Glee!

Once in a while the networks get it right and release a show that EVERYONE loves (or loves to hate as the case may be). Last spring, Fox released on the world the Pilot for a “musical” show called Glee, which follows a High school Glee club, their rivals and those affected by the club. [...]

Chuck!

So the fall season is off to a roaring start. Monday night I caught most of Chuck on NBC and K-ville while the Amy was watching Dancing with the stars! I have to say, while the premise of Chuck (a computer nerd who is sent an email of critical CIA information by and old friend) [...]
