When Rosie told me, it made me even sadder that I wouldn't be able to tease him tomorrow about what he said about Nathan last July at Comic Con...

*in case you hadn't heard the story, Adam was checking for me to see if Nathan was going to be at the Dr. Horrible screening, when he got his phone out, I said, 'you gonna tweet him'? Adam scoffed and said something to the effect that he did thing the old fashioned way, he'd text! Which he did...he then said, 'whenever I hear 'tweet' I think 'tweak'...Nathan is 'tweaking on his crackberry'!' Of course we busted up. (oh, and in short order, he looked at his phone and said, 'naw, he's not gonna be there'....I love that they keep in touch and have each other on 'speed dial'.*

I really wish we could be going down to LAX tomorrow....*sigh*...

Seriously .

I'm not sure I've ever heard of a television cast staying so tight .
It's nice here with a view of the trees

Nathan said, in a recent article about his career, that "Firefly" was, and always will be the BEST job he ever had. *sigh*

'Chuck' readies for return -- too bad about the timeslot
by Margaret Lyons

Traditionally, advent calendars count down to Christmas, but I'm considering adding a few more days onto mine it counts down to Chuck. Because I am so, so excited.

Holy Chucking hell, does that look awesome. Except for one thing: Chuck will be on at 8 p.m. on Mondays, against The Bachelor, How I Met Your Mother, House, One Tree Hill, and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. (I can't believe I'm factoring in that teen pregnancy schmaltzfest, but I am — it gets 4 million viewers.) Pssst. NBC. This timeslot is not working for Chuck! It was bad news bears last year, and NBC has even less clout now; can Chuck survive another ratings struggle?

In my imaginary fairy princess world of candy and symbiosis, Chuck could nudge out The Jay Leno Show one glorious night a week and take a 10 p.m. slot, but I know that's not going to happen. Marginally more realistically (though still under the authority of whimsical royalty), what about Sunday nights? Once football ends in February, I'd put Chuck on instead of two hours of The Apprentice.

Are you as stoked for season three as I am, PopWatchers? And what do you think would be Chuck's magic timeslot?

Margaret's right ~ Chuck is going to have a tough time with ratings. FOX will rule Mondays (although CBS will be close too) with House and American Idol (back in Jan). (Doesn't it boggle the mind? FOX. Who knew?!)

The video sneak peek is awesome though.

Now there's talk of Heroes ending this season. http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b156121_this_just_in_heroes_expected_end_ugly.html?utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=imdb_tv-movies

...after watching the sneak peek vid *tries to contain fangurl squeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Sure gonna miss House.

:happy:

Pearl@32

I'll probably pay more attention to House because NBC is on On Demand. I'll be flipping channels though. 'Course if I'dve gotten a DVR we wouldn't be having this conversation.

DVRs are worth their weight in gold.

The DVR and big screen are out in Jessi's apartment...I think I'm gonna buy the girl a loveseat for out there...I wanna be comfortable.  :headbang:

Now I'm toying with the idea of getting another box to put in here...I just remembered I'm gonna be purty much in bed for two months come week after next. I need a better tv in that little bedroom too. Now I wish I'd gone ahead and gotten one of the 'new fangled' ones they had on Black Friday. They were small, but they'd be better than the $79 ones we got the kids for their rooms when we moved to the old house!
