Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
I'm cutting Chuck loose. I made the decision before the first commercial break of Episode 2. I was borderline after the pilot, but I wanted to like it, so I gave it another chance. But at its core, it's really a pretty stupid show. The premise is ridiculous, but even if you forgive that (as I have on other shows with ridiculous premises), it's not funny enough and not dramatic enough. It's just a whole lot of energy wasted. Just last year, Andy Barker P.I., for example, did the unlikely hero better.
Update: Tell Me You Love Me and Heroes are out of the penalty box. Both got back to storytelling this week. It would have been a relief to dump them - and that day might still come - but it was certainly a pleasant surprise. Neither was great, but both were at least interesting.
You can't kill off a power play while in the penalty box. Your teammates have to do that.
I can picture D4P banging his goalie stick on the ice once there were five seconds left in the show however.
That was the icing on the cake...
Hopefully Andrew won't read that. Don't want to inspire a murderous rage.
But Tim DeKay's first scene in therapy was outstanding.
I like the song, but I don't disagree with you. It's kind of loud and forceful, which didn't seem appropriate for the ending. I think they were using it for the lyrics, which are kind of about being alone and such.
I'm assuming Tim DeKay is "Dave". I thought the therapy scene was great. The actors were convincing, and his outburst was cathartic.
In response to your question in the last thread, I saw "King Of Kong" and loved it. Incredibly entertaining.
