THE GOOD: After last week’s virtually unwatchable edition of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE hosted by Scarlett Johansson, this TV Addict is sure as heck thankful for Anne Hathaway, whose infectious energy and willingness to do anything for a laugh helped contribute to one of the most delightful episodes of the season. Highlights of which included Hathaway’s [...]

The Parents Television Council (PTC) In response to an upcoming issue of GQ which features a very revealing spread of GLEE stars Dianna Agron and Lea Michele in various states of undress, the PTC released a statement chastising the magazine for what they’re characterizing as “a disturbing spread… bordering on pedophilia.” Why they’re not smarter [...]

By theTVaddict on October 6th, 2010 at October 6th, 2010
… And we think we speak for everyone in saying, let’s hope to God that these promos aren’t indicitive of the laughs (or lack their-of) we can expect from Saturday’s highly-anticipated Jane Lynch hosted instalment of the iconic late night franchise. We’re just sayin’
Bryan Cranston Hosts SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and we’ve got your Good, Bad & Ugly
By theTVaddict on October 3rd, 2010 at October 3rd, 2010
THE GOOD: Despite the fact that the host subsituting his or her monologue for a song-and-dance is one of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s most overused devices, Bryan Cranston’s little ditty that cleverly played on the fact that outside of New York and Los Angeles he is one of the least known actors in recent memory to [...]

Good News: Amy Poehler will host the September 25th season premiere of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

You Be the Critic: Betty White Hosts SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
By theTVaddict on May 9th, 2010 at May 9th, 2010
This just in: The massively overhyped television event that was last night’s Betty White hosted instalment of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE actually bucked the trend and… wait for it… lived up to the hype! Which is why, rather than nitpick about the little things — like the show’s astoundingly unimaginative writing that relied far too heavily [...]
