What I’m Watching…Monday, October 1, 2007

Despite all the new shows that premiered last week I only watched about 3 hours of TV all week. But I’m back home and back to my regularly scheduled programming. Monday is jam packed with TV goodness and there’s almost too much to choose from. Here’s a few suggestions based on my personal preference.

How I Met Your Mother | 8pm on CBS
“We’re Not Far From Here”
After seeing how the ladies are attracted to Robin’s Argentinean lover (Enrique Iglesias), Ted and Barney pretend to be out-of-town visitors, hoping the ploy will help them meet women.

Chuck | 8pm on NBC
“Chuck Versus the Helicopter”
A scientist tries to remove all secrets from Chuck’s brain, but the scientist is killed, and Casey and Sarah blame one another for the assassination. Elsewhere, Sarah goes undercover, working at a gourmet hot-dog joint.

Here’s the deal.  Many of you really loved the premiere of CHUCK, others were on the fence, and others just flat out didn’t like it (Whit & Chris).  If you are one of those not completely convinced yet and are checking out tonight’s episode to see if this show is going to be part of your normal Monday night routine, just know that tonight isn’t my favorite episode of CHUCK.  Stick around until next week’s ep (“Chuck versus the Tango”) and you’ll have a much better taste for what this show will be.  I think tonight’s episode is good, but definitely not as good as next week’s which I found funny and really charming.  I personally wish they had switched around the order of these two eps, but it’s so not something they ask me about. So give it until next week…trust me, ok?!

Prison Break | 8pm on Fox
“Call Waiting”
Someone slides an envelope containing a photo of Sara and LJ under the door of Linc’s hotel room. It might contain clues to their whereabouts. The Company Operative (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) in Panama City might help, too.

Heroes | 9pm on NBC
“Lizards”
Claire’s efforts to keep her abilities hidden are compromised by someone with a secret of his own; Suresh is ordered to look for The Haitian; Niki and Micah leave Las Vegas; Matt makes a surprising request for help.

Journeyman | 10pm on NBC
“Friendly Skies”
Dan gets an MRI after doubting his time trips, but then he vanishes from a flight with Katie and finds himself in charge of delivering a baby.
