With thirteen episodes remaining, serious kudos must go to the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA creative team for not only continuing to deliver one helluva final season, but forgoing all pretense of keeping the show accessible for new fans. Stand alone episodes, tedious exposition, who needs it? Certainly not when we’re this close to reaching earth!
Sloan’s new leaf! Callie and Hahn! Christina Cleaning! The Chief’s intern! Mer and Der! The only thing we’re not loving about the phenomenal string of post—WGA strike GREY’S ANATOMY episodes is that they’re coming to an end this Thursday.
Proving her Academy Award Nominated turn in GONE BABY GONE was no accident, we’ve got two words for Thursday’s remarkable guest starring turn by Amy Ryan — Emmy Nomination. In fact, Ryan’s stint as the ‘new Toby’ was so stellar that this TV Addict is going to offer up three more words on the off chance the proverbial Powers That Be are reading this. Spin—off potential.
While the majority of the net is up in arms this week thanks to Mick St. John’s untimely stake to the heart and ABC taking the ax to MEN IN TREES.

Since this TV Addict has been harping on UGLY BETTY’s shall we say ‘lack of funny’ for a few weeks now. I thought I should take an opportunity to give credit where credit’s due. It only took three weeks, but Thursday’s BETTY brought the funny back by finally reuniting Wilhelmina and Marc with the Meade’s and Mode. Here’s hoping Thursday’s season finale featuring ‘special’ guest star Lindsay Lohan doesn’t ruin the momentum…
… like Britney’s did on Monday’s HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Now I’m not normally one to kick a girl when she’s down. But Britney Spear’s return to HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER was nothing short of an embarrassment. Or to quote Time TV Critic James Poniewozik, “The storyline and character the writers have contrived to shoehorn her [Britney] into the show—kind of an extreme version of the borderline crazy-obsessives that characters on Friends were always hooking up with—just made her seem like she had wandered onto the wrong sitcom set.”
