Come Monday

A quick programming note: Tonight will bring the season premieres of two NBC series that we’ve come to believe are worth watching.

Scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET/PT is the second-season opener of Chuck, a well-written spy spoof (starring Zachary Levi) that’s become a weekly treat for some of us here at The Rap Sheet. And then at 10 p.m. will come the second-season premiere of Life, starring Damien Lewis and the lovely Sarah Shahi as a pair of quirky Los Angeles cops dealing with both new crimes and the still-unresolved question of who framed Lewis’ character for murder. A second new episode of Life is set to be broadcast this coming Friday at 10 p.m., with other new eps showing on successive Friday nights at that time.

Set your TiVo. Or if you can’t wait, you can catch the season two premiere of Chuck here and tonight’s episode of Life here.
