Chuck: Pilot  First Watch   Season 1, Ep 1

Join me as I watch, for the first time ever, the show known simply as Chuck, whom IMDB describes as "a computer geek who gets a computer full of information zapped into his brain...information that contains secrets that the federal government desperately needs to keep in Chuck's head...and keep Chuck, himself, intact." In this opening episode, Chuck meets a woman who agrees to go on a date with him, but she's one of the government agents who's interested more in his head than his body. [more inside]

Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE CRAWLING EYE  Season 1, Ep 1

1958, B&W, Horror, Sci-Fi. A thick fog engulfs the side of a mountain, containing big puffy eyes with tentacles that control people's minds. The first cable episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 features many of the elements that would make the show a success: lots of jokes, whimsical performances, and a movie bad enough to peel paint. But as with most of the first season, it's really not the guys at their best. For devoted fans only. [more inside]
