The DVR Files: Chuck and The Journeyman

I just got around to watching both Chuck and The Journeyman tonight and I can tell you right now that both are making the cut. I will continue to watch both shows this season.
Chuck is sharp and funny and hits all the marks the first time around. I’m not entirely sold on Yvonne Strzechowski’s Sarah Walker character. She is pretty and you can see why Chuck is drawn to her, but the pace of the show seems to drag when she is in scenes. Zachary Levi’s Chuck is endearing and appealing Good call, casting people. Adam Baldwin? Always a pleasure. I’ve been following his career ever since 1980’s My Bodyguard. I’ll watch anything he is in, even if it’s not good. Fortunately for me, Chuck rocks.
The Journeyman plays to my most favorite of genres: time travel. There is mystery and intrigue, fun little soundtrack flashbacks, and very solid acting. Kevin McKidd has an impressive roster of work behind him: Rome, Trainspotting, and Hannibal Rising just to name a few. Time travel sucked me in, the storyline will have me coming back.
The shows both give us actors doing more than passable American accents. Kevin McKidd is Scottish and Yvonne Strzechowski is an Aussie.
