TSCC is by far my favorite of the season as I try not to get too close to shows anymore since they are all canceled. The episode was a deep thinker as I almost had to think about the consequences of this guy going back in time and doing what is possible to correct an “accident”. Great show. But I to would probably enjoy just watching Cameron/Summer paint a fence for an hour.

Good. I’m glad Chuck is moving up. It is the best show on television and I hope more people start watching.

I think the reason so many people are watching How I Met Your Mother repeats is that nobody watched the show last year, or the year before, so they’re new to them. Just a guess though.

TSSC is far and away my favorite show on TV right now. It’s a drama with action, not the other way around. Which is how I like it. I hope Fox sticks with it next year.

Heroes still has it’s moments but it’s a mess.

Clutz – thanks! I’ll be here all week. Tip your waitresses!

And rock on about watching House and Fringe. Tuesdays are really the only day’s where I look forward to my Tv menu in the evenings, because of Fringe mainly. And since we are coming into winter hiatus, I’m trying to make sure I watch or DVR every last new episode I can get – for all the shows I stay with.

I kinda wish I had ditched Heroes at the beginning of this season too. Sylar’s development kept catching my interest and making me tune in, but I doubt even the power of Sylar’s pretty can save that show. At least, not for me, anyway.

“TSCC was a rather pointless episode focusing on some terminator who accidentally was sent to 1920 and Summer had to figure out where he was now. For a terminator to seal himself up inside a wall with a Tommy Gun for 85 years just to kill some politician in 2010, was absurd beyond belief. WTF would he do that and risk someone opening up the wall for remodeling some day? Or more to the point, why not kill him before when he was born? Or kill his Mom. But seeing Summer made it worth watching. Sproing!!!!!!!!”

Actually that episode made perfect sense if you kinda followed the story. That terminator was sent back to 1920 by mistake, and the transport ended up killing the son of the land developer that was supposed to make that building. The murder of the governor had to happen in that building, since I am assuming that is how it had before and that’s how skynet knew to sent the terminator in the first place. The terminator had the building created, and since his company came owned the land, to reset the history it accidentally disrupted. Like someone else said, sealing himself up to pop out at the right moment is perfect machine logic. Plus, do we even know that the terminator’s power supply would have lasted 80 years without him shutting down somewhere? This isn’t the first time that we have seen a terminator run a mission and shut down so it could reactivate years later…

Every time travel show I have seen, including Star Trek, has warned about screwing with time. Maybe the terminator could not just kill the mother of the politician, because she, or maybe the politician himself, did something in their earlier life that somehow benefited skynet.

Anyway I agree about Summer Glau. I would watch a show about her painting a fence for an hour.

Mel: ‘ “I literally said, “Good God, this is made of suck!” ‘
ROFLMAO!!! Thanks for the fun!

I have not watched Heroes since this season’s premiere BTW. I have reached the point of honestly not knowing what’s on TV on any night except Tuesday (House and Fringe). Tonight’s the first Tuesday in a while that I’ll actually watch the shows live, rather than DVR them and start after the Pens game

Just like last season, Tariq, Samantha Who? can’t survive without DwtS.

Samantha Who? is down over 50% !!!!!!!!!!

Just expected.

CBS in repeats, ABC without DWTS. I expected a bigger increase in Heroes, serious.

I believe CBS is pushing repeats earlier this year with Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother because they are hoping to have Christmas episodes this year.

“If i read this correctly terminator got the least amount of boost while chuck and heros got 10 and 11% increases in ratings.While terminator only got 9% well we all know how this is going to end up”

I think you’re missing the point here…I’m pretty sure that what Robert Seidman meant by that was the fact that nobody really expected ANY increase, so to get 9% is, well, kinda a big deal.

love Prison Break, can’t wait to see how it ends. I hope Chuck has enough of a late season surge to be brought back, it’s a fun show although Chuck himself occasionally annoys the hell out of me.

this is the piece of good news I was hoping for

About Heroes, it isn’t as bad as people are saying it is. It’s just become one of those things people love to hate. Personally, I was disillusioned from the last episode. Especially the very ending. Lame.

Glad to see Chuck popping back up, hopefully this will continue.

And Terminator, I’m not a die-hard fan of the show, and I didn’t watch it. It’s never really made me anticipate the next episode or anything, it’s just not that exciting. Oh well, it’s in the crapper.

Too late! Oops, that NBC not CW, though the way NBCs ratings have declined, its not that far away from CW.

Chuck wasn’t as ho-hum as it has been, I acutally laughed alot last night. Heroes was dismal. I tried to watch it. Got past the Sylar/Elle “thing”…then the dialog just went…in the crapper.

I literally said, “Good God, this is made of suck!” and flipped to the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The plot and the dialog was groan-inducing, thus count me amongs those who ran screaming after the half-hour for Heroes. Should have flipped sooner.

“HEROES? Still just blahhhh. Eclipse over, everyone gets power back and blah, blah, blah. And, since when to eclipses last for hours in one spot. The longest ones Ive ever seen last several minutes, tops. Unless someone slowed the Moon down its impossible to last that long. Even if ratings managed to pop a little, they need to plan their exit strategy before it becomes too silly.”

Hey Joe Cool: Thanks for backing me up.

Hey its it was a nice episode. I confess I watched last weeks episode one week later. I guess I will watch TSCC until FOX takes it away. Sigh.

Its nice to get a episode on Cam (Summer Glau). She/It…whatever is hottie.

Heroes is keeping its loyalists. Please guys plan the end of the show this year. Go out with your heads up.

CBS repeat is better than other networks fresh shows!

And other networks shows earn a little ratings from CBS repeat.

They are all happy.

^ No, it wasn’t absurd. It was the type of logic you’d expect from a machine.

Nothing else worth watching.
