THE GOOD WIFE! BIG LOVE! HIMYM! GLEE! Our TV Addict Week in Rewind
Biggest Headscratcher: Between COMMUNITY’s love affair with COUGAR TOWN, THE OFFICE’s shout-out to DALLAS, PARKS AND RECREATIONS’ nod to NCIS: LOS ANGELES and 30 ROCK’s myriad of pop culture zingers touching on RIZZOLI & ISLES, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, AMAZING RACE, ROSWELL and ENTOURAGE, one can’t help but wonder how the fledgling fourth place Peacock Network might be doing ratings-wise if their own shows paid half as much attention to NBC’s roster as they do others!
Loudest Fan Outcry: Viewers of GENERAL HOSPITAL were so upset about the soap turning four-year-old Jake into road kill that their response garnered attention from such media outlets as The New York Post.
And the Award For Best Ending We Didn’t See Coming But Probably Should Have Goes to…: BIG LOVE, which just about made up for two seasons of disappointment with a finale that gave us the BIG ending we were hoping for. God only knows what we’ll be without you indeed.
Faux Campaign We Can Really Get Behind: All we can say to Ellen DeGeneres’ plea that networks stop airing two-hour episodes of reality shows is… Amen!
Best For Your Consideration Emmy Reel: Following Monday’s fantastic father-son reunion between Barney and his bio-dad on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, is anyone else up for forgoing all of that silly campaigning by just awarding Neil Patrick Harris and John Lithgow their Emmys now?
FRINGE Renewed For a Fourth Season
Score one for our universe! Fox has officially confirmed executive producer J.H. Wyman’s tweet from earlier in the night that had him “letting it slip” that FRINGE has been renewed for a fourth season. “Fringe was picked up!!!! Thanks Fringedom!”
What’s more FRINGE hasn’t just been picked up for a fourth season, it has been picked up for a full 22 episode fourth season. Which means, it’s a good great day to be a fan of quality scripted television. Unless of course you were a fan of LIGHTS OUT. What… too soon?

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for SMALLVILLE, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, BONES, NIKITA, 90210 & More!
Any word on how NO ORDINARY FAMILY plans to end its season (and possibly series)? — Brandon
The TV Addict: With the return of a big baddie! Yes, LOST’s Rebecca Mader will be reprising her role as the villainous Victoria Morrow on the upcoming April 5th finale that will have the Powells working together to save J.J. who’s been kidnapped by Mrs. X (Lucy Lawless) and forced to solve an enigma that could lead to the permanence of the trilsettum’s effects.
Is there any light at the end of the tunnel for this long-suffering Booth/Brennan shipper? — Amanda
The TV Addict: There might be, depending of course on your interpretation of the following: In a roundabout way, we recently had the chance to ask the man who pulls the strings, executive producer Hart Hanson that very question and here’s what he had to say when asked in terms of character development, if it would be safe to characterize May’s finale of BONES as the show’s biggest one to date, Said Hanson, “Hahahaha, that is a very sneaky question from the TV Addict but I’m going go ahead and say yes.”
Care to share who Ivy is going to marry this season on 90210? — Jenn
The TV Addict: Umm… No. After-all, where’s the fun in this column if we can’t lord our vast array of television secrets over you? That said, what we will say, is that the gang will be getting plenty of use out of their wedding attire (read: dark suits) seeing as though the season’s penultimate episode will also have them attending a funeral.
Got anything for a WHITE COLLAR fan who is already going through post-finale withdrawal? — Ainsley
The TV Addict: When WHITE COLLAR returns this June, fans will finally get a peek into the private life of Detective Diana Barrigan when Neal meets Diana’s partner, Christie. What’s more, the episode will feature Diana as she goes undercover to protect a powerful newswoman who is about to break a deadly secret that may take down a major corporation. Which, if you ask us, is a nice change of pace from the usual episode of WHITE COLLAR where women are often overlooked and underestimated in lieu of Peter and Neal.
America’s Racial Divide: Tackling the Taboo on THE GOOD WIFE
In an episode which left everyone talking about Kalinda’s big secret, I was more struck by the other “white elephant” in the room – specifically, how delicately, yet pointedly THE GOOD WIFE addressed an obsolete social taboo when Peter Florrick’s campaign manager, Eli Gold, tried to hide the fact that a political candidate’s son was dating a black girl. Sex may still trump the race card, but really, racial tensions and how they are inserted into political campaigning was skewered thoroughly in an episode innocuously entitled “Ham Sandwich.”
It was fascinating to see that Peter’s campaign that was originally founded on the black vote and his alliance with Pastor Isaiah, which had been so very carefully cultivated, ultimately came to be seen as a handicap in the final days of his campaign. With the blue collar and suburban voters looking to sit the election out, it became crucial to remove any overt association with the black constituents from Peter’s campaign. Even Grace noticed her father had distanced himself from Pastor Isaiah and had removed any non-white faces from the photos on his campaign website. It became even more glaring when Eli made a point of asking Alicia to keep Zach away from the press during his father’s speech at his school – not to protect Zach, but because Eli was worried that the press would notice Zach’s girlfriend Neesa and try to spotlight the interracial couple.
