Post Your Favorite TV Quotes of the Week
It’s Friday and if you’re a frequent visitor to theTVaddict.com — you know what that means! Time to post your FAVORITE TV QUOTES OF THE WEEK! New to theTVaddict.com? No idea what I’m talking about? Simply post your favorite quotes of the week in the comments below and check back Sunday to see the winners. Odds are they’ll look something like this.
Think There’s No Such Thing as a Stupid Question, Check These Out!
Should the country that chooses NBC’s abhorrent KNIGHT RIDER [7.6 million viewers] over ABC’s whimsically original [albeit slightly confusing] PUSHING DAISIES [6.3 million viewers] seriously be trusted to vote the next President the United States?
Does FOX’s full season pick-up of FRINGE officially get them off the hook for the early cancellations of such TV Addict favorites like KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, UNDECLARED, DRIVE, FIREFLY and REUNION.
Who are you — as Frank would put it — gayer for? 30 ROCK’s Jamie [Val Emmich], UGLY BETTY’s Jesse [also played by Val Emmich] or LIPSTICK JUNGLE’s Kirby [see our interview].
Which Mitch Pileggi character-of-the week would you like by your side in a bar fight? Grandpa Winchester on SUPERNATURAL, SONS OF ANARCHY’s White Supremacist Leader Ernest Darby, or Kevin’s BROTHERS & SISTERS boss Browne Carter.
Is ‘free’ still too high of a price to pay for the new MTV Series Paris Hilton’s MY NEW BFF on iTunes?
Tonight’s TV Addict Must Watch: The Debate
At the risk of angering two of America’s most vocal and passionate constituencies, this TV Addict must ask this question: Should the CW really be airing new episodes of SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL on the eve of one of the most important debates in American history? Don’t get me wrong, Winchesters versus the Devil, Clark versus Doomsday, all very important. But with the challenges America currently faces both at home and abroad, this outside observer [read: Canadian TV Addict] can’t help but think that it might be better for the country as a whole if the CW’s highly coveted 18-34 demographic spent this evening watching Biden versus Palin. You know, for the good of the country.
Dispatches From The Couch: Flashin’ Faux Pas
By: Couch Tater
Okay, folks, it’s officially time to grow up.
For those who haven’t heard, the Parents Television Council is up in arms following an accidental flash of penis revealed on the September 25 episode of SURVIVOR: GABON. (Go ahead do a quick Google image search. I’ll wait.)
I’m willing to bet that 95 percent of you would never have seen contestant Marcus Lehman’s no-longer private parts were it not for the fact that the PTC turned this flash-in-the-pan(ts) moment into a major scandal by filing an indecency complaint against CBS with the Federal Communications Commission and, in turn, making his the most seen crotch since Britney stepped out of a limo sans panties.
Seriously?
