What to Watch…Monday, October 8, 2007
October 8, 2007 by Kath Skerry
Today is a weird day. I’ve always considered Columbus Day a holiday, but I guess it’s not for some (including those at my real job). Is it a holiday for you?
Anyway, a bit behind this morning but here’s a look at what’s on the ol’ TV tonight. Lots to watch, so double check the TiVos to make everything is set up to go. And if you don’t have a TiVo, how do you choose which show to watch?
How I Met Your Mother | 8pm on CBS
“Third Wheel”
Two beautiful women are attracted to Ted and rather than choose, he begins, with the urging of his friends, to see a new daring possibility. Trudy: Danica McKellar. Rachel: Busy Philipps.
The Big Bang Theory | 8:30pm on CBS
“The Fuzzy Boots Corollary”
With the encouragement of his friends, Leonard gathers his courage and asks a woman out on a date. Leslie: Sara Gilbert. Doug: Allen Nabors.
So I wasn’t all that impressed with the pilot episode of “The Big Bang Theory”. It didn’t strike me as all that funny. But more than a few of you have checked it out over the past few week’s and have used the “So Say We All” forum to tell me (and others) just how much you’ve been laughing. Since I trust your opinion, I am going to give this show another watch tonight. I’m always looking for a good laugh and maybe I rushed to judgment a little too quickly on this one.
Chuck | 8pm on NBC
“Chuck Versus the Tango”
It’s the revenge of the nerd when Chuck delves into his very first undercover spy mission: He tries to take down a mysterious, elusive arms dealer named La Ciudad. Elsewhere, in his real life, he sets out to become assistant store manager.
Can I just say that if you haven’t fallen head over heels for Zachary Levi (Chuck Bartowski) yet, tonight may be the night. I got an early look at tonight’s episode and I really loved it. I think this show is at its best when it brings out the funny and it does just that tonight. Chuck isn’t landing helicopters like he was last week, but he tackles something far more complicated…the tango, with the one person that can show him how it’s done – Captain Awesome.
Prison Break | 8pm on Fox
“Good Fences”
After failing to rescue LJ and Sara, Linc receives an ominous warning from the Company; Michael plans an electrifying escape from Sona; a face from the past haunts Mahone; T-Bag crawls up the ladder while Bellick lands in hot water with Lechero.
Heroes | 9pm on NBC
“Kindred”
Suresh fears for a friend after unearthing a painting by Isaac that foretells death. Ando returns to Japan and makes a happy discovery; while in the past, Hiro is surprised by his childhood hero, Kensei. And two familiar faces return unexpectedly.
Journeyman | 10pm on NBC
“Game Three”
Dan is transported back 18 years to warn San Francisco of a looming disaster and prevent a man from entering a life of addiction. In the present, Katie learns Dan has been in contact with Livia, despite his claims to the contrary.

- Dancing with the Stars | 8pm on ABC
- Two and a Half Men | 9pm on CBS
- Rules of Engagement | 9:30pm on CBS

I will be watching Chuck and Heroes. Haven’t found anything solid for the 10pm hour, but all that means is I can go to bed early!
Mondays make my head hurt. I’ll sit down to watch Chuck, Heroes and Journeyman. Somehow I’ll find time later in the week to watch PB, HIMYM, and Dancing with the Stars online. Thank God these networks offer their shows online so I don’t have to play favorites (or spend money I don’t have on DVR 🙂 ).
OMG, Danica McKellar is coming back to HIMYM again? She was hysterical on the show in S1.
Niiiiice.

Let’s see…I’ll be watching HIMYM and Heroes. I’ll record The Bachelor and watch it after Heroes and record PB and watch it tomorrow. I’m slowly starting to not care about PB anymore 🙁 Oh, and during commercials I’ll flip it to DWTS lol
Tonight is Chuck, and thankfully that is all.
Also – today is not a holiday for me – I’m pretty sure it never has been (as in, throughout my entire life). But, my son is out of school today so 25% of my family is observing Columbus Day. 😉
I’ve been watching HIMYM, and taping (yes, with a good old VCR, because I’m a poor college student) NBC’s full lineup.
I’ll probably catch up on PB via the net if need be. I skipped it last week, and by reading recaps, it looks like I didn’t miss that much.
I have no interest in Dancing with the Stars. I suppose they’re the ratings winner generally?
I couldn’t make it though the pilot of Big Bang (despite me being a big nerd, I just didn’t find the show to be well-written). I’ll maybe give it another try someday later in the season.
Oh, as for the holiday thing, school was called off for both me (college) and my younger sisters (high school), but in South Dakota, we called it Native American Day- more politically correct I suppose, and anyway Columbus was a jerk. I don’t think any other states do that, do they?
I watched Chuck (first time…I’m in love with it now! New-found appt tv!) and am currently watching Heroes. Been with this one from the beginning. 😀
So my Monday started with Dancing with the Stars (by the way Julianne and Helio were totally robbed of points) and also Chuck. Then I started watching Heroes and switching to The Bachelor between commericals.
I have to say Chuck is a great show and I am impressed with it. Zachary Levi has the cutest smile!
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was entirely
right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine just how much
time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
