Three Reasons to Watch NBC’s Chuck

Okay, Isaac and I both agree that people should watch the NBC show Chuck. There’s several reasons why I think you should watch it, but since Isaac decided to sway the masses with eye candy of the women of the show, I feel obligated to show the other side: the men! So, it’s time to do a little good ol’ fashioned oogling.

“My Boys” - Hey… Why Can’t They be Mine?

Does this subject title make me sound scandalous? I hope so. Cause I am, you know. Very scandalous. 50 Cent is going to write a song about me and my scandalousness (or, scandalosity). Truth. But for now, we have other things to talk about.

My Boys (the TBS sitcom set in Chicago) has a season premiere coming up…let’s see…it’s on June 12th! So, Thursday night, park it on your sofa *cough* by 9:30 p.m. The cliffhanger left you wondering which of several prime candidates she picked to take a trip to Italy with her. I actually know (TBS contacts, woo) but I’m not supposed to tell you. And you know what? I’m not gonna! You have to watch and see.

I can tell you that she did not pick Matthew McConaughey - yet he does make a sort of appearance in the show tomorrow night.

Jordana Spiro stars in My Boys as PJ Franklin aka Penelope Jane. (Personally, I’d rather be called Penelope Jane - that’s so cute!) Playing her brother, Andy, is Jim Gaffigan. You probably know him from the animated Pale Force he voices with Conan O’brien.

My crush of the show? (Sorry Jim, it’s not you.)

On my Hiatus I Saved the Cheerleader, then the World!

Sofachip is now off hiatus (we have no remarkable tans to show off - a grave oversight), so you can stop holding your breathe! You were holding your breathe until we returned, right? Good. Good. I certainly missed you all.  I think it’s only natural to come back and talk about  my new favorite TV show: Heroes!

Synposis: How one die-hard TV fangirl rejected Heroes only to come back to it almost two years later and fall in love. (The wedding is next spring.)

When Heroes first aired, I watched the pilot and I didn’t dig it. Seriously. I was like, “Eh, superheroes. Eh, too many characters who don’t even meet. Eh, maybe America’s Next Top Model is on instead.” I’m ashamed, but I’m being truthful! I think I watched maybe one other episode (the second) and I decided it just wasn’t for me. And that’s where I thought my story ended. *Cue anticipating music* But it had only just begun…

When my beloved Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) joined the Heroes season two cast, I decided I had to watch. Then, my love for Gilmore Girls alum Milo Ventimiglia was rekindled. So, you probably think I was on board with it all, then. But no. With the strike (a necessary evil), I lost interest. But then I wrangled up the few episodes I missed and I felt love reborn. It was then that I went to my local library website and ordered season one. I didn’t even have to wait that long, only 28 years! (Kidding, maybe three months.)

Now, I write to you having seen every episode (some of them twice). I love this show. I don’t know how I could have been so blind. The stories all intertwine, and I ended up caring about almost every single one of them. This includes the characters we only got to know for a handful of episodes (wah!) like ….well, you know.

See, I won’t write a spoiler here. Because if you haven’t seen Heroes season one yet, I am imploring you to make that your summer mission! Missions are cool, and they don’t have to be impossible. (Dear Mission Impossible movie people, I only watched the last one because Felicity’s Keri Russel was supposed to be in it. Well, I think you know why I’m upset. Refund me!)

So, go buy the DVD box set! We have handy Amazon links for you on our page here whenever you’re ready to purchase it. Heroes season one is addictive, so remember to pace yourselves while watching.

Heroes’ Milo Ventigmilia: Why One Australian Fan Loves Him

Today we have an exclusive Sofachip interview with Sherrie Sherwood, who owns and operates a popular Milo Ventimiglia community on Livejournal.com. I chatted with the friendly Aussie about Heroes, the ridiculous nature of tabloids, and Milo’s last name. Some of her favorite pictures of Milo are peppered throughout this post. Let’s go!

What year did you start the Livejournal community Milo_fans?

I started it 7th of May 2007. And hey, it’s been one whole year now! Aawww, I wish I’d caught that, I could of made a 1 year anniversary post.

Yes, most definitely my favourite actor. David Duchovny used to be my favourite, and I never thought I’d ever find an actor in my lifetime that I like more than David, but then I watched Heroes and David was pushed to second place. Other actors that I like besides Milo and David are Tony Leung, Cathrine Zeta Jones, and a lot of other actors.

Heroes, after that I chased up all the other shows and movies he’s been in. The Apple iBook advert

Heroes Plot! (Spies Infiltrate Secret Meeting)

When I sit perfectly still, I am able to focus on at least five different parts of my body that are achingly sore or in some sort of pain. That’s just not right! (Or fair.) As you know, I’ve been watching season three of House M.D. - and in a recent episode House was saying that pain causes depression. Gah, really? Who would’ve thought!

I’ve put some fresh flowers next to my computer monitor, because flowers seem to be a nice pick-me-up. They’re prettiful. I’m also listening to Beck’s Odelay album, since it won’t make me fall asleep.

I’m sure you think I’m about to talk about House now, but that would be so predictable. Instead, I’ll confuse you by posting some pictures of  Kristen Bell, Milo Ventimiglia, Dax Shepard, and Zachary Quinto. Most of them are on Heroes. One of them is dating one. And one of them forgot to brush their teeth. So, hey, does this mean that Heroes is filming now? I think it is. I hope they take my plot suggestion of having Milo swim around a lot. I mean, I just want him to get exercise. It has nothing to do with shirtlessness. I mean it. He can wear his shirt if he wants! See if I care. (La, La, La. This is me. Not caring.)

Click on a picture to make it larger. And maybe glow in the dark. Who knows?

Kristen’s Ugg-boot-thingys with those pants make her look very equestrian. Meanwhile, Dax is channeling his inner Scott Speedman aka Ben Covington (Felicity).

I named this file: Milo Check It, because those were the first words that came to my mind. Milo looks at the camera and even though you can’t see his eyes, I can tell they’re saying ‘hey guys, check it!’ Or something. Aside: Why is Zachary Quinto wearing that shirt?
