With our one day strike in support of the WGA finally behind us [Seriously, who'd have guessed that not blabbering on endlessly about television for a day would be so difficult!] this TV Addict can finally get a few things off his chest. First on the list — HEROES. It’s not so much that I [...]
HEROES, HOUSE and [strike] HELL
By theTVaddict on November 7th, 2007 at November 7th, 2007
Today’s good news — HEROES showrunner Tim Kring finally acknowledged to EW.com what this TV Addict has been saying for months — HEROES is broken. Revealing among other things that the pace of the season has been too slow, the new heroes weren’t introduced properly and Hiro was in Japan for far too long [well duh!]. [...]
The TV Addict Asks: Why Was HEROES: ORIGINS Really Cancelled
By theTVaddict on November 1st, 2007 at November 1st, 2007
Today, NBC announced that as a result of the looming writer’s strike, the peacock network is pulling the plug on the much-hyped HEROES spin-off ORIGINS. ORIGINS, set to fill the void between April and May Sweeps was going to introduce one new hero a week with the help of a few Hollywood heavyweights such as [...]
You Be The Critic: Monday Night TV
By theTVaddict on October 30th, 2007 at October 30th, 2007
It should come as no surprise that leading up to November Sweeps, television is finally starting to kick it up a notch. Last night’s installment of HEROES was a return to form. Bringing back a surprisingly dangerous HRG, a predictably evil Sylar and an ending so jaw-dropping this TV Addict thought he had teleported back [...]

By theTVaddict on October 29th, 2007 at October 29th, 2007
By Special Guest Contributor Seth C. A lot has been written about how lousy Heroes has been this season. I for one have been greatly disappointed, but I was always taught don’t criticize unless you offer a solution. So here is my solution. Get back to the basics. Give our Heroes a goal that is [...]
HEROES: A Disappointment of Super Proportions
By theTVaddict on October 23rd, 2007 at October 23rd, 2007
After last night’s fifth chapter of HEROES, two things are clear. One, this TV Addict misses VERONICA MARS more than ever. And two, the writers of HEROES have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. Sound harsh? Let me rephrase. The writers clearly have a plan, it’s simply not a very good one. Think back to [...]
Sylar Does Good: Responsible for Kristen Bell Joining HEROES!
By theTVaddict on October 22nd, 2007 at October 22nd, 2007
One of the more interesting things HEROES star Zachary Quinto revealed to the TV Addict during our recent interview was the fact that you can thank him for the hiring of Kristen Bell. Says Quinto, only half-jokingly, “I take full responsibility for her inclusion in the show.” “Kristen and I have been friends for years. [...]

Live Blog: Kristen Bell & Tim Kring

This afternoon, the TV Addict listened in as reporters from around the world peppered Kristen Bell and Tim Kring with questions for over an hour. Not surprisingly, Kristen Bell was absolutely awesome, answering every question — no matter how lame (yes, I’m talking to you US WEEKLY) — with patience, honesty and enthusiasm. Clearly, Bell [...]
