Reasons To Watch More TV

Like you/me needed one. Things I'm really starting to enjoy about fall. Wait, no, things I'm really starting to enjoy about fall TV.

Chuck. I'm not sure how long I'll watch the show, but the reference to Oceanic 815 as a government secret, the use of Violent Femmes (albeit a cover) music, and I won't beat around the bush on this, but Yvonne Strzechowski. And to clarify, her cover job at the gourmet hot dog joint is pretty funny. Chuck's sister Sarah Lancaster and her ridiculous boyfriend kind of crack me up too.

I'm actually watching all of NBC's Monday night lineup. This wouldn't happen, but when you have pvr you just start recording things, then you use any excuse to watch it. That accounts for Journeyman. I think. Well, that and the pleasant sight of Moon Bloodgood (More at Maxim). Both these two shows work with Heroes because they both look really good, especially Journeyman. PS: the music is great during the trips back to the past, which make me long for a great Scott Bakula show. Oh. Boy. I mean who rocks the Smashing Pumpkins "Today" circa 1993 ever? Although the clearly fake Google search engine on the iPhone is ridic.

And I might as well round up things that while Reaper isn't going to the biggest show ever, or this season even, I'm watching 'cause it's filmed here, the pilot was directed by Kevin Smith, and, well, Missy Peregrym. And why not. Not gonna lie, we called her the local "it" girl April 2006. And we stand by that reco, especially since Stick It was so great, plus she was on Heroes right?

And I'm not going to forget about Heroes. Last week our friend Anthony summed up the first episode like this, "All i'm saying is that Heroes better not suck the lame more than it did this episode. I have much higher expectations from it than i do for a remake of a mediocre series that is shot on West Hastings street and stars a British soap star." Well, let's not be too harsh and compare it to Bionic Woman. He did add, "there was good (3rd world hottie killing people, Suresh infiltrating the company) there was bad (Claire doing her best Buffy imitation, Nathan creepy longshoreman beard) and there was lame. (another flying person, Claires dad at Kinko's, Peter...wait for it...amnesia, and then seeing that Sylar is still alive.)" All good points. So he's not going to be pleased with ehe cherry blossom snow tonight I'm pretty sure. And. Seriously. Good. Ending.

Quick I better link to photos of Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Bell bowling to appease him.
