One of the stories that got me most excited at the
TCA press tour this summer was NBC's decision to put three series with sci-fi elements together on Monday nights. Tonight, we'll get out first look at how that strategy works out when
"Chuck" and
"Journeyman" premiere and
"Heroes" returns for its second season.
The strategy seems smart because while each show has its own audience, I think the three could overlap.
The attention at the
TCA press tour shifts to CBS today, but there are still a few great NBC tidbits to share from the network's two days at the press tour:
- "Chuck" star Zachary Levi (above), Pop's new favorite person, took first place in a live version of "The Singing Bee" at NBC's all-star party on Tuesday night, beating out Scott Porter of "Friday Night Lights", an Us Weekly writer, and a tone-deaf TV critic. The highlight: Levi's perfect rendition of the chorus from "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Oh, the mid-'90s.
The networks have announced
their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting
my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
