Last week, we shared the first in a series of TV secrets. This week, it’s your turn. Thanks to Samantha for being our first reader to get one helluva big secret off her chest.

“It’s rather embarrassing to mention it to my friends, but I’m 21 and enjoy watching Disney TV shows, especially SONNY WITH A CHANCE. Worse still, while watching the show I often wonder what my life would have been life if my parents sold me to Disney and capitalized on my hidden talents!”

Got a TV secret of your very own? Send a photo (optional!) of what you’re embarrassed to be watching to info [at] thetvaddict [dot] com along with a line or two as to why. Trust us, you’re not alone.

Just in time for the Olympic hangover to have completely worn off (Alex Bilodwho?) your very own TV Addict is heading to Vancouver. And while the timing might not be ideal, the reasons are.

For we have been given the fantastic opportunity to visit the sets of V and FRINGE. So if you’ve got a question for Elizabeth Mitchell (Erica Evans), Joel Gretsch (Father Jack), Scott Wolf (Chad Decker), Morena Baccarin (Anna), Morris Chestnut (Ryan Nichols), Lourdes Benedicto (Valerie), Laura Vandervoort (Lisa) and Logan Huffman (Tyler Evans) as well as the cast of FRINGE (Who will be there has yet to be confirmed), feel free to post them in the comments below.

Just what does FOX’s latest attempt at live-action comedy success have in common with a 200-million dollar 10-part HBO miniseries? Perhaps a little more than you might think! See for yourself after the jump.

SONS OF TUCSON THE PACIFIC
Premiere: Sunday March 14 at 9:30PM on FOX (Thursdays at 9:30PM on Global in Canada) Sunday March 14 at 9PM on HBO (HBO Canada in Canada)
Precursor: Produced by Justin Berfield (Reese) and directed by Todd Holland, FOX’s latest attempt at live-action comedy success wouldn’t have happened without the once-ground-breaking comedy hit MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE that ran on the network from 2000 – 2006. An epic 10-part miniseries that tells the lesser known tale of World War II from the Pacific perspective would not be here without the critically acclaimed Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS that came before it in 2001.
Budget: 2 million dollars per episode (approx.) 200 million dollars for the 10-part series.
Characters: Revolves around three young brothers Brandon (Matthew Levy), Gary (Frank Dolce) and Robby (Benjamin Stockham) who hire a twenty-something slacker named Ron Snufkin (Tyler Labine) to play “Dad” so that they aren’t split up and sent to Foster Care. Follows three young soldiers, Leckie (James Badge Dale), Sledge (Joe Mazello) and Basilone (Jon Seda) who, in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, are sent overseas to fight an elusive enemy they knew very little about throughout the equally mysterious islands of the Pacific.
Enemy: A loan shark named Tony. All of Japan.
Horrific happenings: An unspeakable event at Ron’s grandmother’s house prompts middle brother Gary to make a pact to, “never speak of it again.” Considering THE PACIFIC comes from the men who brought us BAND OF BROTHERS and Saving Private Ryan, you do the math.
Lessons learned: Three unsupervised brothers at a school fair + lighter fluid = a guaranteed trip to to the Principal’s office. You mean aside from appreciation and admiration for what “the Greatest Generation” did for us? Simply put, war is hell.
Grade: B- A

Inspired by Movieline and in anticipation of the soon-to-be-released Apple iPad that will more than likely signal the beginning of the end for traditional print media, this TV Addict thought it might be fun to start highlighting a look back on the week in television that was in nostalgic magazine form (And yes, we realize we may have a just little too much free time on our hands!)

This week on theTVaddict.com we asked ONE TREE HILL fans what is wrong with this picture, offered up a first look of Sacha Baron Cohn on THE SIMPSONS, unveiled our COUGAR TOWN challenge, teased the moment UGLY BETTY fans have waited four seasons for, reviewed HIGH SOCIETY, gave away SUPERNATURAL swag, and interviewed Zachary Levi, Lauren Graham, and Nina Dobrev.
