This Week in Boob Tubery 11/16

With the writer's strike lingering indefinitely, This Week in Boob Tubery may be forced to take a temporary hiatus. I'm definitely not going to start watching reality shows. I guess I could chronicle my Guitar Hero games.

Heroes- Liars. You did not answer ALL my questions. In fact you pretty much filled in the blanks in the least inventive way possible. Good job. So Peter blew up and then was immediately fine and saved Nathan, then went to rehab for like 4 months. Thrilling. Why go through all of the trouble to bring DL back to life only to have a greasy pimp kill him off unceremoniously within 20 minutes. As for Nikki/Jeana (Apparently), I'm totally over that story. And I couldn't care any less about the wonder twins of doom. Showing their back story added almost nothing. I am interested to see what Adam's master plan is. He'd better have one! P.S. Sylar should be DEAD. But since he's not, he's definitely going to kill Alejandro.

Chuck- Hey, they finally starting doing something with this show. This week was what a bad episode of Chuck should be. They did several key things this week. 1. introduced the love triangle. Sure it's cliched, but hey, it works. 2. They took it over the top. Up until now the show has taken itself way too seriously. Finally, they crossed the line into ridiculousness. It's exactly what the show needs. I can only hope they keep it up. And 3. They got rid of the "I'm an asshole for no particular reason" Asian guy. Good job, Chuck. No don't go back to sucking next week.

Pushing Daisies- The over-narrated flashbacks are starting to wear thin for me, but overall there is always enough kitschy humor and murder mystery to keep me interested. The guy from The Soup plays a dog breeder with 4 wives who gets poisoned and also accidental stabs himself as he is dying. Of course, all of the wives are suspects and the 4 main character have to go under cover to question them. The biggest laugh for me was when Emerson was tied up and had a chew toy ball gag that made a hilarious squeak sound.

30 Rock- Despite it's unoriginal terrorist plot, plot, 30 Rock was full of it's normal laughs. This was Jack-heavy episode and focused on his relationship with a democratic congresswoman played by Edie Falco. I think they could ride that story out for a little while. I'm really liking how they are writing Tracy these days. He's not all superstar idiot.

The Office- Not a very good episode. It's back to being in and about real office-type things, but it just took itself too seriously. I was nice to see Michael's devotion to the company over his devotion to Jan. The ping pong story was a little under cooked. I really like the "Hiya Buddy" hot dog note in the beginning. Of course, there were laughs throughout. But it's not impressing me.
