Heroes are carefully crafted from the brutal sands of time, and in the CW series ARROW, Oliver Queen was forged by five harsh years trying to survive on an island hunted and tormented by oppressors at every turn. It steeled his resolve to return home and eradicate the evil festering in his home city so that those he loved would be free of such fear and domination. Fortunately for Oliver, he has a few key friends and family watching his back along the way. At last month’s WB Mondo International Press Tour, one such friend, actor Colin Donnell — who plays Oliver’s friend-turned-business-partner Tommy Merlyn — shared insights into his characters increasingly complex relationships, a few teasers about what’s upcoming on ARROW, and what TV Shows he’s addicted to on DVD.

We Irresponsibly Speculate on the Identity of TERRA NOVA’s Mole
If you follow us on Twitter, odds are fairly certain that you already know our feelings with regards last night’s fantastic episode of TERRA NOVA. What you may not know is that in response to last night’s tweet that went a little something like so — “Super solid episode of #TerraNova, although it would be nice if poor Allison Miller was given something, heck anything, to do.” — actress Allison Miller took it upon herself to respond, “@theTVaddict thanks – stick around for the next few 😉 ” And since it’s not exactly everyday that an actor goes out of their way to respond one of our 140 character gems, it suddenly dawned on us: Miller’s Skye is totally the TERRA NOVA mole that Commander Taylor has been so desperately searching for! But hey, don’t take our word for it, check out the irrefutable evidence we’ve compiled in our case against Skye, after the jump. [Read more…]
Meet Kurt’s Worst Nightmare in Our Exclusive Interview with GLEE’s Grant Gustin
Everybody knows that the course of true love never runs smooth. But the path is particularly bumpy when you’re a gay teen living in — of all places — Ohio and your boyfriend is as hot as he is talented. If all of that drama happens to unfolding at McKinley High School, home of the most romantically schizophrenic teens since a certain gossipy girl began charting every move made by her Upper East Side pals, you are clearly a character on the hit Fox series GLEE. And if your name is Kurt and you’ve spent the past few weeks snuggling up to a sexy singer named Blaine, it also means that it’s time for what we in the biz call a spoiler. Enter beautiful bad boy Sebastian, played by Grant Gustin, who is about to throw a major monkey wrench into Kurt’s romantic life. Want to know more about the guy you’ll soon be loving to hate? Read on, after the jump. [Read more…]
The ABC’s of Summer TV
A IS FOR AMC, which just announced that BREAKING BAD will finally return for its much-anticipated fourth season this July 17th at 10PM.
B IS FOR THE BOYS [AND GIRLS] OF ROOKIE BLUE, Canada’s biggest small screen success story from last summer returns for a second action-packed season this June 23rd on ABC (Global TV in Canada)
C IS FOR CABLE, once the home to movies you already saw in theaters four years ago has now officially been crowned the savior of summer. ABC Family, BBC America, FX, Lifetime, TNT, TV LAND and USA, we salute you.
D IS FOR DEPRESSED, not just as a result of the hiatus many of our favorite shows are on this summer, but also for our inability to subscribe to DirecTV which will unspool DAMAGES fourth season starting this July 13th at 9PM on their “Channel 101.”
F IS FOR FALLING SKIES, TNT’s enthralling and surprisingly addictive — at least based on the first six episode we’ve had the chance to screen — new science fiction offering from Steven Spielberg that chronicles the aftermath of a War of the Worlds-style alien invasion. Simply put, it’s what V should have been.
G IS FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS, which, we sure as heck hope will live up to their billing this summer. Seriously, have you see the CW’s schedule?
Your TV Tech Fix: Why Are You Still Using Your Cable Company’s DVR?
While common US vernacular would have you believe otherwise, the fact of the matter is that most cable subscribers use a generic DVR (or PVR in Canada) provided by their cable company. TiVo, the stand-alone boxes that pioneered the time-shifting category make up a small relatively small fraction of the installed DVR base today.
How can it be that pretty much everyone agrees TiVo DVRs are significantly better (are easier to use, offer more innovative features, give you more spacious hard drives, and even now integrate with things like HP MediaSmart Servers for expansion), yet STILL opt for the craptastic box from the cable company?
Let’s find out what’s holding everyone back, shall we?
TV Addict Interview: LIPSTICK JUNGLE Star Robert Buckley
By: Amrie Cunningham [My Take on TV]
Fans of NBC’s LIPSTICK JUNGLE have completely fallen for Robert Buckley, aka Kirby Atwood, aka Nico’s hotter-than-hot man-on-the-side. He has charm, charisma, and isn’t hard to look at! In celebration of Lipstick Jungle’s first season finale, I spent some time chatting with Rob about the show, where he wants to see his character go, and the real reason he was upset that the writers went on strike.
I want to just start by saying that I have completely gotten hooked on the show in recent weeks, and I really like your character.
Robert Buckley: Oh thank you! It’s funny. I told everyone, all my friends who started watching it, stick with the show because it really picks up momentum. I think we’re seeing it now, a lot more people are tuning in and getting wrapped up in the storyline.
They’ve really started to flesh out the characters and you learn more about the characters that have been on the screen. I’m excited at the prospect of more episodes to come.
Hopefully so, we have the season finale, and we’ll know shortly if we’re coming back for a season 2.
