5 Things You Didn't Know About BROTHERS & SISTERS Star Gilles Marini
He moved to America with $400 dollars in his pocket. Just how badly did Gilles Marini want to make it to America, the country that he calls “the big dream,” and represents “the sky is the limit.” He picked up and left his native France speaking not a word of english, and with a mere $400 in his pocket. “As soon as I got to America a lot of people really helped me out and trusted me,” explained the actor on a recent one-on-one with the TV Addict. “People I will always remember, people who will always have a place in my heart. ” His revealing role in SEX AND THE CITY was not his first big gig. Although best known as the casanova in the beach house next door to Samantha in the SEX AND THE CITY movie, Marini actually found his way onto Hollywood’s radar with small parts... More »
Today's TV Addict Top 5: Things You Can Do Tonight That Don't Involve Braving a Horde of Teenager Girls at a Movie Theater
Catch up with Thursday night TV. After-all, if last night’s disappointing ratings for FRINGE, COMMUNITY and PARKS AND RECREATION are any indication, many of you were otherwise occupied. Seriously, what is up with that? Watch UGLY BETTY. A show which not only has enjoyed a creative resurgence this season thanks to some interesting story-lines for the always awesome Ana Ortiz, Michael Urie and Vanessa Williams. But thanks to the time-slot that viewers forgot, now finds itself on the verge of cancellation. [Update] Thanks to frequent contributor John who responded, “I WOULD watch UGLY BETTY, but it’s preempted tonight for Shrek the Third . Instead, how about MONK, WHITE COLLAR, SMALLVILLE, LAW AND ORDER and MEDIUM.” Pick up a book. You know, those paper things that gave Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner a career. Enjoy the company of actual real-life people. Remember them? They’re just like the people you... More »

Good News: NBC has announced that CHUCK will return on January 10th with two back-to-back episodes before moving to its regular Monday at 8PM time-slot on January 11th.

FRINGE FUN! Just How Good of an OBSERVER Are You?
On tonight’s fantastic installment of FRINGE , a young woman’s abduction will set off a chain of events that will change everything. And at the center of said abduction is everybody’s favorite follicular challenged anti-hero: The Observer. Actually, make that Observers . Yes, tonight’s episode entitled “August” is the tale FRINGE fanatics have been clamouring for, as executive producers/writers J.H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner finally peel back the curtain on this mysterious group of men, who as it would turn out, do a helluva lot more simply observe. What exactly do they do (or why they do it), well, we’re not quite at liberty to share those details. But what we can do is help prepare you for tonight’s episode by offering up a little challenge guaranteed to hone your observational skills. In the above line-up, you may-or-may-not observe that five Observers do not exactly belong. Post away with your... More »
Candid Cory Monteith: The GLEE Star Talks about the Future of Finn, the Perils of Fame and the Wild Ride that Comes with Starring on a Hit Show
Cory Monteith and the TV Addict, 11.18.09 Toronto It may surprise you to learn that GLEE star Cory Monteith and the TV Addict go way back. Before he became everyone’s favorite singing jock, Monteith and his fellow GLEE clubbers were hangin’ with me on the set of what would soon become the most buzzed about show in recent memory, asking what I and several other reporters thought of their little “we’re singin’ and dancin’ and we’re not gonna be the next COP ROCK” show. Okay, frankly, none of them are old enough to remember COP ROCK. But I digress. During that meeting back in March , the cast wanted to know if we, the TV journalists with our fingers on the pulse of the pop-culture beat, thought this show would connect with a large enough audience to prevent it from tap dancing to an early grave. They seemed genuinely concerned... More »
Tonight's TV Addict Must Watch: MODERN FAMILY
Move over Bluths, the Dunphy-Pritchett family is in the house. And with tonight’s hilarious seventh episode, the hit ABC sitcom MODERN FAMILY (9PM ABC and CityTV in Canada) inches that much closer to solidifying its status as the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT heir apparent. Thanks in no small part to tonight’s introduction of the most inappropriate (albeit funny) family crush since George-Michael and Maeby Bluth. And the arrival of two giant movie stars — Edward Norton and Elizabeth Banks — who in the grand tradition of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT agree to tackle a few less than flattering roles. With Norton playing an aging rock-star has-been hired by Claire to surprise Phil and Banks dropping by as Cameron and Mitchell’s party-going friend Sal. (Cameron on Bank’s Sal, “Hanging out with her is like an Amsterdam Saturday night every day of the week.” Adds Mitchell, “Ironically Sal is not allowed back in Amsterdam.” Chimes in... More »

In Defense of Last Night's HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
In his critique of Monday night’s HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER , Time Magazine’s James Poniewozik took the writers to task for delivering a Barney-centric episode that has “decided to simply wipe out a major character arc [Barney and Robin's relationship] and grant itself a do-over.” Our take: We’re okay with that. For unlike many critics — who earlier today took to the internets to express their disdain for last night’s tour-de-force/Emmy winning performance by one Neil Patrick Harris that had Barney opening up his “playbook” by revealing the many scams, flim-flams and bamboozles that he has employs to lie, cheat, and steal his way into a women’s heart (for one night only) — we loved every minute of it. Sure, in theory Barney and Robin as a couple was a nice idea. But if Homer Simpson taught us anything, it’s that in theory , communism worked. In reality, said... More »
