You look horribly familiar...

I have mentioned this many a time before but I really like Monday night television. It has 4 of the shows I like the most ("Big Bang Theory", "How I Met Your Mother", "Castle", and "Chuck" - all of which contain at least one person that has worked on something with Mr Joss Whedon). Tonight was the season finale for Big Bang Theory and Castle. They were both quite enjoyable. I only really started watching "Castle" because of Mr. Nathan Fillion who I loved in so many things ("Firefly"/"Serenity", "Waitress", "SLiTHER" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" to name a few) and I really started enjoying it. Nathan Fillion plays arrogantly charming quite well. He also plays charmingly loathsome quite well, as shown by his character, Captain Hammer, in "Dr. Horrible".
In addition to the fact that it was "Castle" night, it was also "How I Met Your Mother" night which contains another of my favourites - Mr. Neil Patrick Harris, who is hysterically shameless as Barney Stinson.
So the combination of Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris both having TV shows on the same night, plus the fact that I decided to re-watch "Dr. Horrible",which stars them both (and also co- stars Simon Helberg (aka Wolowitz) from "Big Bang Theory"), made it quite the awesome night for TV.
I continue to urge people to check out "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog"; the trailer for which is available below:

So today's favourite thing is a night of TV that contains a whole lot of both Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. Adam Baldwin would be in there too if a) "Chuck"'s season hadn't ended two weeks ago and b) he had also been in "Dr. Horrible."

PS. There are rumours going around about a sequel to "Dr. Horrible" so look out for it on a computer near you. I will no doubt post something on my blog when it is known for sure.

Same topic, different post

Before Christmas, I wrote a post about the TV show "Chuck." It is one of my favourite shows and it is rising in the ranks I will probably soon be my absolute favourite show (provided it gets a third season, which is not done deal quite yet). Since I've already had a post naming "Chuck" as my favourite thing, I feel like I would be somewhat cheating to do it again. Instead, tonight's post is going to focus on why I like it and why I think more people should watch it. Here are some of the reasons why I love Chuck:

• It's funny
• It's suspenseful
• It's an action show
• It's romantic
• It's goofy
• It has Adam Baldwin (better known as Jayne from Firefly) and he's pretty awesome
• It has a character whose nickname actually is "Captain Awesome"
• It blends humour and emotion very well
• It has creepy yet hilarious characters
• It pays homage to so many different shows that it's a matter of trying to pick them out.

Here's a crash course in all things "Chuck".

All in all, I will be very disappointed if Chuck doesn't get another season. It's a pretty awesome show with awesome characters and a character named "Awesome" which is pretty....cool. My lecture about Chuck is now done, but please check it out.

Oh, awesome!

Pretty much everyday, when I first go on the internet, I flip through all of my homepage tabs and see what's happening. When I got to my blog and looked at my blogroll (the place on the left hand side of my blog entitled "Blogs I Enjoy"), I got very excited. One of the blogs I follow called The Park Bench had chosen January's Nerd Man of the Month. Not only that, but this month's awesome Nerdy man was Jim Parsons. For those that don't know, Jim Parsons plays the neurotic, humorously socially bewildered theoretical physicist, Sheldon Cooper, on the Big Bang Theory (a show that routinely cracks me up). Sheldon pretty much exemplifies the definition of "nerd" so it was only a matter of time before he (or the actor that plays him)became the Nerd Man of the Month. Past Nerdy men include John Krasinski (Jim Halpert, Awesome!), Neil Patrick Harris (Do I need to explain who he is?), Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Angel, Chuck), Nathan Fillion (Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, Firefly, Waitress), James Gunn (SLiTHER), and Joss Whedon, among others.
