Monday Night Madness

The SyFy Channel has gone too far.  Many networks do onr good show in an evening.  Occasionally, we even get 2 good shows in an evening.  But SyFy has dared to put 3 good shows all on Monday night.

Starting at 7 pm, we have Eureka, which is in season 5.  This continues to be one of the better shows on TV, even as the cast continues to evolve.  I'm not sure how season 5 is going to go based on the first 3 episodes, but given the pattern of past seasons, I expect great things.

Then at 8 pm, Warehouse 13 comes on my screen.  This is one that my wife and I both really like.  We laugh a lot while we watch it, but it has enough suspense and action to keep me interested.  Pete Lattimer, played by Eddie McClintock, cracks me up.  This is just a fun show.

Finally, at 9 pm, SyFy unveiled Alphas.  As my wife said, it's like someone took the concept of NBC's Heroes, and made it good.  The concept is similar to Heroes and/or X-Men.  Some people have special abilities, and these people have been nicknamed, Alphas.  A small team of Alphas, led by Dr. Rosen, help the government solve Alpha related crimes.  We're only 3 episodes in, but it seems like SyFy might have hit on another winner.

Add in the fact that TNT has put out a winner in Falling Skies, and I've spent way too much time watching TV over the last month.  Luckily I have a DVR...I really don't know how I ever lived without it.
