Top Five Favorite Shows To Watch

Ok, so I haven't posted a blog in a while.... a long while. Well that all changes today! A quick side note before we get started. I've started a twitter account, jubers_nitner, as you can see on the left. Relax, I'm not going to be tweeting every time I'm frustrated about something or laugh-fart. That's not it's purpose. Mainly it's because I enjoy following a few famous people/columnists that I read regularly twitter accounts and this makes it easier to read them. I will probably make random tweets from time to time and also retweet things that I thought were funny/interesting. Anyways..... back to the post!

Psych

Me and my friend, Matt "Dust Bunny" Waite have spent many conversations discussing the brilliance of this show.

Premise: Two lifelong friends (one with keen observation skills, the other with the 'super sniffer' work freelance for the police department solving crimes.

Brilliance: The quick wit, love of all things 80's, and pop culture references.

Favorite moment: In the latest episode, Shawn and Gus disguise themselves in an original battlestar galactica helmet and Jorrie's glasses from star trek to follow a suspect.

Big Bang Theory

A half hour of content based around five homosapiens, three male, one female, one acquaintance.

Premise: Four nerdy friends (Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj) integrate their attractive neighbor (Penny) into their lives.

Brilliance: Anything Sheldon Cooper does.

Favorite Moment: The face Sheldon makes upon receiving his Saturn Day (Christmas) gift from Penny, a signed used napkin from Leonard Nimoy.

Chuck

Chuck might be the first nice guy not to finish last. Dude gets some attractive ladies.

Premise: Nerd herder downloads software that makes him the ultimate spy, with a few glitches.

Brilliance: Chuck's relationship with those around him. Sarah, his dream girl, Casey his big brother, Morgan his best friend, Ellie his sister, and Awesome his man crush.

Favorite Moment: Episode where Morgan finds out that Chuck is a spy and isn't upset.

Friday Night Lights

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Premise: Follows the lives of the coaches and players of a small Texas town's football team.

Brilliance: The fact that the show isn't really a sports show. It's a really strong character show that uses sports to advance their character development.

Favorite Moment: Second episode when coach takes his sophomore qb out to the stadium and explains to him that it's not about completing passes, it's about being a leader.

V

A slow starting show that keeps getting better.

Premise: Aliens show up pretending to be peaceful, but are engaged in a covert war with a faction of humans who know their true reason for coming to earth (I just earned 5 nerd points).

Brilliance: Making Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet from Lost) the lead character, forcing me to watch this show, then actually making it good.

Favorite Moment: Seeing what the visitors look like under their human skin.
