And the Most Valuable Guest Star of the Week Goes To… : Parker Posey, whose hilariously biting portrayal of Amy Poehler’s small-town rival has “recurring guest star” written all over it. The “I Can’t Define Irony But I Know It When I See It Award” Goes To… : President Obama, who interrupted the last fifteen [...]

Best Calling Out: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell put his corporate bosses in the hot seat by insisting they end attention whore Donald Trump’s “relentless campaign of hatred” by revealing that the tycoon can’t run for president because he’s committed to doing another season of THE APPRENTICE. (We here at thetvaddict.com continue urging viewers to boycott Trump’s offerings… [...]

This morning, I did something that — as a TV fan who considers certain reality shows to be among his guiltiest of pleasures — was tough but necessary: I deleted THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE from my DVR. Despite having thoroughly enjoyed this season, I can no longer in good faith support anything tainted by Donald Trump, [...]

BONES, HIMYM, CASTLE & FRINGE: Find Out if Your Favorite Show’s Season Finale Will Live Up to the Hype!

With a slew of season finales just around the corner, the phrase “game changer” has become pretty much par for the course when perusing any interview with either showrunners and stars alike. And while we don’t blame either party for [over]-hyping their wares in an effort to attract the maximum number of eyeballs, we do [...]

Channel Surfing: OUTSOURCED, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, THE APPRENTICE & More!

It’s not often I admit to being wrong. This is not to say I’m never wrong, but rather that I rarely admit to it. However, where NBC’s freshman series OUTSOURCED is concerned, I feel the need to not only admit that my initial opinion was wrong, but heap a bit of praise upon the show. [...]

Channel Surfing with CT: GLEE, LOST, GOSSIP GIRL & CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

When GLEE faded to black for its mid-season break, I admitted to being more than a little disappointed. Story-wise, the season had been a hot mess with plots randomly rushed, dropped or shuffled depending on who’d written any particular episode. But in true feel-good-TV style, the finale gave us comeuppance (Sue was suspended) and true [...]

Dispatches From the Couch: The Long, Slow Death Of A Franchise

Let’s face facts: The last time THE APPRENTICE actually captured our attention was when NBC canceled the show in 2007 and Donald Trump basically responded with, “You can’t fire me! I quit!” That was probably the smartest thing the walking combover had done since hiring reality-star-in-the-making Omarosa several seasons earlier. But the moment NBC came [...]

Monday’s TV Headlines: ONE TREE HILL, Ryan Seacrest and Trump

If we’re to believe the beacon of journalistic integrity that is TMZ.com, ONE TREE HILL has just officially jumped the shark. According to ‘sources’, TMZ.com is ‘reporting’ that Kevin Federline is set to shoot a guest spot on the CW sudser this week. All together now, they cancelled EVERWOOD for this? (Yup, two years later, [...]
