It’s widely known that NOTHING comes on during the Summer and Winter, and that most great shows come on during the Fall and Spring seasons. Now that My Name is Earl and The Office is heading into a break before the Fall, Scrubs is moving to ABC, Monk and Psych won’t return until Mid-July, and Heroes/Chuck won’t be back until SEPTEMBER, my DVD will be very lonely this Summer, and here are the Top Ten Shows I will miss during this torture filled hiatus. (If it wasn’t for good movies this time of year, I’d have to take desperate measures.)
Heroes-I love Monk, but I haven’t had any Heroes since December, that’s a long time to wait for Sylar to wreak some havoc.
Monk-Knowing that this could be the last season of my favorite TV Show, I’m wanting it to be the best season ever!
Chuck-I haven’t had any Chuck since January, and with a plot to kill Chuck in loom, I’m wanting some more humor in my TV diet.
Mythbusters-Where are the Mythbusters? (According to Wikipedia, I missed 2 episodes)
Psych-I sure do miss the goofy antics of Shawn and Gus
My Name is Earl-Sure, it’s not over yet, but something tells me this Season Finale will do something that will make me miss ol’ Earl.
The Office-It’s not over yet either, but I’ll miss it too.
Scrubs-With it moving to a new channel and new possibilities for JD Moments, I’ll miss it a lot.
The Third Season/Volume of Heroes, Villains, will be premiering this September. The show, as you may know from either the news or my whining, was halted due to the writer’s strike. I’ve been experiencing withdrawal for the past 5 1/2 months. However, a light is now shining at the end of the tunnel in the form of a title for the newest episode, only referred to as “The Butterfly Effect” by TV.com. The new episode is scheduled to premiere on September 15 later this year. Below is what we’ve seen so far of Season 3.
One of my favorite new shows of last year was Chuck, a show about a guy named Chuck who accidentally gets all of the army’s secrets downloaded into his brain. The show was really great, and genuinely funny, and now it is scheduled for release on DVD on September 16th. The 4 disc set will include all 13 hour long episodes (when I first read on Wikipedia that there were 13 episodes, I forgot it was an hour long show):
Chuck Versus the Intersect (Pilot)
Chuck Versus the Helicopter
Chuck Versus the Tango
Chuck Versus the Wookiee
Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp
Chuck Versus the Sandworm
Chuck Versus the Alma Mater
Chuck Versus the Truth
Chuck Versus Imported Hard Salami
Chuck Versus his Nemesis
Chuck Versus the Crown Vic
Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover
Chuck Versus the Marlin
The set will also include special features such as Declassified Scenes, 2 Featurettes-Chuck’s World, Chuck on Chuck, Gag Reel, Gallery of Web Features, and a playable demo of Madden 09. I will definitely be picking up this great-sounding box set when it hits stores this fall. Below is a box art.
Today is the day that we celebrate the greatness of mothers, you know those people who help you when you’re down or yell at you for no telling what reason. To celebrate this day of remembering the greatness of mothers, here’s a clip from Heroes where Claire meets her own mother.
Here’s a clip from the most recent episode of Scrubs, My Waste of Time, also a hillarious clip of Doug from The King of Queens showcasing “Man Breast Theater”.
Another Monk DVD to add to my collection, Monk: Season 6, including the episodes:
Mr. Monk and his Biggest Fan
Mr. Monk and the Rapper
Mr. Monk and the Naked Man
Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend
Mr. Monk Birds and the Birds and the Bees
Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure
Mr. Monk and the Daredevil
Mr. Monk and the Wrong Man
Mr. Monk is up All Night
Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa Claus
Mr. Monk Joins a Cult
Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank
Mr. Monk and the Three Julies
Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece
Mr. Monk is On the Run Parts 1 and 2
All of them will come in a 4-disc Widescreen collection and will retail at Amazon for $40. This wasn’t my favorite season (#2 and #5 are still the kings!) but it still provided some good laughs. The box art for this DVD collection and Psych Season 2 is below.
