While sitting around waiting for my Clark Kent job to start, I normally relax by catching up on my favorite forms of entertainment. In the interest of preserving the, ah, providers from whom I source my entertainment, please allow me to be sufficiently cryptic regarding the origin of my leisure materials. While comic books remain a staple in my Fortress of Solitude, I also enjoy watching television series from the comfort of my MacBook. If you haven't already, please take the time to check out The Middleman while you still can. While it is difficult to pigeonhole its appeal, those who hold fond memories of hard to categorize, but easy to love cult classics such as The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai should definitely give this quirky, and recently cancelled series a shot.
Another series which people should check out, and which has the additional benefit of being very much "uncancelled", is the "so underrated it's on the verge of being overrated" delight that is Chuck. And yes, I know that the lead character works claims affiliation with a group called the Nerd Herd. I've long accepted the full mantle of nerdhood, and no longer feel the need to hide behind more typically masculine pursuits.
Uh-oh. My Clark Kent job beckons. See you later!

I'll have to check out the Middleman. I also watch Chuck. I like the premise and it's good fun to watch the show.
Have you seen Pushing Daisies? Excellent show. Although it was not renewed for more episodes. It's one of the best shows on TV and it is so witty and intelligent. Brian Fuller is a rock star in my book. I think he is so unappreciated. My other favorite shows he did were Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me. I highly recommend them! They are available on DVD. The writing is outstanding on his shows and the character development and they banter - oh the character bantering is terrific! Tom says that the many of the American people (especially the ones with the Neilson boxes) do not know how to appreciate excellent and intelligent shows. Way too much reality TV these days.
I like Chuck too! :) And I agree with HappiHappi, Pushing Daisies is great! :) Wait...what does she mean it wasn't renewed?? I thought It read that it was renewed for a second season?
edit: argh, it WAS canceled!! :'(
and to think Pushing Daisies actually had 12 emmy nominations! :(
(why do all my favorite shows get canceled so fast??)
