More Chuck, Less Trauma, and Scrubs On the Way!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:30:24 -0700

Earlier this week I broke down the ins and outs of Fall TV with my scorecard, but there are a few new developments to add. First, we've got another one to add to the R.I.P. list - NBC has pulled the plug on Trauma, and the show will be removed from the lineup after the initial 13 episodes are aired. I can't say I'm particularly sad about this development, since it means good news for one of my favorites: NBC has ordered six more episodes of Chuck, which was originally intended to have a shortened season. Plus, now that Trauma is out, it's more likely that Chuck will be back even sooner than March!

That's not all the news for today: the new (and improved?) Scrubs is officially on its way, with the season premiere scheduled for December 1 at 9 p.m. Hopefully the show will add some much-needed punch to the Tuesday night lineup which is a little lackluster right now.

So, will you miss Trauma? Or are you too excited about more Chuck and Scrubs to care?

Buzz-Worthy Video: Sneak Peek at Chuck Season 3!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:30:24 -0800

I was so excited yesterday to learn that Chuck's third season premiere has been scheduled - and it's less than two months away. Still, the big two-hour kickoff can't come soon enough for me, especially after last year's epic finale. If you feel my pain, then you need to check out this sneak peek at the upcoming season. Zach Levi (sporting a new, shorter 'do) presents a very sweet message thanking his fans for all their support before showing a brand-new clip.

Even though Chuck has been given an upgrade, he's just as goofy and lovable as ever. Casey and Sarah are back undercover as our hero tries to play debonair once again - only this time he's actually got a few skills. We also get a taste for that famous sexual tension between Chuck and Sarah. I'm already counting the days so to check it out just read more.

PopSugar's Fall Favorite TV Picks

PopSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:28:42 -0700

Tonight some of our favorite shows are returning and since Fall TV is officially here, enjoy my list of favorite new shows to watch. Sorry I am a bit late but considering Buzz has already dished on all her picks including, 5 to watch, 5 to skip and 5 she's on the fence with we know you have been very well informed already. The good news is Buzz and I agree on 4 out of her 5 to watch (sorry Reaper - we're just not that into you). The 4 shows we are obsessing over are Pushing Daises, Dirty Sexy Money, Chuck and Gossip Girl (the latter two brought to us by the genius Josh Schwartz who made our dreams come true).

As for the rest of my fall TV thoughts, read more

Chuck was the first show I started crushing on. The adorable Zachary Levi as a geeky guy who gets pulled into an Alias-like life just instantly grabbed my attention.

However, even cuter than Chuck is an equally dorky guy named, Ned. The pie maker from the fairy tale show, Pushing Daisies, is literally the sweetest character on TV this fall. Unlike most gratuitous sex scenes and phrases on TV these days, this show has a great story line about a couple who can't even touch yet it's very heartwarming.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Dirty Sexy Money. Peter Krause from Six Feet Under is now a lawyer for one of the richest families in NYC. It's hard to not get sucked into the life of the rich and well, the richer.

Which then leads us to Gossip Girl. High school. Rich kids. Josh Schwartz. Beautiful clothes and hair. What more could you want in an hour of TV? We're two episodes in and already talking non-stop to our friends about Team Serena vs Team Blair.

While all my shows may have a theme of dreamy men or rich Manhattenites, it's way more than that. Just trust me. As for a favorite 5th. The jury is still out. I want to like Big Shots but the pilot was way cheesy so it doesn't make the cut. I also want to like Private Practice but based on last night's episode, we're not so sure it's gonna happen. We're holding out that Cashmere Mafia is the 5th show but I have yet to see the pilot so I can't officially add it to the list.... yet.

So much TV. So little time so remember to manage it appropriately and if you haven't already, print out BuzzSugar's detailed night by night Fall TV Guide. Trust me, it makes setting your TiVo way easier!

Ed Shows Off Californication Skills, Eats With Jessica in NYC

PopSugarUK — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:24:54 -0700

It's a Gossip Girl kind of week as season three starts on Wednesday night on ITV2! Ed Westwick was out and about looking low-key with his girlfriend and costar Jessica Szohr yesterday. The couple went out to lunch at a restaurant called Bubby's in New York, with Ed clutching a CD by Plastiscines in his hand. In a departure from his role as Chuck, Ed's appeared in US TV series Californication, playing a rather different lad - a student of David Duchovny's character. Check out a clip after the jump - I can't wait to see the full episode!

To see Ed in Californication, just read more.

Michelle Trachtenberg Thinks Like a Cat

PetSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:00:56 -0800

It seems like centuries ago that we were watching those hysterical audition videos for the Meow Mix game show. Well, the premiere was just taped last night in Hollywood and, from the looks of these pictures, some furry felines were in the house!

To refresh your memory, the half-hour program will have kitties and their people competing for the chance to win $1 million and earn $100,000 for their local feline-related charity. The first episode of "Think Like a Cat" airs on Nov. 15 on the Game Show Network – I plan on tuning in, do you?

PetSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:00:04 -0700

The half-hour program will have kitties and their people competing for the chance to win $1 million and earn $100,000 for their local feline-related charity. The show won't premiere until November 15 on the Game Show Network, so check out two audition reels below 'til then.

Chuck's Zachary Levi: Aggressively Geeky

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I thought I knew how geeky Zachary Levi was, what with stories of Wii injuries and video game devotion, but it turns out that there is so much more tech dorkiness under the surface. Get ready to drool, geek lovers.

BuzzSugar was at the TCAs for deets on the new season of Chuck and got a little more geekery than she bargained for.

Exhibit A: Zachary whipped out his spankin' new iPhone and pulled up the Light Saber app to show his admirers the whoosh sound.
Exhibit B: He then showed everyone his iPhone wallpaper: the Nerd Herd logo from Chuck.
Exhibit C: He confirmed that he is, in fact, still a Mac.

Do gush in the comments.
