The Art of Seduction

  • Title: Chuck – Chuck Vs. the Seduction Impossible
  • tv.com: link

This week’s Chuck was all about seduction. Super-spy Roan Montgomery (John Larroquette) is caught while trying to seduce his way into a female terrorist’s (Lesley-Ann Brandt) camp, although his charms start to pay off…at least until the rescue team botches the mission, again. Roan’s seduction techniques work even less well for Casey (Adam Baldwin) who tries to seduce a guard and ends up having to use explosives instead. And Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) have their own battle of seduction (hers involves a belly dancer costume, which you can see in the clip) as the fight over their impending wedding. Good times all around.

Fairly Legal

  • Title: Fairly Legal – Pilot
  • tv.com: link

I’ve been very pleased with the shows USA Network has put out in recent years. I was a big fan of Monk, and I love Psych, as well as Burn Notice and White Collar. I was impressed with the first season of Covert Affairs, and In Plain Sight has proved to be an engaging drama centered (as most USA shows tend to be) a deeply human, and deeply flawed, central character.

USA’s latest, Fairly Legal, revolves around a lawyer turned mediator (played by the lovely and charming Sarah Shahi) who works for the law firm started by her late father and now run by her step-mother (Virginia Williams).
