Finally! Mid-season TV Premieres that Took FOR-EV-ER to Get Here

Welcome Back to CHUCK, BIG LOVE and LOST

CHUCK (NBC)
Sunday, January 10

I first started watching Chuck – now entering its third season – shortly after one of my all-time favorite TV shows, The O.C., went off the air. I found it to be the closest substitute. (Think of Chuck as an older Seth Cohen, except as a super agent).

Many of the ancillary characters on Chuck also had some spot roles in The O.C. This is likely because it was created by Josh Schwartz, the mastermind behind The O.C. as well as Gossip Girl.

If you haven't been watching the show, now is a good time to get involved. You can catch up on some of the episodes at Hulu.

Also, this show is struggling for viewers and if it doesn't gain an audience this season, it will likely die.


BIG LOVE (HBO)
Sunday, January 10

A show about Mormons and polygamy might not sound like the most interesting TV show in the world, but keep in mind this is an HBO program. It is really quite brilliant and in my book a “can't miss” show.

Season three was amazing. It really is an intense show. I can't wait to see what is in store for Mr. Henrickson, Mrs. Henrickson, Mrs. Henrickson and Mrs. Henrickson. Possibly another Mrs. Henrickson?


LOST (ABC)
Tuesday, February 2

Prepare to have your mind blown.

I never watched this show until this year when all of the episodes surfaced for free online. You can catch all of the seasons via Netflix or Hulu. I spent the last three months watching this show and easily got addicted. I can't wait to get some answers and see how this crazy show pans out.

I know I am logically going to be disappointed somehow. The finale is too anticipated. It is like The Sopranos or the third Matrix movie, there is no way to finish up without it being disappointing.

Still, I am going to be glued to the show. I think you should be too.
