About this oddly named site.... and its oddly named owner.

Hey, 


the noob on the tube here. Here's the scoop on this site and how to use it...


About the site


This site is a nothing more than a commentary on the TV shows of today, run by the people of tomorrow. Cheesy, yes. But true. hopefully, i'll be around tomorrow, so i can catch the new episode of NCIS. Knowing that i'll read this later on and kick myself, I'm just going to shut up and get to point.


Here's a list of the shows I will try to cover; it's not permanant, seeing as how shows get cancelled :(, and new shows added. They're not in the order of preference, i'm not biased, or at least won't be on this blog.

• NCIS, Tuesday 8-9 on CBS. One of the many police procedurals that populate the networks, but this one stands out of the crowd. And there's proof of that, topping the Nielsen's almost every night a new ep premieres, and staying on the list even for reruns. Starring: Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, Sean Murray, Pauley Perette, Rocky Carroll, and David McCallum.
• Bones, Thursday 8-9 on Fox. Another police procedural, focuses on the unlikely partnership between a former Army Rangers sniper turned FBI agent and a cold, analytical, socially awkward anthropologist/writer who makes up for her lack of social skills with her stunning good looks.
  Starring: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, TJ Thyne, Tamara Taylor, and John Francis Daley.
• Chuck, Monday 8-9 NBC, an action comedy about a geek turned spy. When Chuck Bartowski accidentally downloads the government's top-secret intel database into his head, he turns his life upside down, filling his previously underachieving life with spies, guns, and lies.
  Starring: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Alec Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Sarah Lancaster, and many, many more.
• Castle, Monday 8-9 ABC, OK, I'll admit, i do have a thing for police procedurals, but I only like the good ones... OK, that excuse failed, but this show won't. Castle is a lot like Bones, except it's the cop who's uptight, and the writer has maturity of a 6 year old. This show's a rising star, except this one's not made of hydrogen, but comedy and twists.
  Starring: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Jon Huertas, Seamus Dever, and Tamala Jones.
  Realizing that you may be getting a bit bored, I'll rapid fire off the other shows I'll cover:
• Human Target, Thursdays, 7-8. Action Drama; about a hitman turned bodyguard. Off-season currently
• Merlin, BBC's latest hit show, fantasy. Self-explanatory really. Just add the word "young" to the front, and you've got the gist of it.
• And reruns of the above. I'll only recap eps that actually meant something, like game-changers, finales, and the really good stuff.

Yep, that's about it. Now, if you move your eyes down, you'll find out a little about me.

the noob on the tube

OK, I'll start out with the username. "the noob"does not mean i'm an inexperienced netizen (ok ok, 90's term. won't happen again); it just means that i'm relatively young. "on the tube", well, that refers to the fact that this blog is a commentary on TV, again, probably a dated term by now, but...  it works. 

I'm going to try keeping it incognito, but i will say a couple things: i'm what people call "young", just your regular youngster. The rest, well, read carefully.
