So I've been watching the season and series premieres that strike my fancy. I've liked "Chuck" for the action/humor and clever patter. Also, twice in the pilot episode Chuck mentions Zork. And I have a fondness for Zork, since my dad was the president of the company that formed to produced Zork (and I played it long before it was commercially available). Even if the game did have one honking big flaw.
"Journeyman" is intriguing. And I like it, but it is one of those you have to PAY ATTENTION TO or you'll miss something. But it doesn't seem to be one that hinges on seeing *every* single episode or you are lost. Yes, there is a through story-line but it seems like the primary story for each of his "jumps" into the past are episode enclosed. The secondary story seems to be the through-line of his wife and job and family. As long as you go in thinking, okay he has trouble with all the real-life stuff, you can pick it up or put it down and won't get confused if you miss an ep or three.
Loved loved loved for the absurdity and cleverness and all-around storytelling of "Pushing Daisies." It is completely cute, and the way it is filmed in such bright color reminds me of the way they created Edward Scissorhands with the houses all in bright candy colors. I hope we see the Aunts again and again, because they were just too wonderful characters to let alone (The red haired Aunt most everyone will recognize, and why, yes, we've seen the dark haired Aunt before... She was Audrey in the movie version of "Little Shop of Horrors.").
Most of the season premieres have been okay - nothing really special yet. And I haven't been able to see the season finale of Eureka - but I'll see the SciFi channel streaming online of it sometime this weekend.
The "Supernatural" season premiere is tonight. And JUST IN TIME for it Gwen finished her massive meta on statistical analysis of the whys, hows, and whens of Dean Winchester touching other people. She's posted it to her LJ here:

And believe me, she's been working on this damn thing all summer long. For those who are *far* too obsessed.
