Question of the Day: Wardrobe Unexpected!
Inspired by a spot-on comment from reader “Chris-Wait,” who couldn’t help but notice Lux’s somewhat questionable “basketball uniform” during last night’s fantastic instalment of LIFE UNEXPECTED, this TV Addict feels compelled to bring back our semi-regular “Question of the Day” feature by asking: What’s less believable? The fact that the only basketball uniform Lux seemed capable of cobbling together was one that may-or-may-not have formerly belonged to a Hooters waitress, or the idea that the somewhat-less-than-sporty Math coaches basketball!? Discuss.
Britney/Brittany: Were You a Slave 4 GLEE?
When the most entertaining aspect of last night’s heavily-hyped Brittany/Britney episode of GLEE involved Guidance Counsellor Emma Pillsbury’s replenishing her always laugh-out-loud pamphlets (Topics included: “Proper wiping Easy as 1-2-3,” “I still breastfeed… but how old is too old?” and “WOW! There’s hair down there.” ) you know you’re in for a long night. Suffice to say, we’re not a slave 4 Britney Spears. Which unfortunately for GLEE, is the crux of the problem.

Bug! Tasha! Jones! We’ve Got the Scoop on LIFE UNEXPECTED’s Returning Favorites from Creator Liz Tigelaar
Television can be a very ugly business (R.I.P. LONESTAR). Which is why, following last week’s interesting, albeit somewhat depressing look at the “UNEXPECTEDly-Ugly Truth About LIFE As The Top Dog,” with creator Liz Tigelaar, this TV Addict wanted to make a point of talking about the actual show. So if you’re wondering why Tasha has been M.I.A this season, whether or not we’ve seen the last of Bug, and if poor Lux will ever catch a break… read on!
Tasha, where are thou?
“One of the biggest things I never want to stray away too far from is not only Lux’s foster care past, but how little Cate and Baze know about it,” explained Tigelaar on where Lux’s best friend has been all season long. “Tasha plays really centrally into Lux’s life and she’s back for good in episode 4 which might be my favorite episode that we’ve ever done. I love [the actress] Ksenia Solo, and she really becomes a member of the family.”

Random Musings: LONE STAR, MIKE & MOLLY, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, & More!
Shame on Twitter! In response to an interesting conversation that popped up amongst the TV Twitterrati that we happen to follow, this TV Addict now finds himself doing something we never in a million years thought we’d be forced to do: Come to the defense of both Charlie Sheen and NBC. Sadly, LONE STAR’s dismal ratings have absolutely nothing to do with the popularity of time-slot competitors TWO AND A HALF MEN and THE EVENT. Rather, there is a far more insidious enemy at work here, one that fans of both quality scripted drama and comedy need to band together to defeat. That enemy: ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STAR, who inexplicably continues to attract an astounding forty-million eyeballs (or twenty-million viewers) per week.
And on a somewhat related note as we wait with bated breath for Fox’s proverbial powers that be to reach a conclusion with regards to LONE STAR’s fate, consider the following: Actor Jon Voight’s daughter on the show is played by Adrianne Palicki while his real life offspring is Angelina Jolie. Greatest genes in the world both in front and behind the camera? Discuss.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with RUNNING WILDE Star Keri Russell
With FELICITY being off the air for nearly a decade now, what was the impetus for your return to television?
Keri Russell: Because I had such a great run with FELICITY, which was such a positive experience in every way, I certainly wasn’t shopping around to do a series again. But when I read the RUNNING WILDE pilot — being a huge ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT fan — I just was so taken by Mitch Hurwitz that I couldn’t pass it up and couldn’t say no. I think Mitch’s relationship has been with FOX before, so it was a good fit and it’s just been a delight. It’s hilarious. I feel like I’m hanging out with my older brother and all his cool friends or something and I’m just tagging along every day.
Coming from FELICITY and film, what has it been like flexing your comedic muscles?
This show is unlike anything I’ve really done before, it’s such a different ride and I feel like I’m learning so much every day. With Mitch, it’s fast and furious where he’s rewriting things seconds before we shoot them. And I’m not talking a line, I’m talking pages of rewrites where he says, “Go ahead… I’ll just stand off to the side and I’ll give you your line.” I say, “Mitch, that’s not how it works,” but by-the-way, for Will [Arnett] it is. Will is just so sharp like that and they have such a quick, I don’t know, just such a … relationship that they just know each other’s jokes. So yes, it’s working completely different muscles. But I just have to say it’s a delight and I’m enjoying it so much. Plus, I’m getting to work in New York, which is wonderful, where I live. They’re super smart, they’re funny and it’s just refreshing for me. It’s an absolute change of pace and I’m just laughing all day.
