Sunday Bloody Sunday! Has the Depiction of Violence Towards Children in Television Crossed the Line?

November 30, 2011 By Tiffany Vogt 1 Comment

It is kind of the dirty little secret of television that it is okay to show images that would be normally repugnant and unacceptable otherwise — simply because it is not real.  Photos and images that would normally be banned as too graphic are allowed under the guise that it is okay because they are not showing something that actually occurred.
 
But as some of this year’s television shows have stretched the boundaries of what we will tolerate, a question has arisen as to: where do we draw the line? Television shows like THE KILLING, AMERICAN HORROR STORY and THE WALKING DEAD are challenging our sense of morality and ethics of what should be allowed to be shown in the television format.  [Read more…]

November 24, 2011 By Tiffany Vogt 7 Comments

While Thanksgiving is an American holiday and perhaps not celebrated globally, this seemed like an opportune time to give a warm shout-out to 10 television shows for which I am thankful this year. 
 
One caveat, with the Year End 2011 Top 10 lists about to be unleashed from every corner of the TV blog-o-sphere which will trumpet and laud TV shows that are proclaimed to be the best-of-the-best, these are just a some of shows that consistently bring a smile to my face and make me glad that they created these glorious fictional worlds for us to enjoy.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Holiday Gift Ideas for the TV Addict in Your Life

November 21, 2011 By theTVaddict Leave a Comment

With Black Friday just around the corner, we here at theTVaddict.com thought now might be as good a time as any to offer a handful of ideas for that very special TV Addict in your life.

Slingbox
There is a very good reason why the Slingbox continues to find its way to the top of our annual Holiday Gift Guide year after year. Simply put, short of our iPhone, it’s hands down the coolest gadget we’ve ever owned. Seriously. Years later we still marvel at the fact that a little black box plugged directly into our cable box gives us the ability to watch TV anywhere there is an internet connection. Laptop, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Blackberry or Windows 7 Device, your entire PVR/DVR is only click away. [On sale for $179.99 $156.95 on Amazon]

Books
For those of you who naturally assumed that the printed word would be the sworn enemy of a guy addicted to the spoken small screen one, well… think again. In fact, the only thing we relish more than watching hours upon hours of sometimes duplicitous, sometimes funny and almost always beautiful characters play doctor/zombie/politician/dad/cop/secret agent… well you get the idea, is a book chronicling all the backstabbing and egomaniacal players that helped turn those very shows into a success. Favorites include TV Tomes such as Bill Carter’s look at “The Late Night Wars,” Susanne Daniel’s first person account of “The Unexpected Rise & Fall of the WB and UPN” and John Ortved’s Uncensored, Unauthorized History of THE SIMPSONS.
