Bionic Woman, The Office, 30 Rock

Episode 2: So mad! They could have done such a good training episode. Instead, they show Jamie Sommers doing some karate and some one hand chin-ups (OK she did look pretty hot doing that) and then running. RUNNING! We know she can run fast. You need to train to be a faster runner? What a let down.

I don't know what to make of this show. Some potential for some cool moments. Some of the action scenes do deliver. Jamie breaking the guy's ribs while making out with a random guy was a good chuckle. I will hold my judgement on this show.

Question: If Will was dying, why the heck did they not use the same technology on Bionic Woman to save his own life? Kinda stupid to me. And hey it is Dr. Burke from Grey's Anatomy! Do you think he will perform surgery? Will he say some homophobic remarks to lose this job as well? Was it weird to see Dr. Burke holding a gun? Once a giver of life, he now takes it away.

The Office:

Pam and Jim are outed. Michael's spech and gathering of the two was priceless. Michael driving into the lake following his GPS... excellent. Man, I love this show. I also want to punch Ryan the temp in the face. What a slimey weasel. I love how he struck out with Pam. Best comedy on TV. I am said when all these special one hour episodes end later this month.

30 Rock:
Funny to think two similar themed shows started on NBC. Both revolved around a Saturday Night Live theme. Funny how only 30 Rock survived (bye bye Studio 60). To be honest, this show was pretty bad for 1-3 episodes last year. Then the writing became more focused, the actors understood their roles, and things started humming along. I really enjoy my Thursday NBC comedy lineup and I know I may be shot for saying this, but I think it is almost better than the old "Must See TV" days. I mean it is tough to beat Seinfeld, but Friends was vastly overrated. It wasn't that funny. The current line-up of My Name is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, and Scrubs is as solid as the KLM line (that's Krutov, Larionov, and Makarov to you hockey ignoramuses out there).

Speaking of Seinfeld, it was great to see Jerry Seinfeld guesting on this episode. The different uses of Seinfeld was midly amusing, but mostly disturbing. Seinfeld did prove once again that his acting skills are lacking, but I did like his acknowledgement of his shameless plug for his new movie, Bee Movie. (From the commercial, I find it disturbing that it looks like a bee is dating a human. I am not against interspecies dating, I just hate bees. OK I am deadly scared of them.)

30 Rock rocks! What a lame line. 30 Rock rocks!

OK I hope those are enough posts for now. You probably won't hear from me for a couple of days or so. Enjoy Thursday night viewing!

PS I forgot about Chuck and The Reaper. Still sticking with these new ones. Chuck tries hard to do everything but I really like Chuck. The Reaper... so quirky and I am enjoying it, so these guys still make my PVR cut.

Also, please all hail the PVR machine. Without it, I could not watch all these shows. Possibly my favourite invention behind the wheel, iPod, and electric toothbrush. Maybe the toilet makes that list as well.
