“Chuck” is one those guilty pleasure indulgences for me. It is not the strongest show, but something about it just draws me back week after week. It may have something to do with the stunningly beautiful Yvonne Strahovski. But I like to think there is more than just that.
The first three seasons were a bit of a roller coaster. It started off strong and then got to the point where it was thought petitions would be needed to keep the show going. Thankfully, Warner has saw fit to give the show a chance.
In the fourth season, we find lots of changes occurring throughout the season. The common thread in this show is the search for Chuck’s family secrets. His sister Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) has a family of her own. With the death of Chuck’s father in a previous season, the ...

"Smallville" has had its ups and downs during its on-going nine-season run. For many, the appeal of the film fell off after the first few seasons. As far I am concerned, the first three seasons were just a warm up for what has become a terrific extension of the Superman saga.
The first few seasons were essentially villains or freaks of the week episodes. Beginning in season four the show took on a plot arc approach. This worked well for a couple seasons but then the show feel victim to spending more time on random weekly episodes rather than the season's story arc. It seems that show has move in and out of this habit over the past few seasons. Season was extremely vulnerable to that effect.
I am pleased to report that season nine is back in full swing. Occasionally the ...

It’s that time of the year; the time in which we are overloaded with last year’s television show seasons being released on home video. Here we have the third season of “Chuck.” As a fan of the show I can say that the writing and stories remain strong. This is likely because I find it easy to overlook the show’s flaws. I get into the relationships and some of the subplots more than the main story line. That’s what keeps me coming back.
For those that don’t care about the on-again, off-again relationship between Chuck and Sarah, or whether or not Ellie will ever discover Chuck’s double life, probably find the show to be fairly monotonous. Chuck and his team get in trouble and then they are free. That is why the subplots are so important.
“Chuck” is about an expelled-Stanford student ...

By the sixth season of the show, you all have either gotten deep into the show or have buried yourself into a different drama. I won’t analyze each episode, as it would get a little redundant. However, for those of you like me that just can’t get enough “House,” this package is going to be a must on your list.
For those of you don’t know much about the show but are curious, “House” is about an unorthodox doctor (Hugh Laurie) who specializes in discovering the causes of rare symptoms that normal doctors always attribute to standard issues. I will tell you that the cases that House comes across are anything but normal. He has built a very special team of brilliant doctors. Shows like this generally get old within the first season or so. However, “House” keeps us coming back.
The ...

Okay, "Lost," without a doubt" has had a tremendous impact on television primetime development and pop culture. However, I for one don't get it. I have never been a "Lost" fan and nor will I be. Thus, this review is going to comprise mainly of information on disc features and quality.
So, this is it, the last season of "Lost." Thank goodness. No longer will I have to see promos for the show. But that is just me. I'm not going to criticize the show. It obviously has millions of fans so something must be attractive about it. Therefore, those that are already fans don't need me to talk about how good the show is and nor will they accept arguments for why the show is not all it is cracked up to be.
While I have not watched more than a ...
