Watched - 2 weeks, Chuck Season 2 FTW.

Doctor Who, UFC 114, The Boondocks - went with the 'Juice' homage... nice, Glee - Season Finale = awesome, The Daily Show, TUF, Justified, Newsradio S3, Batman Brave and the Bold, Lie to Me - Jason Dohring/Logan from Veronica Mars as the bad guy plus Howard Hesseman = Win, The Devil & Daniel Webster/Shortcut to Happiness...

War, Inc - John Cusack flick, who I generally dig, and I read this flick it was an 'unofficial' sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank - which I love...  but, eh, this was kind of disappointing.  Not nearly as clever or introspective as GPB, and heavy-handed & preachy to boot.  Besides I always preferred to think of Grosse Pointe Blank as the unofficial sequel to Say Anything - because when you don't want to "to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career" - what better career than professional killer?

How I Met Your Mother, Season 1 - laugh tracks are painful, but Neil Patrick Harris is genius.  If the show was all Barney, all the time, I'd be all over it.  And Alyson Hannigan's awesome, 'til they started to write her as the whiny star of 'very special episodes' at the end of the season.  Still, a decent time killer - occasionally really funny - and I'll check out the next season.

Chuck, Season 2 - Chuck S1 was total geekbait, fun but a little uneven, held together by the performances of the leads - particularly the always great Adam Baldwin...  but Season 2 was completely awesome.  By the time Scott Bakula and Chevy Chase show up mid-season, I was thoroughly addicted.  Great series.
