Heroes and More TV

My 3 favorite shows on TV right now, easily Heroes, Chuck and Pushing Daisies.

Heroes again delivered as it does every week. Suresh seems to have "turned" Bob around. Huh?? I don't buy that for one minute. HRG, is back to his old ways but fighting for the heroes now. Kills his old mentor and finds the paintings. Not much to go on there.
Claire and here new boyfriend get even with the head cheerleader and get Claire on the squad. Loved it. Sorry if it was a bit mean. ;-)
Syler gets the crap beat out of him. Always love that. The vigilanties at the border, which I'm guessing was a shot at the minutemen project came off poorly. Hiro screws up and kisses the girl. Big mistake as he again splinters history and is captured.
Peter shows up in Montreal and a note is waiting for him. Then he time travels with the Irish girl into the future one year to find out 90% of the world population is dead??? Wow, lets not just wipe out New York this year, lets take out the whole world. Should make for a great season.

Chuck is a great lead into Heroes and if you have not seen it yet, give it a try. You will not be disappointed. This week he screws up again and feels betrayed by his operatives and his friend. He gives up a chance for a promotion into management at Buy More to go save a bunch of lives. And in the end, saves the day. I think the cast is great and the writing is awesome. I'm just worried, how long they can keep this kind of story going. Eventually his intel becomes obsolete, they will build a new computer, etc... Can this show last more than 1 season. If so the writers need to figure out why they need Chuck more than the next super computer.

And finally, talk about a weird show. Pushing Daisies takes the cake. This Bryan Fuller creation is a very quirky show that pulls out all the stops to entertain. The writing is outstanding and the actors due a superb job in every one of their rolls. Whether it is Lee Pace as Ned, Anna Friel as Chuck, Emerson, Olive, the Aunts, to every bit player in the show.

In last nights episode the ghost of a jockey dead these 7 years has come back to kill the 4 riders that trampled over his body in the 2000 Jock Off and then covered up his murder. As it turned out, Olive was one of those 4 jockeys. This show borders on genius. Definitely check it out.

Until next time...
