Possibly one of the funniest woman alive (in my humble opinion) talks to Michael Ausiello over on Ausiello’s Blog. Cheri spills the beans on her time on SNL (to promote her recently released ‘Best of Cheri Oteri’ DVD) and her long awaited sitcom project with JJ Abrams. Click here to check it out.

Save EVERWOOD Project Update
Just wanted to let everyone know, the SAVE EVERWOOD: Ferris Wheel Project has raised $6,321.08. Visit Save Everwood for more info on how you can help!
Help Save Screech!
In what is possibly one of the ‘saddest’ (note: sarcasm) stories I’ve read in a while, Screech from SAVED BY THE BELL, needs OUR HELP! Apparently he is being evicted from his house in Wisconsin. I won’t bore you with the details, but to read his ‘story’ click here.
Forget Saving Everwood, or helping people who actually need it (ie. folks suffering from disease, poverty, hurricane katrina etc…) let’s help SCREECH! (again: note sarcasm).
As much as I often dreamed of being a tv star when I was a kid, things like this really makes me thankful that I avoided having a life or career that peaked as 12!
Seth MacFarlane’s Harvard Speech

My 15 Minutes of Fame!
theTVaddict has reached new levels of fame! Check out my question being answered during last night’s Eonline.com Chat!
From Daniel_theTVaddict: Korbi, thank you for supporting Everwood. It totally made my day to see you wearing the T-shirt I designed (Save Everwood) on the Vine show! Can you let everyone know that all profits from the sale of the Everwood swag will be directly donated to the Save Everwood Project Ferris Wheel Campaign? The swag can be found at here. Thanks again!
Korbi Ghosh: My pleasure, Daniel! We cannot let the best family drama ever written disappear without a fight. Thank you for designing the shirt. I just can’t bare the thought of losing Ephram Brown and his sullen ways.
So if you want to be as awesome as Korbi and help support the ‘Save Everwood’ campaign, visit my TVaddict Swag shop by clicking here.
Coolest EVERWOOD news EVER!
Today started off like any other Tuesday. Wake up, walk my dog MAC (named after my 2 fav ‘macs’ my computer and Veronica’s BFF), then started to do some work and update theTVaddict.com. Being Tuesday, I clicked on over to the Queen of Scoop, Kristin (over on eonline.com) to read the transcripts from last night’s chat. So I’m reading, scrolling, reading some more, then I get to this question:
From illergirl: Everwood! Please tell us. Any hope? Although I haven’t heard any confirmation of talks with the CW re-opening, I absolutely adore the new fan campaign. You’ve heard of it, right? Some genius fans are raising funds to rent a Ferris wheel and put it outside Dawn Ostroff’s office. If you saw the finale, you know why this rocks so hard. You can get the details here. Also, Korbi just ran into real-life lovebirds Chris Pratt and Emily Van Camp! Korbi, care to share with the rest of the class?
From Korbi Ghosh: Do I! Well, if you watch this week’s Vine show, you’ll see I was wearing a ‘Save Everwood’ T-shirt, because I’m pretty much heartbroken over the cancellation, and so on board with the campaign.
Anyway, after filming, I happened to be meeting some friends at the Grove for dinner and as I’m walking to the restaurant, who do I happen to see…holding hands no less?! Bright and Amy (aka Chris Pratt and Emily Van Camp)!! I kid you not, I almost fell over. I totally freaked, but a friend of mine who was much calmer called over to them and when they saw my T-shirt, they loved it! Chris said “I want a T-shirt like that!” and told me that I made his day. Emily talked about how sad she was and Chris joked that he’s going to crash the CW TCA and pretend like he’s unaware that they didn’t pick up Everwood!
The two of them were absolutely adorable and couldn’t have been nicer. They said that at this point, their plan is to go back to Utah, move out of their places, relocate to L.A. and start auditioning again. They seemed truly upset about it. I would’ve started to tear up while they were talking to me, except that I was so freaking excited that they were there! That encounter is now number one on my list of Hollywood moments. I mean, I was wearing a freaking ‘Save Everwood’ T-shirt, people!
Now, you’re probably wondering why this is so cool? We’ll I’ll tell you, Korbi’s SAVE EVERWOOD tshirt was designed by myself (theTVaddict)!!! So if you want to see how awesome the shirt looks in action, check out Kristin’s VINE show and see Kristin and Korbi (wearing my tshirt!).
I should also mention that all proceeds from my SAVE EVERWOOD swag will be donated directly to the SAVE EVERWOOD: PROJECT FERRIS WHEEL campaign!
Save Everwood Swag including tshirts, mousepads, and more can be purchased at theTVaddict store
My Take on TV
*Note: Originally, I was going to do a “what I’d like to see next season” column, but The TV Addict and I felt that this week’s column, regarding saving cancelled shows, was much more pressing. Look for the 06-07 hopes in next week’s column!
In a world where mindless drivel (One Tree Hill, 7th Heaven, The War at Home) is celebrated because people flock to robotic acting like a moth to a flame, and critical darlings (Arrested Development, Everwood, Invasion, etc.) are pushed aside because writing that makes people think tends to cause panic, we, as television addicts, have no choice, but to fight to the death to prove the network honchos wrong and to try, with all of our hearts, to save the shows that make us happy week in and week out.
Save Everwood Project Update
Just wanted to let everyone know, the SAVE EVERWOOD: Ferris Wheel Project has raised $5,447.90. Visit Save Everwood for more info on how you can help! I’ve been told the ideal donation goal is $8,000.
