24 Day 7, Hour 8 – Yes, He Is That Into You

February 10, 2009 StayTuned Staff

By ElaineB Lesson Learned: Think before you plan the “perfect” murder/suicide Whew! Last week Henry Taylor managed to avoid the noose and kill his aide Brian instead and we all rejoiced that he would not be seen as another Taylor suicide (being this first family is really tough!). This week the forensics specialists managed to finger Brian for the bad guy, noting the syringe of narcotic found at the crime scene. So it is likely that, had things gone better for Brian, they would have found the drugs in Henry’s system as well, or at least a needle mark, and […]

24 Day 7, Hour 7 — Lord Dubaku unleashes his Death Star … and it fizzles

February 3, 2009 StayTuned Staff

By ElaineB Lesson Learned: Anything controlled by a computer should have a manual override switch. Some years back, Scientific American had a long article on the next generation of nuclear power plants, noting that computers could override human error and shut reactors down when problems develop. Well, last night, an insecticide plant near a small Ohio city learned why having computers in charge is not a good idea.

Comic-Con ’08: Take The New Knight Rider Out For A Spin

July 28, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH Speculation ran wild when a new “Knight Rider” movie aired on NBC earlier this year that it was actually a pilot for a new series. Well, that turned out to be true — the show premieres Sept. 24 — but the producers say to forget pretty much everything in that movie. There’s a new sheriff in town, executive producer Gary Scott Thompson, who knows his way around fast cars. He wrote the first two “Fast and the Furious” movies and wasted no time making this show his own. The lead, Mike Traceur (Jason Bruening), has a new […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus The Truth

November 13, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Spoiler Alert: Rachel Bilson is adorable. I will forever refer to her as my future ex-wife. Wow. I have to warn you. This blog writer is under the same truth serum influence as the characters from last night’s Chuck episode. I can’t be held responsible for anything in the bold font. It’s the serum talking and I have no control. With just over a half-dozen episodes under its belt, Chuck has finally begun to shed its new employee status and the writers appear comfortable at their place of employment. Sure, week after week they tend to throw spy cliches our […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus the Alma Mater

November 6, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Chuck would rather “get hit in the Produce section” than go back to Stanford University, again. And it has nothing to do with the $294.68 he owes in late fees for a book he’s still sitting on, from the Stanford library. Stanford is where Chuck went from potential to peril as his best friend, Bryce, stole his girlfriend and set him up, ultimately leading to his expulsion. After getting weekly hints at what Bryce did to Chuck, we finally find out why Chuck was kicked out of Stanford. Deception. Crossbows. And the Dewey Decimal system. Oh yes. All of the […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus The Sandworm

October 30, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

God help me. But I am beginning to come around to the two characters that I thought I would always dislike on the show. Captain Awesome and Morgan. Too bad their characters aren’t gay. In the Brangelina way of combining names, I would love to refer to the couple as Captain Morgan. It’s finally interview day for Chuck, who is in direct competition with Tang for a low-level management position at Buy More. Chuck’s own boss wants him to get the job, albeit for purely selfish stress-related reasons, and tells Chuck he’s a lock for it. After all, as he […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus The Sizzling Shrimp.

October 24, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

When JD and Turk leave our moving picture boxes after this season of Scrubs, Chuck and Morgan look to be next in the Hetero-lifemates TV Character Line. Yes, that’s a real line and it forms to the left. No skipping. That means you, Sam and “Sock” from Reaper. Obviously dealing with separation anxiety, Morgan has organized “An Evening Of Morgan” with Chuck. And the second Sarah appears wearing her work uniform, we know Morgan’s evening is doomed. Morgan’s idea of the ultimate evening turns out to be shrimp. And lots of it. Unfortunately, the restaurant that houses the greatest sizzling […]

“Chuck” Recap: If You Are Beautiful, You Too Could Be A Secret Agent!

October 16, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Two of the better shows this television season consist of underachievers whose love-lives suffer from the same shortcomings as their jobs. They’re guys who are capable of so much more, yet settle for so much less, simply because they don’t go after anything. I’m talking about the CW’s Reaper as well as NBC’s Chuck. Enter some intervention, whether it’s the Devil himself on Reaper or the classified information that has been implanted into Chuck’s brain courtesy of a frenemy’s brain-hacking. I’m hooked on Chuck and hope it hangs around this season. It’s like that kid in school who was never […]
