Random Musings: THE SIMPSONS, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, KRISTEN BELL
Did you happen to catch last night’s episode of THE SIMPSONS? Talk about bizarre. First we witness three of the most celebrated graphic novelists of our time [Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman and Dan Clowes] defend guest star Jack Black’s new comic book shop “Coolisville” against an angry Comic Book Guy. Then quickly cut to an entirely different story, as Marge opens up a successful chain of Curves-inspired Gyms for women. Channeling my own inner comic book guy, I’ll just say this — “Most uneven episode ever!”
After catching up on the latest three episodes of the season courtesy of my very own FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS marathon this TV Addict is left pondering one important question. Who is my favorite Dillon Panther couple? While the obvious choices include the Taylors and/or Landry and Tyra, I think this season’s MVC [Most Valuable Couple] award actually goes to Buddy Garrity and his love affair with the Dillon Panthers. Not only does Buddy bring some much needed comic relief to the show, he’s the man responsible for reuniting Coach Taylor with his family and the Panther football team. If that doesn’t get you MVC, I don’t know what does.
And finally, if theTVaddict.com is a little lacking in the update department this week, it’s my Xbox 360’s fault. I’m currently hooked on ASSASSIN’S CREED, one of the most visually stunning and addictive video games I’ve ever played. That said, I can still tie this into TV, as one of the games characters is none other than Veronica Mars herself Kristen Bell. And sadly, not to continue my attack on HEROES, but I think it says a lot about the show when her video-game character is more intriguing than her television one.
TV Talk From Fellow TV Addicts
Looking to kill some time at work? Curious as to what the rest of the world’s coolest television bloggers covered last week? Check out this week’s TV Talk From Fellow TV Addicts. Also known as the TV Blog Coalition.
The TV Addict: Fell in love with Wednesday’s PUSHING DAISIES, took bets on when the WGA Strike would end and posted some incredibly sexy pics of new TERMINATOR on the scene Summer Glau.
Glowy Box: When she wasn’t on strike to support the WGA, Liz shuddered over a pencil in the eye on Grey’s Anatomy and enjoyed Tyra’s attempt to overshadow the Project Runway premiere on America’s Next Top Model.
Mikey Likes TV: IFC’s bizarre role-playing
RTVW: On the strike side of things, we wondered how fans would feel about episodes penned by scabs and offered up ideas on how fans can support the writers. After watching Prison Break, Rae questioned why some of the shows she enjoys fail to leave her anxious to see the next installment.

Guess the Actor!
This is one of those posts that will invariably make me look like an idiot. But something has been bugging me all week. And since I have my own TV web site, I shall use the power of the people to put this question to rest.
Please confirm for me the actors on this week’s cover of Entertainment Weekly. While I’m pretty confident the star to Katherine Heigl’s left is Conan O’Brien, the actor to her right remains a mystery. Is it Steve Carell? Lee Paice? Generic actor representing all of Hollywood.
Help me out here folks, because evidently, this TV Addict is not smarter than a 5th grader.
