TV Junkie: Columbus Day Picks

After a raucous couple of weeks we're settling in now. We know what sucks (Moonlight and about a jillion other programs) and what's pretty good (Chuck and just a handful of others). It's a matter of choosing a couple to follow now as we wait for the delayed series like Nip/Tuck, etc.

7:00pm The Pride of the Yankees TCM - The Gary Cooper classic is followed by Anthony Perkins in Fear Strikes Out, yes, it's baseball featured on TCM tonight.

8:00pm Chuck NBC - Not bad, not bad at all so far. TV Junkie's 8:00pm Pick

9:00pm The Magnificent Voyabe of Christopher Columbus PBS/KCET - Celebrate/protest the holiday with this documentary. TV Junkie 9:00pm Pick.

9:00pm Heroes NBC - Great start to the season. If you aren't interested in educating yourself on PBS, then there's still time to get into this season.
