With television talent both in front and behind the camera making a habit of tweeting photos ranging from spoilerific to hilarious, theTVaddict.com thought it might be fun to introduce a new feature to the site that we’ve not-so-cleverly decided to call “Photo of the Day.” Today’s subject, courtesy of NBC’s official 30 ROCK twitter feed (@nbc30rock) comes a date fans of the lovelorn Elizabeth Miervaldis Lemon will most definitely want to mark on their calendar.

Bazinga! THE BIG BANG THEORY Surprises Their Studio Audience with a Flash Mob
Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things That Make Us Go “Hmmmm…”
NBC’s new slogan
First it was “Must See TV,” then it was “Comedy Done Right,” and now it’s, well, we’re not exactly sure what it is. Or at least that was our initial reaction upon checking out NBC.com earlier in the week and seeing their new slogan (Pictured above). No really. If anyone can explain to us what exactly “We NBC Comedy” means, we’re all ears.
Super-sized Casts
Fun Fact: When it comes to television, less really is oftentimes more. Which is why we not only find ourselves scratching our head over the ever-expanding number of cast members shows seem to be featuring as of late, but the manner in which the aforementioned cast members are used as well. Which is to say, super-sized casts not only plague the likes of ensemble-heavy shows such as ONCE UPON A TIME and REVENGE — affording fans less and less time to enjoy the core group of actors they’ve come to know and love — but comedies like THE MINDY PROJECT as well. Seriously. Is there not a bigger crime against acting talent right now than that show’s massive misuse of the hilarious and talented Anna Camp. In the parlance of her recent smash film Pitch Perfect, it’s Un-ACA-Ceptable! [Read more…]

LAST RESORT Preview: Daniel Lissing Talks Up Tonight’s Explosive New Episode “Nuke It Out”
The new ABC drama series LAST RESORT does not shy away from launching nuclear missiles, which it amply demonstrated in its pilot episode. To ramp up the uncertainty about who has control of those remaining missiles, last week’s episode revealed a traitor in the USS Colorado’s midst when Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) discovered someone had stolen his launch key. So this week’s new episode entitled “Nuke It Out” brings back the reality of how unstable the volatile situation is when the military crew becomes their own worst enemy. It is a race to determine: who stole the launch key and what for? Who exactly now controls the remaining nukes aboard the Colorado? And what lengths will each of them go to keep the situation from becoming explosive?
In an exclusive interview, co-star Daniel Lissing, who plays U.S. Navy SEAL James King, talked about the bristling tension between James and Grace (Daisy Betts) and what is going through James’ mind now that he finds himself caught up in the global events sparked by the SEALS’ covert mission in Pakistan.
