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 »

Don’t read me. Scroll down and look at the photos in the previous post (and those it links to). I’d much prefer that than you reading about what I think about some stupid shows on the telly.
Now that I have you super happy excited to read this…
Chuck: I’m certain now that this is my favorite show on television right now. It used to be The Office, but now it is this. Oh, and before you comment out in all caps it should be Lost, it ain’t on right now! (But Lost would be that if it were.) Back on Chuck, I just enjoy it. I don’t know if it is because I identify with the geek-cool in Chuck, although I don’t pull off the same kinda cool he does, or that we have the same shoes, but I like this character and I especially like his faux girlfriend… okay, let’s not devolve this week shall we? I think I just wish my life were suddenly as exciting as Chuck’s got… yeah, that’s it. As for this episode, old man John Larroquette was quite good. I was mostly expecting a lot of suck out of him, but he pulled off the smar... Continue reading »

One down.
I had two opportunities to watch Heroes this weekend and couldn’t bring myself to do it. That’s even after Ed’s endorsement. So I just called it. I deleted it right off Media Center and the series setting as well. I’m out. Enough with the stealing. The mystery was gone for me. That said, if someone tells me at the end of this season that it rocked hard, I’ll rent it on DVD, but I am not going to invest my time in it now.
Now that that is out of the way, on to this weeks thoughts. I’m going to stick with the title and just add on a week number. Easy enough.
Big Bang: Sheldon makes this show, so if he’s the focus, it is probably going to be good. This one was a good start with him trying to keep the blonde hottie’s secret. I don’t even remember what that was, but that’s because it has something to do with Leonard and I actually prefer him in the Trouty character in My Boys.
HIMYM:... Continue reading »
Telefizzled
Kind of burned out on television a little bit last year. I don’t know if it was the WGA strike, the inconsistent quality in shows I watch or just getting over watching a ton of telly. I suspect, now that I typed that out, it is a little bit of all those things.
So, I guess it comes as no surprise that my schedule this year is pretty light, which is a good thing. I deliberately decided not to glom on to any new hour long shows this year. I am going to try a couple out, but other than that, I am just saying no. I am also going to try out a new 1/2 comedy and re-adopt one that fell to the wayside last year. Finally, I am going to try and write a little bit about shows each week just to judge my interest, and yours, in them. That means comments people!
That said, here’s my fall schedule (new shows in bold):
Two new words
Maybe.
I was reading up on comments over at The Ed Zone today and I was reminded of a post I had been meaning to post. You see, I think I have two new words to offer the lexicon, but you tell me. They aren’t quite on the level of a ginormous, but who can aim that big, right?
The first, which reminded me of this idea, stemmed from “bromance.” Now, the Urban Dictionary has all manner of definitions for the word, so going with the first in the list for brevity:
Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.
I first caught wind of the term this summer, or late spring, when I read/heard that MTV was in town casting for Brody Jenner’s new show on MTV of the same name. I guess since Spencer broke up with him, he’s on the market for a new bro, or at least that’s w... Continue reading »
