Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Sunday, January 10, 2010

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! …and Monday too! Yes, today’s the day. It’s time to grab a little Subway for dinner and settle in for the 2hour season premiere of Chuck! And just to think, there was a chance that this day would never come. Viva Buymoria!

Tonight Chuck fans will be served the first two episodes of the third season and tomorrow night we’ll see the 3rd episode.  We’ll hopefully all be watching it together. GMMR will be hosting a live Chuck chat starting right around 8pm EST tomorrow. I hope you’ll watch the show along with us.

Believe it or not, there are other shows on besides Chuck. On HBO is the season premiere of their critically acclaimed show, Big Love. For all us Battlestar Galactica fans, we get “The Plan” – a new original movie with a perspective from the Cylons POV. If you’re into The Simpsons, then you might want to check out their 20th anniversary special tonight. I rarely watch the show, but I still enjoyed Morgan Sperlock’s documentary style approach to the phenomenon behind the TV show. Between those and the rest of the Sunday night line0up, there’s plenty for your DVR to record (while you’re watching Chuck.)

They must have heard that ‘Watch Along with GMMR…Firefly‘ starts tomorrow. How kind of them.
