With the new TV season well underway, here’s a view of the shows we’ve decided to add to our viewing schedule. By no means definitive, these are some of the new(er) shows we’ve decided to give a try, and stuck with so far:

Chuck

This is the fun new “spy” show lead-in to Heroes. Saves us having to change channels, and it’s all good fun. I thought the show may eventually suffer from budget issues what with all the James Bond-y stuff going on, but it hasn’t so far. Lots of humour, just enough action, and a delightful lack of amateur yowlers competing in front of arrogant airheaded judges make this show one of our keepers so far this season.

Journeyman

Again, this new show benefits from following Heroes, so we don’t have to exert any effort changing channels. I’m all in favour of saving my energy whenever I can. If I could only type these postings with the power of my brain…but that’s a whole other issue, for another time…

Journeyman is all about a guy that travels through time, and hooks up with his ex-fiancé. This sort-of ticks off his current wife, back in the present. He also does heroic things while he time-travels, so this block of shows seems to have a common thread, but at the moment I just can’t put my finger on it. So far, we’re really enjoying this show.

Saving Grace

Holly Hunter plays a crude, rough-around-the-edges cop, that gets visits from an angel, and one that sure ain’t spending any time in a red convertible with Della Reese. He looks like Lenny from Laverne & Shirley, after a three-day bender. This one is just fun, if not to see how far the writers can push the envelope.

There’s a few more, but I’ve got to get ready now, to drive Mrs. That Dan Guy to work. We’ve got this “Driving Miss Daisy” thing we play, and my chauffeur’s uniform takes some effort to get into..

Chow for now!!
