Monday Night TV Recap

Well, the new TV season is off with a bang! "Chuck" was actually quite good and worth a second look. The premise is that Chuck's old college roomate was a rogue CIA spy, and with his dying breath he sent Chuck an email, which essentially ingrains all of the government's secrets into Chuck's brain. So now he is the ultimate computer program for the Feds and they need to protect him at all costs and also use him as an operative. Plus, you can't beat "The Nerd Herd", which is the computer division of the large electronics store he works for. I wonder where they got the idea for that from...

"Heroes" was great, but not as amazing as I thought it would have been, and both Jess and I are feeling a little flat after the episode which was presented with limited commercial interuption with sponsorship from you-know-who: Nissan. Plenty of shameless plugs for the new Nissan Rogue during the show as well.

But on the flipside, they did catch us up to speed with what has been happening with most of the major characters in the four months since the big showdown with Sylar. Plus we get to meet several new "Heroes" including Sark (Remember Alias?)!

"CSI:Miami" and "Journeyman" are recording as I write this, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to check those out.
