptable TV did advertise on theTVaddict.com last month, but this post is in no way an advertisement. I simply find the mini-tv shows on the site really funny!

Jack Black’s ACCEPTABLE TV was a huge hit last Friday when it debuted on VH1. Hmmm… could there be a correlation between ACCEPTABLE TV’s success and the shameless ads they took out on theTVaddict.com? I wonder…

That said, check out a preview for one of this weeks mini-tv-shows (see clip above). Cirque Du Soleil meets CSI, pretty damn funny. ACCEPTABLE TV airs Friday at 10PM on VH1. To vote for what’s acceptable, head on over to acceptable.tv

We interrupt this web site for a brief commercial break. theTVaddict.com would like to extend a thank-you to its first official sponsor ACCEPTABLE TV. ACCEPTABLE TV, from the hilarious (and somewhat warped) mind of Jack Black, will change the way you watch television. With ACCEPTABLE TV, the power is in your hands.

Acceptable.TV is a TV show, a website, and a community. The TV show airs every Friday night on VH1 at 10pm. You can WATCH five episodes of short TV shows, and one show that YOU, the Acceptable.tv Community, made. On the website, you get to VOTE for two shows you’d like to see come back, as well as vote for one new show YOU made that you’d like to see on TV next week.

Frankly, it’s theTVaddict’s dream come true. I get to play TV network head honcho (7th HEAVEN, DONALD TRUMP — You’re Fired) without having to start in the mail room at William Morris. You can check out the shows by visiting acceptable.tv and be sure to tune in tonight at 10PM on VH1.
