What's On My PVR... Parti Deux

Wow... am I ever feeling silly. In my previous post where I talked about what I stopped watching last year and what's on my PVR this year, I mentioned Gossip Girl and Chuck Bass, and yet somehow I completely forgot to mention the Chuck B. who really owns my heart: Chuck Bartowski.

Yes, I watch Chuck.

Well... confession time. I watched Chuck. (Please don't hate me.) I watched it and LOVED it through season 1. I watched the first half of season 2. Then, once again, while I was working on the books I let it pile up on my PVR and figured I'd catch up on it in the summer.

But despite laughing out loud at least twice in every episode, and loving Chuck completely, every episode started to feel the same: Casey and Sarah would vow that Chuck would stay behind-the-scenes on the next mission, then they'd find some dude (or woman) who inevitably was connected to Fulcrum, and then Chuck would flash on them, and then they'd have to let him be a bigger part of it, and then he would be thinking about how much he loves Sarah and you can tell she really loves him, but he breaks up with her (again) and then she decides to hurt him for his own good but then they have to pretend to be together for the mission and then his sister is standing there asking what is going on with his relationship. Meanwhile, back at the Buy More, Morgan and the rest of the Nerd Herd are staging some gladiator tournament of some kind in the backroom that will either enrage the boss or bring them new kudos from the others or just be the second storyline.

And then everything would end happy (with a little bit of sad thrown in) and off we'd go to the next episode, which would be exactly the same. I love Chuck, and was THRILLED it was renewed (and will continue to be thrilled, because it will always hold a special place in my heart) but to make room for the other shows, I had to let it go. I might tune in every once in a while just to see what he's up to.

Castle is another show that's actually on my PVR. Somehow I managed to miss the very first episode (ARGH!) and keep asking my husband to download it for me so I could just watch it and then watch the rest of the series, but I don't know when it starts up again or if I have all of the eps on my PVR, so this might be a catch-up one later.

Same with Better Off Ted. I eventually gave up on waiting for him to download the first and started watching the rest, and they were HILARIOUS (why isn't anyone talking about this show??) and I think I'm missing a bunch here and there and so I'm probably not getting the full effect.

Man. Just when I thought I was overloaded with shows, I actually forget to mention THREE that are on my PVR. Sheesh. I also didn't mention that I watched all of HBO's Hung (and really liked it, even though I don't think it ranks anywhere near the top of HBO shows) and I assume y'all know I watch True Blood so I didn't mention that.

AND I didn't even begin to mention the reality shows I watch. (Yes. I watch reality TV. But only the BEST Reality TV.) Project Runway just started in Canada this week (don't give me any US spoilers please!!); So You Think You Can Dance is doing a fall season just when the summer season finished in fabulous fashion... they've lowered the commitment to one hour a week from four, however... I wonder how long that will last?? I just finished "Make Me a Supermodel" and if you're a fan of Tyra's show (or, like me, you USED to be until Tyra went bananas), WATCH THIS SHOW. It's SOOO freakin' good. LOVE it.

Oh. And I still watch EastEnders. I need SOME trash in my life. But we're still 2 years behind the Brits. Sigh.

There's no way I'm gonna have enough time for this much TV...
