Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Ways In Which THE KILLING Redeemed Itself
Let’s face it: Since not telling us the identity of Rosie’s murderer in the season-one finale, THE KILLING has become one of those shows with which even people who defended the non-reveal (including me) developed a wary relationship. This season was uneven at best… or at least felt that was as it was unfolding. But after last night’s surprisingly effective episode, I’m willing to admit that the destination proved worthy of the somewhat bumpy journey. Here’s why: [Read more…]

GAME OF THRONES! DALLAS! WEEDS! SCANDAL! ONCE UPON A TIME! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Irony Alert!: In one of the most unintentionally hilarious interviews ever, Mike Fleiss — creator and executive producer of THE BACHELOR — told Canada’s Calgary Herald that when it comes to reality TV, “most of the shows are fake.” He added that the moment when Jason Mesnick broke Melissa Rycroft’s heart by dumping her for runner-up Molly Malaney was “the stuff that really makes my life worth living.” Bet Melissa feels the exact same way. Stay classy!
Most Overdue Bump: We’ll be seeing (a lot more) Red next season now that ONCE UPON A TIME has made Meghan Ory’s Ruby (aka Little Red Riding Hood) a series regular.
Worst Trend: Following in the footsteps of BRAVO’s HOUSEWIVES franchise, TLC — which renewed the embarrassing mess MY BIG FAT AMERICAN GYPSY WEDDING — is talking about spinning the show off.
Silliest Controversy: To save money, the folks at GAME OF THRONES used a fake George Bush head (among many others) and, when they pointed it out on the DVD commentary, wound up having to apologize. Next time you’re wondering why a DVD commentary is boring, thank people who like to make mountains out of molehills.
Best Return: Nearly 7 million people caught the debut of DALLAS, proving that when it comes to Southfork, a whole lot of us wanted to go home again.
Most Likely To Change Our Mind: Honestly, news that Jerry O’Connell would be playing Herman Munster damn near killed our interest in MOCKINGBIRD LANE… until word came down that Portia de Rossi will be his Lily!
Duh: Can anyone be surprised that REVENGE’s Margarita Levieva’s will return as Amanda given that last season’s cliffhanger found her playing the ultimate spoiler to a Jack/Emily lovefest? [Read more…]
