Remember that much talked about female version of PRISON BREAK Fox was reportedly mulling over a few seasons back? Well, lucky for FRINGE fans, Olivia Dunham certainly does. Who we can now reveal — courtesy of this exclusive first look photo from the upcoming third season premiere — pulls a ‘Michael Scofield’ of her very own in an effort to escape the debatably-evil clutches of Walternate and the Alternate Universe. Will Olivia succeed? Just who is that revolver pointed at? And most importantly, how on earth did she find an Alt-Universe Tattoo parlour capable of providing her with the now-obligatory full-body tattoo on such short notice!? Find out for yourself when FRINGE returns on September 23 at 9PM on Fox.

5 Reasons Why You’re Not Going to Want to Miss the Second Season Premiere of LIFE UNEXPECTED
In a letter accompanying the DVD screener of LIFE UNEXPECTED’s second season premiere, executive producer and creator Liz Tigelaar had this to say with regards to the new season.
“We are thrilled to be able to continue telling the stories of these characters and this unlikely family and have worked hard to broaden out and expand the scope of the show, giving our familiar characters new conflicts challenges and victories. Hopefully you’ll like what what you see.”
Suffice to say, we didn’t just like what we sawy… we love it! Which is we’re dedicating Today’s TV Addict Top 5 to the reasons why you’re not going to want to miss the second season premiere of LIFE UNEXPECTED.
Unexpected surprises!
Move over Shonda Rhimes, there’s a far more unexpected turn of events in store for fans of LIFE UNEXPECTED when the show returns for its much-anticipated second season on September 14th. What’s more, said surprise will happen just prior to those now familiar guitar strings being plucked by theme songstress Rain Perry. And, we should mention, totally worth tuning in for.

No Ordinary Blogger: The TV Addict Predicts the Future!
Move over Matt Parkman, there’s a new hero in town.
On July 15, 2010 your very own TV Addict semi-seriously suggested in the form of a highly hilarious and now eerily prescient edition of “The Backlot” (see above) — that in an effort to combat his recent string of sitcom failures (BACK TO YOU, HANK), costly divorce, and impending fifth child with fourth wife 29-year old Kayte Walsh — Kelsey Grammer might wish to consider returning to the character that turned him a household name.
On August 31, 2010 the NY Post reported that Grammer is doing just that! Announcing via twitter that “we’re thinking of bringing something back maybe a spin off with Frasier & Niles Kids and cameo’s from Frasier and Cheers.”
Coincidence? We think not. [Read more…]
10 Pressing Questions Prior to the Launch of the Fall 2010 TV Season
By: Vlada Gelman
1. Will THE GOOD WIFE be even better in season two? One of the most successful new dramas of last season isn’t playing it safe. Season two spoilers hint at major shakeups and new characters played by incredible actors like Tammy Blanchard and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS’ Scott Porter in a storyline that will set him up against the mysterious Kalinda. Add to that guest star Michael J. Fox, Carey working for the other side, Alan Cumming as a regular cast member, and THE GOOD WIFE seems poised to top itself. I can’t wait.
2. Can THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Nina Dobrev successfully pull off playing two characters in more than just flashbacks? Early buzz seems to suggest, “Yes,” and what we’ve seen so far in previews of season two looks very promising. Plus, after Dobrev’s surprise Emmys performance, I’m not going to bet against the girl.
3. Will the COMMUNITY writers run from Jeff and Annie again? I was lucky enough to visit the Community set recently, where Joel McHale and Alison Brie talked about their characters unexpected chemistry, so I’ll have more about this later. But I’m still concerned that the Community writers are scared of the unexpected, somewhat inappropriate chemistry between Jeff and the much younger Annie.
