DVR Chatter

If you haven't added "Friday Night Lights" from last year (and, based on its ratings last year, it appears most didn't), tonight is your chance to jump in.  It's the second season premiere.

We really like Journeyman.  We also get a kick out of Chuck.  Both are on NBC Monday nights.

Geez, all three shows are NBC.  Nothing else has really jumped out at us.  "Life" was OK (based on the last scene of the pilot it will get better). That's another NBC show.

Forgot one: Gossip Girl on CW.  It may not be a lot of people's cup of tea, but we really like it.  It's pretty dark and it's funny.  Very OC-ish. If you liked early OC, I think you'll like Gossip Girl.  I think the characters are well drawn - no one is a complete hero (OK, you got me: The main dude has no deep seated character flaws) and no one is a complete villain. Leighton Meester is one of my favorite young actresses, and she is delightful as the bad girl.

Going into the season I was pretty juiced over Bionic Woman (NBC again), but the premiere was a bit disappointing and I've read that the premiere was better than EP2.

We've already dumped K-Ville (and Cavemen, needless to say) from our schedule.

Okay, just new shows:

Life - OK, haven't watched Ep2 yet.
Journeyman - My wife and I both love this one.
K'Ville - Wife ditched after 10mins, I ditched after Ep2
Bionic Woman - Pilot was good, haven't watched Ep2...
Big Shots - Big flops
Cavemen - Deleted after 2mins
Back to You - FUNNY! and we don't really get into sitcoms
Chuck - I like it, wife doesn't
Reaper - Great show, I've been watching. Wife hasn't.

Edits:

Pushing Daisies - We watched the first 10mins so far, intriguing.  Will watch more.

I like the naration on "Pushing Daisies", kind of reminds of Peter Falk reading to his grandson on "The Princess Bride".

Now, if only she dressed like that on the show.

Not exactly Dale Arden of days gone by:

And then we have....


Wonder if she's available to replace Kate Bosworth for Superman: Man of Steel.  Margot Kidder was 39 the last time she played Lois Lane.  32 isn't that much of a stretch.

Among our favorites of new shows:
Life
Journeyman
Pushing Daisies

Still on the fence, leaning toward keeping watching:
Back to You
Bionic Woman
Carpoolers

Probably falling to the wayside:
Chuck  (Liked the first episode, but starting getting bored during episode 2...getting too absurd)

Never bothered to record or watch:
Cavemen
Kville
Big Shots
Private Practice

Have recorded, but haven't yet watched:
Reaper (my daughter & son-in-law recommended it highly)
Dirty Sexy Money

Still watching our favs from last year:
House
The Unit
Heroes
Numbers
Criminal Minds
Supernatural
Earl

Can't wait for the return of:
Lost
Medium
24
Men in Trees
Jericho

Not network, but 'Flash Gordon' on SciFi should be renamed 'Flush Garbage.' Surprisingly boring. I'm also worried about Stargate: Atlantis. The ads keep mentioning 'more action', which just sounds like lots more guns and blood. At least there are new episodes of 'How Its Made' on The Science Channel.

Why I watch Flash Gordon:

I'm about 2/3 of the way through EP 1 of Flash Gordon.  It's not horrible, and even if it was she could make me endure a lot of horrible.

I'm not sure why Flash Gordon gets such a bad rap. Based on EP1, it's not the best show I've ever seen, but it's not worse than your average sci-fi.

The best pilot I've ever seen (by a mile) was Alias.

I've seen every Flash episode.  I like Sci-fi and I agree, not the best. It's
just OK with great eye candy. Good for the soul.
