I tried "Journeyman" because I'm a sucker for time travel narratives (I even wrote my dissertation on time travel movies), but never really got beyond the first episode. But what I really wanted to mention (and complain about) is the sheer number of movie and TV shows either featuring characters named "Chuck" or "Chuck" in their titles. I'd be fine with it, but two of those movies feature Dane Cook and Adam Sandler. I’ve stuck with “Chuck” even though it seems a bit thin, if only because “Heroes” remains essential viewing for me.

Welcome to newcritics - we need more geeky goodness in this neighborhood. I kinda like Chuck - it's incredibly light, though. Like a handful of candy corn. Hey Howard,nice post!
