Hey folks!!!
I'm still spinning TV series on DVD and have watched a few over the last few weeks. Here we go!!
Chuck - This series is pure, mindless fun and at times the laughs are pretty good. Chuck works at a 'Buy More' store (TV's version of a Best Buy!) but his mind was inadvertently loaded with the 'Intersect'....which is all the worlds knowledge in regards to anything terrorist and criminal. He becomes a HUGE asset to the government and he is assigned 2 'spies' or agents to guard him and use him for his vast knowledge and information. The female spy is super cute (Definitely my type!) and the other grumpy military type is fun as well. At times the show doesn't know what it wants to be....serious and violent or just plain ridiculous. The 'Buy More' scenes and the geek dudes that work there with Chuck are hilarious!. I enjoy watching this and I am quite entertained most of the time. I'll give this one a 7/10 for it's 'fun' quotient. I am currently into the 3rd season and having fun. :T
Falling Skies - This series starts to fail right from the get go!. Given the fact that this series executive producer is Steven Spielberg you would think that this is not possible......but....sadly....it is. The pilot starts off all wrong. The premise is that aliens have started to take over the World and there is a band of people trying to survive and avoid them and on occasion, trying to kill them. The series starts off mistakenly with the aliens already there and in control so you start off right into the action. Upon watching the pilot, you quickly realize that something is just not right. It moves very slowly, it's wordy, and lacking in alien action. I suppose they are trying to achieve character development but that idea falls flat in the case of this series. None of the characters are interesting in any way and the dialogue and acting fall flat. The dude (Doctor) from ER stars in this series. Sadly, I stopped watching this before I finished the first disc of season 1. :Z
5/10 stars for a very poor effort..........:roll:
