Its shallow compared to Band of Brothers, some episodes were down right boring.
Can't compare those 2 shows just because its from same production house.. The storyline, premise, emphasis on characters - everything is totally different. Ofcourse at the end of the day, its all personal opinion ;)

True, but the experience of The Pacific was dampened because Band of Brothers was just so good.

Dont want to sound stupid but still want to say..Every time u watch a Series be sure not to have expectations, cause thatz what makes the Series either top or flop (our expectations) just enjoy regular as it is.

My 2 cents

That I agree because our we wanted to see 'Band of Brothers - Part II' and not The Pacific ;)

Sheldon is a superhero IMHO...

Also... Now that LOST is over... Anything else remotely as good as it was... I also liked Spartacus to be honest and found V to be mere timepass...

The Big Bang Theory - I was startled at the Battlestar Galactica reference. I was like, "Aah..Finally a reference to one of the best sci-fi series of all time !" Else it's generally Star Wars/Star Trek as far as sci-fi is concerned. The show clearly is aimed at an intelligent audience, as some of my friends didn't get quite a few jokes at which I was laughing hysterically :D :p { Yes. I am showing signs of Sheldon.}

Moral of the story - Geeks = Intelligent Audience :p

Besides, it's been rated the highest rated sitcom this year. So you can't say that it's restricted to geeks. Just that the jokes are not as flat as they are in HIMYM.

Chuck has ended as well. I'm glad they gave the finale a proper treatment. I was almost beginning to loose hope after watching 'Chuck vs the Honeymooners' and 'Chuck versus the Role Models' episodes. They were downright atrocious. Thankfully, it picked up after that and got really interesting. Loved the ending song of Episode 17; I am Your Skin - Bravery. Casey's daughter is so freakin' cute. Morgan has really been the only consistent performer on the show. Jeff and Lester need to be sent on a break, they are seriously getting annoying. I think it would have been good if they had ended the show with the last episode, it would have been a perfect closure.

How is that?Chuck JUST discovered something that was hidden from him ever since his childhood.His mother has now come into the picture, its far from over.Season 4 is going to be all about family.

It was an incentive to make the 4th Season. It was all fun until the spy operation was a secret. Now, pretty much most of the lead characters know about Chuck's identity. So I'm not sure how things will pan out. Will Chuck tell Ellie about their mother? I thought he had promised to stop this once he stopped/killed Shaw.
