We watched the Chuck-Heroes-Journeyman lineup last night. Chuck was fun, the spy spoof, kind of like ED in tone (which was pretty well written for a while) only with the Stanford engineering Graduate instead of an underachieving corporate attorney. I do like a show with honest nerds, and he's such a personable one, with a sort of Get Smart feel to it, and bogus science.
Heroes is a new favorite, quite addictive, although when they start cutting in more ads that could get old. We are five episodes or so short of finishing the first season on DVD, so there was a bit of huh? missed that bit (like how did Peter Petrelli keep from getting capped) but I actually like the comic bookness of it. Also the big paintings. Gonna get me some big canvasses I am.
Journeyman looked better in preview I'm afraid. The script seemed a bit scattered, and I was not entertained by the multiple-lovers-in-the-same-room sort of frisson the way I am supposed to be I guess. We'll see how it develops, but I expect terminal romanticism. He's one of those Guardian Enforcer types who Uses His Power For Good, and it's fun to explore the power and whether he can control it, but can the marriage be saved, ho hum. Nice Bay Area locations but he's no Nash Bridges.
Generally I don't follow a lot of comedies. Mostly cop shows. So I did get the tape machine geared up tonight for Bones, but then we ended up watching NCIS-House-SVU as usual. Tuesdays are good. NCIS is still my favorite, and this one resolved most of the big cliffhanger from last season's end, Armand Assante in his star turn. House had excellent new twistinesses. SVU I had already pretty well figured out from the preview, and multiple personalities are not so interesting in a mere hour format.
Everything that survives comes around in reruns soon enough, so tomorrow night there will be some hard choices.
