Telefizzled w.22
With the Nielsen sweeps starting this month, the schedule is going to fill out again, but for this week, just five shows. Let’s get on with it.
Chuck: More beatdowns of Morgan. I love it. Of course, it didn’t last long, but it was very funny when Chuck sprayed him with the nitrous oxide breath spray. Funnier because I didn’t see the setup of that part from the show opening. (I got home a little late.) Jeffster was about as lame as you could ask for, so therefore, awesome! Chuck didn’t get blowned up and he and Sarah do their little dance for us. Sigh.
Lost: I can never decide if I am a fan of John Locke or not, kinda like Sawyer, but overall, this one felt a little flat to me. I slapped up some comments over on Ed’s post. Very little to choose from this week, so I guess I have to go with house-mom Kate.
30 Rock: This one was all about Tracy. Sure, the Lemon and Kenneth quest to retrieve her phone with... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.21
Light week with a lot of shows in repeat. Now I kinda wish I was going to write about Trust Me and Burn Notice because both were new. I guess that’s what happens with these new cable network shows and that’s a good thing.
Chuck: So it is going to be like that is it? Are they just going to get Chuck or Sarah’s hopes up at the start of each episode and then have the other dash them by the end? Every time? Seems like that these days. Andy Richter, Jenny McCarthy and the creepy alien bounty hunter guy from The X-Files appear as part of a Fulcrum neighborhood watch. They were good for the most part. Richter not totally believable, but he was okay I guess. I wish he could get a regular gig and actually be good at it, or at least the show be good or those around him be good. It always seems like something. Lastly, I like that they are going to torment Morgan by having Big Mike date his madre. He deserves it.
Lost: As always, comments are on The Ed Zone. Booty Call Kate wins! (The joke just... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.19
Weekly schedule is getting pretty full. Time to trim some fat again? Maybe.
Chuck: I don’t think I have ever seen anything in 3D that impressed me. Ever. I am guessing I am not the only one either. To me, in order to pull it off at all, things are added or adjusted to accommodate the gimmick, so it not only looks bad, it is bad. Now, I didn’t have any 3D glasses to watch with, so I had to endure the episode with a lot of RGB fuzz/halo around different people and objects throughout. It might not have been as bothersome in standard definition, but in high definition it was very annoying. I wish they’d just let this alone. As for the story, well it wasn’t a great one. I thought they just blew over explanation from Sarah about killing the Fulcrum dude so much that it didn’t seem important at all. It seemed like it was going to be to Chuck, but maybe not much past 44 minutes. I think it is clear that Dominic Monaghan can only play two characters: a rocker and a hobbit. I suggest he stick with the second one. Also, this guy is an uggo. I don’t un... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.13
Lucky week 13, which was like two weeks ago, but that Festivus holiday had its way with my time. This post includes weeks 12 and 13 since 13 only had my Monday and Tuesday shows at the start of the week.
Chuck (w.12): Sarah’s confidence man daddy shows up played by none other than Gary Cole. No TPS reports. Anyway, the team somehow pulls off a con on some sheik/prince and then goes to heck and then the team decides to save daddy from going to the klink even though he double crossed everyone. Something about a DeLorean and the General Lee too, but kinda just Morgan related noise.
Chuck (w.13): Best guest appearance ever! Sergeant Al Powell is back on the job Christmas Eve at a hostage situation in the Burbank BuyMore. Twinkies still in hand. Turns out Big Al is Big Mike’s cousin. Oh, and Sarah basically executes a Fulcrum agent to protect Chuck, but he doesn’t know why she does this and it just leaves you hanging with something until the series starts back up in January. Of course they used the time previous in the episode to draw the two back together som... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.11
Again with the thoughts of abandoning this series, but I am reenergized a little tiny bit with the recent commercials for Lost and Scrubs, so something to look forward to, yeah? That said, and because it has been a while, I am going to be quick with this week’s because I don’t entirely remember everything about the shows I watched last week.
Chuck: Found this entertaining as usual and the guest appearance by Carl Lumbly (Dixon on Alias) as Casey’s sensei-gone-wild… err, rogue, was cool. Looked like he was having fun with the part and he’s the second Alias alum to make an appearance here; Kevin Weisman (Marshall) as a former eastern bloc gymnast spy being the other. Awesome’s parents finally make an appearance and despite both being a hundred years old, Bruce Boxleitner and Morgan Fairchild still look good with no help at all (I’m sure).
Big Bang: Um… drawing a blank on this one. Oh… repeat!
HIMYM: Ditto
Eli Stone: Like it matters, but we find out the acupuncturist dude made a copy of Eli’s dad&... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.10
What happened to week 9? Did you even notice? This here is a two-for-one. Actually, it is probably more like a one-and-a-half-for-one. It would seem that after viewing three shows last night, I am already done for this week, so let’s get it over with!
Chuck (w.9): What’s better than Kate Austen crawling thru HVAC ducts? Sarah Walker crawling thru HVAC ducts. Well, it was what I thought of as it happened. Anyway, this one features the ex getting jealous of Chuck and Sarah. Oh and then kidnapped and rescued. But then she steals Chuck away for a weekend and Casey and Sarah find out she’s an evil spy. And let me continue this on to last night’s episode where…
Chuck (w.10): …they make her not evil, but then evil, but not evil, but then evil again. I’m not sure if she does or does not dig on Chuck now. Whatever, she was captured by Chuck in the end, her guest stint is done and I will surely miss the hot brunette in glasses thing that I seem to dig on. I may take Ed’s advice and sit thru The Faculty for the heckuvit. Maybe it ca... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.8
With the new-this-year shows having already fizzled out, I contemplated discontinuing this series, but today I thought better of it. I figure it keeps me putting up at least something, but also because I suspect the shows that are left on my slate are going to continue the trend and fizzle out too. Therefore, I aim to continue this series in order to track this.
That said, if you do watch any of these shows, it would be nice to hear from you more often. I refuse to believe I am the only one watching The Hills. If I should stop writing these, you’ll let me know, right? (Unless you like laughing at me behind my back, which is fine too.) I mean, I know a good lot of you watch The Office and Joe at least used to watch Smallville, but usually this is The Ed Zone Part Deux in the comments. Not a bad thing as he brings the level of writing, and certainly humor, around here up a notch. Apparently I’m not funny enough in some of these for you to say so. Maybe I don’t leave enough room for clear shots at my self-dep... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.6
There is no life on Mars. I didn’t watch it this week and I don’t think I will get around to it. I think this is going to be one of those shows I will watch if it is on and I am too lazy to turn it off. You know you do the same thing sometimes.
Speaking of lazy, I didn’t get a regular post up this week. Will try for two next week, but that might be unrealizable. Anyway, all that with three less shows to watch. Mars because I don’t seem to want to and Big Bang and HIMYM since they were repeats from last year.
Chuck: Missile Command as the mechanism to control a satellite to launch missiles. Awesome. Chuck becomes a hero when he beats the snot out of the game while it spins around on stage, which was just stupid. The creepy guy… I forget his name, was the all-time king, but he passed out or something and Chuck plays and saves the world. The creepy guy is even more creepy now after seeing his drinking pants and stalker video. You don’t care.
My Own Worst Enemy: Tomorrow night, they’ll kill him and the show will be over, bu... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.5
(Before I start, are you seeing the blue logo at the top or are you seeing my halloween decorations? Just wondering…)
I am already fizzling out on writing these things. Just kidding. It took me a little extra time to watch one last show from last week, so I had to delay this one a little. It doesn’t matter which one. They were all most teh suck.
There’s a reason I named this series Telefizzled you know…
Chuck: Well, based on what you read, ratings are down for this show and that bums me out. It is a really good show, but NBC and I can’t seem to convince anyone to watch it. If it gets canceled, I am blowing the whole season up until Lost rears its head… and maybe Friday Night Lights. This epsiode was an homage of sorts to Grosse Pointe Blank. We see Sarah as a total nerd in high school and Chuck is giddy to find out some deats about her real life, or so he thinks. Turns out her daddy was a real live confidence man, so whatever name they gave her wasn’t real. I don’t remember if they really sussed it out, but it turns ... Continue reading »
Telefizzled w.4
First off, I offer an apology that I didn’t get another post up last week. Work took over for most of the week and I was drunk the rest of it. I am kidding about the work part. I will get two non-telly posts up this week to make up for it. One being about the Sox and the other being about being drunk at work.
This week saw my schedule grow by two new shows, so here we go:
Chuck: Bryce wasn’t very interesting. I mean, they could have done more other than to make Chuck jealous, like, I don’t know, explore more about his past with Chuck and whether or not they are still sorta friends or frenemies. The interesting wrinkle was Sarah pretty much showed she’s fallen for Chuck, which in turn had Bryce convincing Chuck to put her off, which was a painful scene to watch. Do guys like Chuck pull like that? He is cool, but he handled that too easily. I don’t think I could have done it. Anyway, it has come back to what you’d expect, the will-they, won’t-they arrangement that TV loves, except this time the characters actually got a little ta... Continue reading »
