Digging in and Reviewing the NBC Lineup of Fall Shows (there’s the: New, Old, Good, Bad, & Ugly)

Yvonne Strahovski is Sarah Walker and Zachary Levi is Chuck Bartowski on CHUCK

I randomly picked the NBC network to feature (mostly cause I was watching their Thursday night lineup when I decided to do this, so oops - the secret’s out) for this review. Let’s take a look at EVERYTHING they have to offer us TV viewers. In the big buffet of entertainment there’s no need to waste time watching the less than stellar and missing out on gold.

NBC Shows on Saturday

You’ve got Knight Rider at 8 p.m. which I would never-ever watch, and I’d recommend the same to you if you value your braincells. Later on Saturday Night Live (SNL) is on at 11:30. It always has potential to be great. For moi, deciding whether or not to tune into SNL depends greatly on the guest host and musical act. Also, I just have to say:  I miss Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey. Sigh.

NBC Shows on Sunday

I don’t really watch any TV on Sunday.  But if you like sports or news, you’ll be happy to tune into NBC on Sundays. Otherwise, you can do something away from the TV…or, WHO am I kidding, watch one of your Netflixed movies!

NBC Shows on Monday

Okay, this is a GREAT night for TV. At 8 p.m. there’s Chuck, and at 9 p.m. there’s Heroes. Those are two amazing shows and should be watched with surround sound. At 10 p.m. there’s the Christian Slater show My Own Worst Enemy. I don’t watch this because I’m not a huge fan of action/action/action/boom! shows. If it was a movie, I’d probably give it a shot. But since it’s a TV series, I’m just not willing to get invested in it. (I hope Christian Slater will still invite me to his pool parties.)

NBC Shows on Tuesday

There’s a whole bevvy of shows I don’t watch here, like: The Biggest Loser, Law and Order: SVU

Joshua Gomez is Morgan Grimes and Julia Ling is Anna on CHUCK

NBC Shows on Wendesday

Life comes on at 8 p.m. I hear good things about it, and it’s supposed to be really all sorts of amazing. But I don’t feel like I have time to watch it…so I don’t. :X There’s also Law & Order at 9 p.m. (I’d rather watch the SVU edition than this one.)

NBC Shows on Thursday

This is the night NBC has been trying to reclaim ever since Friends and Will & Grace left the air. They’re actually (finally) doing pretty well. Starting at 8 p.m. you’ve got My Name is Earl, Kath & Kim, The Office, 30 Rock, and finally ER. I don’t watch the first or last shows I’ve listed, but the three comedies in the middle are sometimes the best part of my entire friggin’ week.

>> Kath & Kim quick review: I never saw the original Aussie series, which may be why I like this one and don’t feel like it can’t measure up to the other. It’s a great screwball comedy, and it’s full of really BRIGHT colors and nonsense served up just the way i like it. Kath and Kim are both always smiling (I bet they go to San Diego invisalign) and in turn, it makes me smile. It’s not yet an unmissable show for me, but it might become one later on. Kath and Kim are not my new BFF’s right now, but I WILL answer their calls and meet for sushi.

NBC Shows on Friday

Deal or No Deal - oh man, how is this still on air!? At 9 p.m. there’s Crusoe which I have zero interest in and haven’t even ever accidentally watched. Ten p.m. brings you Lipstick Jungle, which is yet another show I don’t watch. This is the kind of night I’d call ugly.

Aaaand, that’s your week with NBC TV!
