BIG BROTHER! THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL! BREAKING BAD! BOSS! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Best Line: Forget the Zingbot! BIG BROTHER’s Britney scored the best dis when she said of mop-topped Frank, “He wears his hair like that in public. Clearly, he has no shame.”
Weirdest Coincidence: Life proved to be, if not stranger than, certainly on par with fiction when a man named Walter White — just like the BREAKING BAD character — was wanted on meth charges.
Least Sucky Change: Only days after her TRUE BLOOD alter ego was spiked, Tina Majorino was revealed to be the newest GREY’S ANATOMY cast member.
Most Shocking Development, Daytime Division: Fans of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL were stunned to learn that original cast member Ronn Moss would be leaving the soap after 25 years. Even more shocking? That the show was looking to recast his iconic role of Ridge Forrester!
Fakest Surprise: Although ads made it seem as if Roseanne Barr was caught off guard by the appearance of ex-hubby Tom Arnold at her roast, the New York Post reported that he only appeared after getting assurances from the roastee that she would not make fun of him during the proceedings.

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for FALLING SKIES, HART OF DIXIE, DEXTER, NIKITA, PARENTHOOD, ARROW & More!
FALLING SKIES second season finale is this Sunday. Any idea how it ends? — Jason
The TV Addict: Boy do we ever! Unfortunately, to reveal the seriously cool scene on which the spectacular second season ends would probably not be in our best interest of a website proprietor who very much welcomes TNT’s penchant for dropping off screeners at our door! Thus, we’ll simply say this: Not only will FALLING SKIES cliffhanger of an ending leave fans bug-eyed by offering up a sequence of events that they’ve yet to see before, it sets up what sure as heck looks like a very interesting third season.
Despite the fact that the word “BlueBell” covers up far too much of Wilson Bethel for my liking, let me be the first to say how much I enjoyed your recent self-made promo for HART OF DIXIE. Now that you’re good and buttered up, how about a little scoop? — Skylar
The TV Addict: Would you believe that there is a serious downside to living in a small town like Bluebell? As luck would have it, everybody knows everybody’s business. Case in point, we have it on fairly good authority that one of Blue’s most notable bell’s recently spent an afternoon perusing the aisles of the local grocery store for household essentials. You know, stuff like potatoes, plums and PREGNANCY tests. Oops… we may have already said too much!
The only thing more exciting than the recent report that has John Barrowman jumping on board The CW’s ARROW would be if you could shed some light on the character he’s playing. Spill! — Jamie
The TV Addict: Since we don’t actually know who the artist formerly known as Captain Jack Harkness will be playing, we hope some irresponsible speculation will suffice. Speculation that involves a recent casting notice that found its way into our inbox for ARROW’s fifth episode of the season that has the production searching for a thirty to forty year old male named Edward who is described as the clean-shaven soldier and leader of a unit that captures Oliver. Think Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds. [Read more…]
ARROW Gets the SMALLVILLE Treatment: Who Didn’t Wear it Better?!
Hot on the heels of The CW releasing a trifecta of posters touting their new fall offerings, this TV Addict — who as regular readers can attest to has an inexplicable need to highlight Hollywood’s penchant for making us see double — finds ourselves with little choice but to ask the Fall’s first slightly awkward albeit painfully obvious question: Who didn’t wear it better in their respective series premiere posters, SMALLVILLE’s Tom Welling or ARROW’s Stephen Amell? [Read more…]
Promopalooza: ARROW, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and EMILY OWENS M.D. Get The CW’s Splasy Promotional Push
If for no other reasons than we’d hate to be the only television related website in existence to not whet your appetite for The CW’s upcoming slate of new shows, we’ve handily posted some luscious first look posters for you after the jump. Enjoy. [Read more…]
