mondays on nbc

Mondays on NBC: Can't live without them. When Chuck first premiered, I thought the premise was too outlandish to work. Low and behold, I can't go without watching it every week. Zachary Levi is equal parts credible dork and oh shucks cute. He's no Elijah Wood, but his eyes definitely convey the perfect "zoinks!" moment.


Heroes. I can't talk enough about the show. I know, it's gotten bashed for it's flaws, the writers taking us to boring places, adding extraneous characters, etc. But I'm sticking with it. Hiro in Feudal Japan? You hated it, I loved it. Suresh is whiny and always ends up joining with the bad guys no matter what he says when he started out. Sylar's gonna slash and absorb powers no matter what (well...) When you add the sum of it's parts, you've got a movie every week. The production quality is unbelievable and its costing NBC a pretty penny to get the effects, locations, etc. Yeah, it would be nice to get some new 'heroes' or explore more 'villains', but the best tv shows stuck with the core characters, fleshing them out to where viewers felt they really knew and loved them, flawed and beautiful. Bring on more of the cheerleader and her "three" families (remember that Flint is Meredith's brother, hence her uncle). Let Matt have another love. Where the hell is Molly? When is Suresh going to shed his nasty skin?


You can't see it stateside any more, but you can catch the BBC produced Hereos: Unmasked on YouTube.
