News & Notes
The latest episode of the TV times Three Podcast is available. We talked the shows we think more people should be watching. They included Chuck, Life, Pushing Daisies, and Privileged. What shows do you think aren’t getting the ratings they deserve? Listen to the podcast and let us know what you think.
Prime Picks
Chuck (NBC): New. Sarah’s old high school is where some secret plans are going to be sold, so they have to attend the reunion to prevent this from happening.

I thought last week’s episode would have been a lot better had NBC not ruined it with their promos.
