David didn't do his usual Fall TV preview this year so I had to seek out other sources for recommendations on new shows to watch. At around the halfway point of a season that is most likely going to end at its halfway point, I'd have to go with Chuck as my favorite new show this season. Sure it's a blatant geek-fantasy show, where every girl wears ridiculously revealing outfits at all times (including the girl who works at the Best Buy-clone, apparently I'm shopping at the wrong electronics stores), but it's also well made and the overall plot arc is getting interesting after starting off very slow (I'm only up to the episode from 3 weeks ago on the Tivo-like device). Anyone else have a favorite new show they'd like to recommend?

Speaking of things I *won't* be watching, there's a football game tomorrow night on the NFL Network.

GB at DAL: I want the Packers to win this, because I think a Packers-Patriots Super Bowl would be a great game and we would be spared the Super Bowl week subplots of "who is Tony Romo dating?" and "Isn't T.O. a great guy now?". The key to stopping the Cowboys is to take away Jason Witten, as their running game is mediocre and Romo can be pressured into mistakes when T.O. is covered. The Cowboys' secondary is bad enough where the Packers can take advantage, but I think Dallas pulls it out at home. DAL
