By 19 Comments

That noise you just heard was the squee of three million or so SUPERNATURAL fangirls learning that their favorite Winchester brothers, alongside GOSSIP GIRL, ONE TREE HILL, 90210, AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL and SMALLVILLE have all been given early renewals for next season by The CW.

A TV Addict How-To: Be a Hugely Successful Television Reporter

By 9 Comments

If yesterday’s “GREY’S ANATOMY Shocker” courtesy of EW’s super-scooper Michael Ausiello taught this TV Addict anything, it’s that on a slow news day, there is apparently nothing wrong with just making stuff up.

Which is why, as a public service to anyone looking to be the next Michael Ausiello, Kristin Dos Santos, Korbi Gosh and/or Matt (really, what happened to the Webb?) Mitovich, we at theTVaddict.com thought now would be as good a time as any to fill you all in on how it works.

Step #1: Find a logline (that’s industry speak for an episode description) for an upcoming episode of your favorite show. Preferably one with a passionate and vocal internet fan base such as SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE and/or GREY’S ANATOMY.

Step #2: Parse out a sentence, phrase or detail from the episode description that will be sure to send fans in a tizzy. No need to bother with silly things such as context or you know, what actually happens in the story-line.

Step #3: Write it up, press ‘post’ and watch your competition embarrassingly scramble to put together their own version of the exact same non-story. (see here and here).

Yup, it’s that easy! Don’t believe us? Check out our Exclusive! Breaking! TV Scoop that you simply have to see with your own eyes to believe… after the jump: [Read more…]

Tonight’s TV Addictions: February 15, 2009

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
THE SIMPSONS (8PM FOX, GlobalTV in Canada)
Could Homer’s entire life have been different if he had been elected the president of his high school senior class? (I hear John McCain was recently pondering that very same question about his own life!)

FAMILY GUY (9PM FOX, GlobalTV in Canada)
Desperately in love with Joe and Bonnie’s new baby, Stewie struggles to write a love song. ‘Cause you know, crap like “I Just Called To Say I Love You” doesn’t just write itself!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
Things I don’t care about that are involved in tonight’s episode: Susan and Mike’s relationship (which lost me when they had one second of happiness and then fell apart off screen thanks to the time-warp); the Scavo’s pizza joint (Please, God, get Lynette back into the world of advertising!); Gaby blackmailing Carlos’ boss (Has her character grown one iota over the years? No. They occasionally show us two seconds worth of growth, then next week, she’s back to her usual obnoxious self). Things I might care about: Tensions rise between Bree, Andrew and Orson (I like that family, even when they’re in boring plots). And here’s something a character and I have in common: Dave is kinda fed up with everyone int he neighborhood being suspicious of him. Me too, Dave. Do something nasty, get killed and let’s be done with this!

AMERICAN DAD (9:30PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Holy cow, Roger has two families! And has for years! You know, I don’t actually care for this show. But then again, I spent years not liking FAMILY GUY, ONE TREE HILL and SUPERNATURAL, all of which are favorites now, so maybe it’s time to give it a second look.

BIG LOVE (9PM HBO, 10PM TMN in Canada)
Things get even more crowded for Bill and his wives thanks to an unexpected arrival, and Roman makes plans for a big comeback.

BROTHERS & SISTERS (10PM ABC, Global in Canada)
Rebecca sets out to find her dad, and it may be just as well she’s out of town, because Tommy is stepping up his plan to oust Holly. Something tells me there will be alcohol consumed at some point.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
UGLY BETTY (8PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)
Daniel’s got something to hide, and Betty is caught up in family matters. In other words, just another day in her world. On the plus side, that cute neighbor of Betty’s seems to be taking a renewed interested in her, so maybe things are looking up.

THE OFFICE (9PM NBC, Global in Canada)
Ugh. Michael goes on yet another road trip. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Pam is along for the ride this time instead of Dwight. But I’m not 100% convinced even she can make Michael more palatable at this point.

SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW)
A sexy siren (is there any other kind?) lures three men to their doom. And when the Winchester boys investigate, it’s brother-vs-brother thanks to the evil temptress!

GREY’S ANATOMY (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
Having apparently not learned a thing from every other doctor or intern at Seattle Grace, Lexie demands that she and Mark make their relationship public. Meanwhile, having not learned a thing from his girlfriend’s nearly psychotic narcissistic whining, Derek tries figuring out just the right way to propose. (Dude, trust us: No matter what you do, she’ll kevetch about it later.)

30 ROCK (9:30PM NBC, CityTV in Canada)
Can the unlucky-in-love Liz Lemon finally get her act together and impress her sexy new neighbor (special guest Jon Hamm)? Yeah, wouldn’t bet on it.

PRIVATE PRACTICE (10PM NBC, “A” in Canada)
Crossover alert! When Addison’s brother has a seizure, she calls in ex-hubby Derek (of GREY’S ANATOMY) for a consult. Translation: This show is in trouble, and they need to lure in viewers any way they can. Ha! You can’t fool us, sly ABC executives!

An Open Letter to the Winchester Brothers

supernatural
By: The REEL Addict

Dear Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki,

As you two know, I’m a great admirer of your show SUPERNATURAL, and the consistent acting talent you display on it. With the emotional and dramatic range you guys bring to each and every episode, you’ve helped turned a show that could have potentially been little more than shallow, gimmicky horror-movie-a-week-fest into something richer. You’ve ensured that SUPERNATURAL is not a series about the supernatural so much as the people fighting the supernatural. People who are dramatic, and complex, and whom you bring to emotional life with your performances.

You prove yourselves to be nothing less than great actors, ones who deserve a successful, rewarding career beyond the boob tube and on the big screen.

Which brings us to the problem at hand.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
PRIVATE PRACTICE (10:02PM ABC)
Now that SWINGTOWN is officially dead (as opposed to all those months when it was unofficial dead), Grant Show is free to join the cast as Addison’s brother, Archer.

SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
Think hell is tough? That’s nothing compared to high school, as Sam and Dean find out while investigating a series of murders at their alma mater. How can you not love an episode titled “After School Special?”

NEW & NOTABLE:
UGLY BETTY (8PM ABC, CityTV in Canada)
Endless reruns like this. Extended hiatus. Yeah, ABC isn’t trying too hard to kill off Betty and company.

SMALLVILLE (8PM CW)
Ever wonder how the economic recession is impacting LutherCorp? I mean, they have a heck of a lot of ”secret facilities”, all of which have to be major cash drains, right? Anyway, tonight, Tess breaks into one such facility and makes a shocking discovery while Clarke learns Lex is still be alive… and may be holding Lana captive. He also gets a bit of insight into Lana’s post-coma life.

AMERICAN IDOL (8PM FOX, CTV in Canada)
The bad news: Still more auditions. The good news: After this, it’s on to Hollywood week!

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
GREY’S ANATOMY (9PM ABC, CTV in Canada)
As her young patient’s condition worsens, Bailey seeks desperately for an organ donor. While the rest of us yell at our TV screens… “Hey Bailey, there’s a guy on death row right down the hall!”

THE OFFICE (9PM NBC, Global in Canada)
The Dunder Mifflin denizens engage in a debate over the beauty of actress Hilary Swank. Begging the question, which side do you fall on: Hot or Not?

SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW, CityTV in Canada)
As if we’re not about to tune into an episode titled “Criss Angel is a Douche Bag”

NEW & NOTABLE:
CSI (9PM CBS, 8PM CTV in Canada)
Change we’re not sure we believe in. It’s Laurence Fishburne’s first official day as a CSI.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH’S FINAL PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS (8PM CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, NBC)
After requesting 15 minutes to address the nation for the final time, President Bush can now add messing up our “Thursday Night TV Schedule” to his illustrious legacy that include sinking America’s reputation both at home and abroad, the handling of Katrina and the economy. Below, be sure to take note of the irregular start times to some of your favorite shows like CSI (8:15 and 9:15PM).

SMALLVILLE (8PM CW)
No stinkin’ presidential address is gonna get in the way of Clark Kent starting on time! Not when Chloe’s been kidnapped and a trio known as The Legion are on hand to help!

MY NAME IS EARL (8:30PM NBC)
Joy and a reality show? Seems like a match made in heaven, huh?

SUPERNATURAL (9PM CW)
If you’ve been jonesing for a break from the mythology-heavy outings on tap of late, this could be your night as the show offers up a good, old-fashioned haunted house story that gets complicated when a family moves in.

THE OFFICE (9PM NBC)
Andy finally learns the truth about Dwight and Angela. One guess as to who spills the beans.

CSI (9:15PM NBC)
You can bet your butt there are some execs at CBS who are ticked as hell that President Bush has the nerve to screw up tonight’s other big exit… that of Grissom.
