COUGAR TOWN! SURVIVOR! ONE TREE HILL! OPRAH! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Person Whose Drugs We Must Wanna Borrow: COUGAR TOWN creator Bill Lawrence thinks his show has a chance of coming back next season… despite its shabby treatment by ABC and the fact it just got its worst ratings ever. He’s probably swimming in the river of denial, but hey, we’ll gladly breast stroke with him if it keeps hope alive. Someone hold our wine glass while we dive in.
Wussiest Move: The men of SURVIVOR opted to take a default win rather than beat the women fair and square
Silliest Whine: Charlie Sheen is apparently “tired of pretending Ashton doesn’t suck.” The former TWO AND A HALF MEN star told TMZ that his replacement is saddled with bad writing. Because, you know, the writing was so stellar when Sheen was on board.
Funnest Casting News: DESIGNING WOMEN alum Jean Smart will play Portia de Rossi’s mom in ABC’s new show, THE SMART ONE. [Read more…]

Is It Wrong to Cheer Cheating on Television?
From THE GOOD WIFE to ONCE UPON A TIME we are seeing a renaissance of cheating. Dare we speculate that “cheating” is being seen as an accepted form of relationships in modern day television? And the real question becomes: but should it be? [Read more…]

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for THE GOOD WIFE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, ONCE UPON A TIME, DEGRASSI, SUPERNATURAL & More!
Cannot wait for Sunday’s return of THE GOOD WIFE. Now that Will Gardner’s legal career seems to be back on track is there any hope at all for a rekindling of his relationship with Alicia? — Brandon
The TV Addict: We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but at what point exactly did it become clear that Will’s professional problems are over? Oh sure, Wendy Scott Carr’s witch-hunt may have wrapped up, but as this Sunday’s episode clearly illustrates, Will isn’t quite out of the woods just yet. What’s more, fans can expect the fiasco that was the failure of Wendy Scott Carr’s investigation to have serious repercussions for both Lockhart Gardner and Peter Florrick’s State Attorney’s Office in terms of personal. Seriously surprising ones that we did not in a million years see coming.
I miss the old Alicia and Kalinda. Do you think there is any chance my two favorite female friends will ever be able to look past the ugliness of the first half of this season? — Amy
The TV Addict: Oddly enough, we’ve got some good news on the Alicia and Kalinda front. It would appear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Or at least that’s our prediction based on a case that Alicia has been asked to handle that seems to set the table for a frenaissance in a future episode. Stay tuned.
DEGRASSI scoop please. — Lindsey
The TV Addict: As we are wont to do anytime we get a plea for intel on what trials and tribulations those maniacal DEGRASSI writers plan on putting your favorite student body through when the hit Canadian export returns next Friday February 24th, we sent out a quick feeler to our source on the set. Their response, “Expect a life-changing accident!” Read into that what you will. [Read more…]
