CHUCK: ‘Chuck vs. the Push Mix’

It’s hard to believe, but at the time of the construction of tonight’s “Chuck vs. the Push Mix,” the cast, crew and creative team behind CHUCK didn’t know if the show would live beyond this episode. After being picked up initially for only 13 episodes this season, tonight’s hour had the difficult task of being a season finale, a series finale, or as it turned out (thankfully) to be, a mid-season episode that will help set in motion the second half of the fourth season of CHUCK. That’s an awful lot to ask of 42 minutes of TV. But if there was anyone to do it, it was Team CHUCK.

Thankfully (or not, depending how you look at it), this isn’t the first time Chris Fedak, Josh Schwartz and team has dealt with this dilemma. In fact, having to wrap up their show mid-season only to have another shot at life is just kind of how they do things over at CHUCK. It’s not ideal, but the alternative is unbearable, so I’m going to go with being thankful and leave it at that.

DEXTER in 60 Seconds – Parody

Here’s something we haven’t talked about. Did you guys know that I’m now a DEXTER-watcher?

Yup, having heard the praise from so many of you over the past few years, I decided that I should really give the show a shot. I watched my first episode around Christmas time, and a few days after New Years I was officially caught up on the entire series. (And yes, I know that’s a lot of TV watching in one short amount of time. Listen, I never claimed to lead an exciting life). So now I get it. I get why the show has a massive fan base. It’s that good. Like, really good.

Want to watch DEXTER but just don’t have the time to play catch up? Just check out this video below and learn all you need to know. Ok, maybe not everything…but it’s pretty funny all the same.

We’ll be talking more about my experience with DEXTER on the next TV Talk Podcast. Stay tuned!

Mark Zuckerberg & Jesse Eisenberg Meet on SNL

The Facebook founder and the guy that played the Facebook founder met up last night on the SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE stage last night. And yes, it was just as awkward as you might expect.

SNL host Jesse Eisenberg, who was recently nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, was first joined by Adam Samberg who was parodying Zuckerberg, before the real Zuckerberg joined them on stage.

Did you follow that?

No.

Ok, let me try again…

So Eisenberg, Samberg and Zuckerberg are all on stage..ah, forget it, just watch the clip.
