Guaranteed to Be the Best 2 Minutes of Your Day: COMMUNITY Returns Trailer
THE MIDDLE! SURVIVOR! GENERAL HOSPITAL! DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Best Reason For Soap Fans To Not Give Up Hope: Not only were GENERAL HOSPITAL’s ratings up under new headwriter Ron Carlivati, but sources told TV Guide that Katie Couric was hoping THE REVOLUTION would get axed rather than the sudser. Why? Hey, the lady ain’t dumb: Fans of the canceled ONE LIFE TO LIVE boycotted its replacement… and she’d like very much to avoid that same fate!
Evidence Most Likely To Become A DVD Extra: To refute Nicollette Sheridan’s charge that her character’s demise was written out of spite, defendant Marc Cherry’s lawyers showed jurors a video titled “Deaths On Wisteria Lane” that featured each of the Grim Reaper’s visits to DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. And speaking of the most interesting thing to happen to DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES in seven seasons…
Biggest Headscratcher: Was it really integral to ABC’s defense to SPOIL the only interesting plot point to come out of Wisteria Lane in years?
Least Likely Conversation Starter: Who knew that THE WALKING DEAD — a show about zombies — would offer this country’s smartest debate on the death penalty? [Read more…]

First Look: MAD MEN Season 5
While an interminable sixteen month wait between the fourth and fifth seasons of MAD MEN may not have been kind to the show’s millions of loyal fans, time sure as heck has been to the looking-better-with-age employees of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Or at least that was our initial impression after perusing a handful of just release spoiler-free publicity photos courtesy of AMC. But hey, don’t take our word for it, see for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

Paley Festival 2012 Live Blog: BONES
7:51PM: Even after all these years, the cast of BONES — including David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, Executive Producer Stephen Nathan and Creator Hart Hanson — seem genuinely enthusiastic to be celebrating their series at PaleyFest 2012.
7:52PM: Moderator Michael Ausiello kicks off the panel by congratulating Deschanel on the birth of her real-life bundle of joy Henry. “I love it, I don’t get a lot of sleep, but I love it,” says Deschanel, before spiralling into a highly entertaining story that some might consider ‘Too Much Information’ involving the actress revealing the differences between giving birth in real-life versus on the show (Think: Uncomfortable screaming!)
7:55PM: Spoiler Alert! Not only does Brennan give birth in a very unconventional Brennan-esque environment, Booth plays an incredibly integral role in the delivery. Cue hilarious back-and-forth between the cast as Deschanel recounts getting peed on by the baby they were using to film the scene, “I remember thinking that I’ve been peed on by two different babies on the same day,” says Deschanel referring to her baby on TV and real-life baby Henry. Jokes Hanson, “Henry’s her baby, not her husband!” Chimes in T.J. Thyne with the first of what would turn out to be many hilarious, albeit slightly inappropriate one-liners, “Her husband is R. Kelly!” [Read more…]

CASTLE First Look: 47 Seconds
In the world of television, an awful lot can change in the span of a 47 seconds. Romances can ignite, lives can end or bombs can go off!

More first look photos of which can be seen after the jump. [Read more…]
Ask the Addict: Spoilers for THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, NEW GIRL, HART OF DIXIE & More!
Waiting for new episodes suck. Especially when it comes to THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Is there any possibility that you’ve got some killer scoop to tied me over? — Francesca
The TV Addict: In keeping with your request for killer scoop, fans should brace themselves for a face-to-face with two characters who have been long gone, albeit not so much forgotten. Which is to say, Producers are currently casting for the biological parents of Jeremy Gilbert, Miranda and Grayson, for what we have a feeling will be a fairly pivotal flashback. On, and on the off chance that’s not enough to whet your appetite, the CW Network just released this very interesting description of the Thursday March 29th episode that goes a little something like so: Entitled “The Murder of One” — Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) focus a new project that will bring them closer to destroying Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and they quickly bring Elena (Nina Dobrev), Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) in on the plan. After Klaus threatens someone close to Bonnie (Kat Graham), she has no choice but to work on the spell he needs. Meanwhile, Klaus and Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt) find the perfect motivator to convince Finn (guest star Caspar Zafer) to cooperate with them, but Rebekah is more interested in her own brutal plan to take revenge on Damon. Stefan’s emotional turmoil leads him to a dangerous confrontation with Klaus and, later, to a heartbreaking moment with Elena. [Read more…]
