Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things We’re Thankful For [TV Edition]
NBC
While consistent failure is probably not something the suits at ’30 Rock’ are thankful for this holiday season, the Peacock’s inability to attract a respectable number of eyeballs to anything outside of their Sunday Night NFL Football package is the best thing to happen to TV Addicts since the invention of the DVR/PRV. After-all, nothing keeps low rated gems like COMMUNITY, 30 ROCK, PARENTHOOD and CHUCK on the air like a complete and utter lack of alternatives. We’re just sayin’
Twitter
Whether it’s providing us with a pipeline to television news and headlines as they happen, or acting as the ultimate running commentary while we’re watching our favorites, twitter has become so much more than the social media fad du jour, but rather, an invaluable viewing partner for any TV Addict.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Questions with HUMAN TARGET Star Janet Montgomery
Don’t hate Janet Montgomery because she’s beautiful. Hate her because in the span of a little over a year, the talented young British actress has gone from shooting student films with friends to a string of high profile roles that include stints on ENTOURAGE, HUMAN TARGET and the upcoming Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan. Just how did she do it? We recently had the opportunity to find out from Ms. Montgomery herself while on location with the HUMAN TARGET team in Vancouver British Columbia.
Your big break came on a second season episode of SKINS that saw you play a mysterious young girl showing Tony around University. How did that role come about?
Janet Montgomery: That was my first job and you know what I was incredibly lucky. I was doing a student movie and I already had the part sort of doing a favor for a friend and he said, “Will you come read with some of the guys we’re auditioning.” I was like, “all right,” so I go down there and they happen to be casting SKINS in the same building. Now I didn’t have any representation at the time, just literally got to London, but I knew that Harry Enfield was directing, who was a big comedy directory. He was outside having a cigarette, so I just went up to him thinking I may as well do it and I was like, “Is there a part for me?” And he said, “You know what there might be, come read.” And I got the part. I was so cocky, took a chance and it paid off. And if it didn’t, what was the worst that could have happened? You make a tawt out of yourself for five minutes, just go home, get in a bath and wash it off.

First Look: MAD MEN’s Jon Hamm Gets Simpsonsized
Having spent the first half of his career toiling away in relative obscurity, it’s understandable that Jon Hamm has made a habit out of making the most his downtime while MAD MEN’s on hiatus. Next up, in his impressive string of guest spots that include recent appearances on 30 ROCK, the Emmys, Rob Corddry’s CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, Joshua Malina’s BACKWASH and CONAN, is a right of passage for any actor of his acclaim: THE SIMPSONS. And here with your first look at Hamm’s animated alter ego — an FBI agent who tosses Homer in the slammer for a laundry list of criminal offences in the New Year — is theTVaddict.com. “Donnie Fatso” airs Sunday December 12 at 8PM on FOX (Global TV in Canada).

An Open Letter to THE BIG BANG THEORY’s Simon Helberg
Dear Simon Helberg,
You’ve just received an $85,000 per episode raise for your hilarious work on THE BIG BANG THEORY, what are you going to do next? Well, before you answer with the obligatory jaunt to DisneyLand or the more synergistic trip to Warner Bros. own Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, may we humbly suggest firing your agent. No, really.
While a salary bump from roughly $40,000 to $125,000 per episode might seem like an acceptable increase in pay following THE BIG BANG THEORY’s phenomenally successful move to Thursday nights at 8PM, coupled with an almost unheard of syndication deal that will net your show’s producers (Warner Bros.) a cool 2 million dollars an episode, your co-stars (with the exception of Kunal Nayyar whose contract negotiation remains unresolved) all made off slightly better. And by slightly, we mean waaaaaaay better.
