Random TV Tidbits: HEROES, THE OFFICE & VERONICA MARS

Nothing excites this TV Addict more then innovative marketing — okay, that didn’t sound as sad in my head — but nevertheless. In a continued effort to increase viewership, NBC has released a video commentary of last night’s episode with stars Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) and Hayden Planetarium… Panettiere (Claire Bennett). Click on over to NBC’s HEROES site to check it out. Sadly, since US networks apparently discrimentate against their friends to the north (Canadians), I’m not able to watch the commenary, but anything with Greg Grunberg is bound to be funny. Except of course for his storyline on HEROES, which has been uncharacteristically boring.

In anticipation of tonights new episode of VERONICA MARS, the CW has posted a new interview with MARS comic relief Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas) where he answers YOUR questions. Yes, YOUR questions… so if you don’t like the interview, you only have yourself to blame.

Philly.com has posted an article about THE OFFICE’S Kate Flannery (Meredith). Did you know that she didn’t even quit her waitressing job until THE OFFICE got picked up for a second season? Well, now you do. Apparently, to make it big in Hollywood, you have to either have practically given up, or have lived in your car just long enough to make it big (see: Jim Carrey, Jewel). I knew I was doing something wrong. Damn me and the ‘big life’ in my apartment!
