Recovery?

Last night my husband and I settled in to watch "Chuck." As some of you may remember from my last post about "Chuck," I'm getting a little frustrated with this show. This week's episode started on the journey back to a story and character I care about. Chuck did some of his own reconaissance work and was able to locate Orion - the creator of the intersect. Though it may have been a Fulcrum trap, their mission ended up being successful. It was really fun to see the General in person and to hear her compliment Chuck, especially since he may become a real spy (great guess, Will!). I really felt like the show recovered last night. The mission wasn't too outlandish - and Chuck didn't really screw it up like usual. Plus the Buy More subplot was pretty fun (I have gotten to where I really enjoy the messed-up shenanigans of Jeff and Lester - Jeffster). I am not pumped about next week's plot twist (Agent Walker - out!), but my husband reassures me that, of course, it won't stick.

Things I'm looking forward to in tv land...
  • The next new episode of "The Office" - last week's episode left me shocked! I thought I knew where it was going, but I was wrong. I am INTERESTED to see how this is all resolved.
  • The return of "My Boys" - I would venture to say again that this is the best show you're not watching. It is genuinely funny and if you even claim to be a Jim Gaffigan fan at all, then you must watch this show. Third season starts next Tuesday!
  • The next "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" - This time it's "The Duel II." I don't know if TJ's back, but I can tell you who is: CT, Adam, Diem, Brad, Ruthie, Aneesa, Robin, EVAN (!), Paula, Ryan, drama drama drama. That one is premeiring on April 8.
  • And to be totally honest with you, the last season of "The Hills" starring Lauren Conrad. She has stated that this will be her last season (good for her), so it will most likely also be mine (my husband is rejoicing somewhere). I like the show, although "The City" ended up being a little disappointing, and will stick with it till the end - premeiring on April 6.

Are you looking forward to anything?

1) Thanks for the shout-out.
2) My Boys is awesome. They used to have all the episodes on YouTube but they took them off in the middle of season 2.
3) Besides some of the reality stuff you watch (specifically the food-based shows) you and I may be TV-twins. I like the Challenges and I think I've watched every one.
