I enjoyed the NBC three well enough tonite: Chuck, Heroes, Journeyman.

Laurel likes Chuck a lot, her favorite new show. better than Reaper (I am guessing I will agree)
2007 September 24 Laurel’s TV Picks - Featured Pick Series premiere of Chuck : The title character is a twenty-something guy who works for the “Nerd Herd” at “Buy More” despite being a smart guy with good college degree. Don’t confuse Chuck with Reaper, which has a vaguely similar premise and will debut later tomorrow on the CW. In that show, the characters work at a Home Depot knock-off, not a Best Buy knockoff. And the supporting players on that show are pretty darn annoying (one in particular). That show is cruder and ruder, though fun at times (in the first one, I haven’t seen additional episodes yet). This show has more to it and should appeal to a broader audience (assuming they can take a chance on it and just go with the premise).

TeeVee also says Chuck is best hourlong premiere and notes similarity with Reaper in premise
TeeVee.net - Fall 2007 Preview: Chuck : Do Not Adjust Your Set: Wait a minute... nerdy hero stuck in boring, go-nowhere job... Sucked into a world of intrigue and adventure by forces beyond his control... Semi-annoying sidekick. I thought "Reaper" was on Tuesday nights.

int, Mo Ryan does not like Chuck much: The Watcher - 'Chuck' and the dangers of 'spy-fi' dramedy
and, huh, Mo Ryan does like Reaper, esp Ray Wise as the Devil: The Watcher - The fine 'Reaper' shows some sympathy for the Devil

I like the character of Chuck. like Jim on The Office.
..on actor Zach Levi's imdb a forum comment also said that. others said he's hotter - and photos show the actor looking rather different, darker..
and Sarah Lancaster maybe has a decent role here, likeable as sister.

on Heroes, I mainly only like Clare scenes. think I like that actress, Hayden Panetierre or so.

the lead on Journeyman was pleasant enough to watch, though plot seemed to move too fast him getting used to idea that he is someone who takes trips and his wife not listening at all and then completely* when he digs ring up from below patio. I am int by ' his late fiancee Livia (Moon Bloodgood).'
..looks to me like James Woods. a lot. but I enjoyed his char more than that of Woods on Shark. on imdb did not find that comparison, but rather to whathisname from Breakfast Club Michael ah Anthony Michael Hall. I see that aspect, he looks like a cross btw the two maybe, coloring and sth from Hall, expressions like Woods. in forum they say Daniel Craig the new James Bond instead of Woods. who I have not seen so..

Why It Will Be First To Go:	You know what kind of time-travel shows people have always embraced? heh: Ones that take themselves seriously. Deadly seriously. Emphasis on "deadly."
Why It Won't:	Bringing up the rear of the "Chuck"-"Heroes" Parade o' Silly Sci-Fi for the Kids, you figure that the mighty inertia of the geek demographic will keep this show afloat long enough for it to lighten up a little bit.

Tim Goodman: Reviews: 'Journeyman,' 'Chuck' and 'Bionic Woman': Unfortunately, his erratic behavior has his editor believing he needs to find a 12-step program, and his wife, Katie (Gretchen Egolf), doesn't know what to think. That's part of the problem, however. She's not curious enough - more annoyed that he's missing for stretches than intrigued by the idea of time travel. yeah that's what bothered me.
On the other hand, the series steps up a notch, revealing an innate sense of humor (cell phone jokes, references to the changing times, styles, etc.). huh like people looking at him funny bcs of his cell phone ear piece I guess. It also allows McKidd to shine as Mr. Fix-It, even though he never wanted the task. Some of the subtext needs more episodes to provide breathing room. For example, his fiancee, Livia (Moon Bloodgood), who died years ago, is popping up in his time traveling (and not always in context). And there's the little issue of his wife having dated his brother Jack (Reed Diamond), a police officer. The four of them hung out quite a bit back in the day, before Livia died and Dan stole Katie from Jack.
While that might provide romantic fodder for future episodes, the time traveling and problem solving is the real core of "Journeyman," and if you can overlook some distressing questions about how he does it without getting caught (or divorced or institutionalized), this is a series that may overcome its own contrivances to really succeed.
