What Have I Been Watching?

Besides American Idol and the Super Bowl, I have not been watching a lot of TV lately.

I did manage to watch two episodes of Chuck last week. Chuck is possibly my favorite show on TV (it’s a close call between Chuck and Heroes).

I also watched LOST, which was a really good episode. I don’t think I like the glimpses into the future, but other than that it’s been fun to watch.

I have been watching Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and while I enjoy it, the people on the show seem to have less desire to win at all costs than the normal apprentices.

Anyway, I have been rather busy lately, so I might start doing weekly round-ups of shows that I watch, instead of discussing each show separately.

Lastly, I am glad that it looks like the writer’s strike will be over soon. I would hate to see reality TV be the ONLY thing on TV the rest of the year.



When Will Your Favorite TV Show Go On Strike?

When will the writer’s strike affect your favorite show?

TV guide is keeping a running list of tv shows that shows how many episodes have aired, how many have been produced, and how many are left. Click here to check out the list.

I read that LOST might go on hiatus until 2009, because of the writers strike. That would really suck. As for my favorite shows:

Heroes has 4 episodes left, Chuck has 6 left, Numbers has 4 left and Jericho has 7 left.

I understand why they are striking… it makes sense, but I really hope the writer’s strike ends soon.

How many episodes does your favorite tv show have left before it goes on strike?



Does Heroes Season 2 Suck?

My good friend, John, wrote a post earlier today titled, “Heroes Season 2 Officially Sucks“. Now, I have to admit that I have been enjoying the tv show Chuck a little more than Heroes so far, but seriously does Heroes suck?

My answer is:

“No! The Bionic woman sucks… Heroes does not suck!

In fact, I still think that Heroes is a really good tv show.

I agree with John that it would have been nice for all the Heroes to meet up and join together to fight the bad guys. I also agree that there are a few parts of the story that just don’t make sense, but it’s just a tv show and it’s still a fun show to watch.

They have introduced some interesting new characters (Like Bob and Kensei) and some not so interesting characters (like Maya and Alejandro). However, I think that one of the characters I am not very fond of, Alejandro, is going to become a VERY interesting character. Sure, I don’t like Maya’s whole black plague power, but Alejandro seems to have the ability to reverse her power. What if he can reverse other people’s powers? Wouldn’t it be cool to see Sylar attack Alejandro and instead of cutting open Alejandro’s head, Sylar cuts open his own head? You know that’s got to be coming, right?

I think that Season 2 of Heroes still has a lot of potential and will be VERY entertaining the rest of the season. The end of the last episode with Kensei hitting Hiro, Peter in the future, and Noah discovering the pictures is what I think will mark the starting point of a really awesome Season 2.

So, do you think Heroes sucks or not?

NBC’s Bionic Woman Sucks!

The other night, I watched the Bionic Woman on NBC and in my opinion it sucked. The only thing I enjoyed about the show was the fight scenes. The fight scenes were kind of cool, but the show was NOT good at all.

One of the things I didn’t like about the new Bionic woman is how much darker it is than the original series. The original series was much lighter and more fun. I wouldn’t have minded it being so dark if they could have at least thrown in some comedic relief (like Heroes does). But the season premiere of the Bionic woman lacked any humor whatsoever, and in my opinion was a boring mess. It was kind of like Alias or Heroes except… without humor, without an interesting story line, and without any surprises. If it doesn’t get more entertaining in the coming weeks I won’t be watching it for very long. It’s too bad, because I had such high hopes for it…

On the other hand, there are two new shows that show some real promise:

Life and Chuck on NBC.

Jill or I will have to talk about them some time in the future.
