  Throwdown Showdon Part 3 + Chuck

  Hello everybody! We are now on the third matchup of the Character Throwdown Showdown. But first, the results from last time. It was a very close match, but Turk ultimately prevailed, beating Monk 9 votes to 6. Thanks to everyone who voted! I really appreciate it

  Now into today's matchup: Calleigh Duquense from CSI:Miami vs. George Micheal Bluth from Arrested Development:

  First up: One of the smartest police officers in Miami-Dade county, she can do it all. Chase after a suspect. You got it. Run a ballistics test to match the perp and his gun to the crime. You got it. And she always looks her best. Give it up for Calleigh Duquesne!

  

  Now for some of her best quotes: Suspect: I swear. I didn't touch her.
  Calleigh Duquesne: You don't have to touch somebody to shoot 'em.

  [to a DA]
  Calleigh Duquesne: I didn't realize evidence took sides.

  Calleigh Duquesne: [walks into gun vault, smiles and sighs] I love my job.

  On the other side, we have everyone's favorite geek (besides Chuck) George Michael Bluth. He loves his crazy crazy family, and be surrounded by them makes him seem normal. He is quiet and unassuming, and you can often find him working in the family's banana stand with his crush, his cousin Maeby.

  

  Michael: What have we always said is the most important thing. What comes first?
  George Michael: Breakfast.
  Michael: Family.
  George Michael: Family. Right. I thought you meant out of the things you eat.

  George Michael: You know, I can see why your mom likes it. It is a really nice tree ...
  Maeby: We've got to get it torn down.
  George Michael: ... That must die. Stupid tree.

  (talking about housing project names) George Michael: Wow, you're president again?
  Michael: Yes, this is the way it should be. What do you think of when you hear the words "Sudden Valley?"
  George Michael: Salad dressing, I think. For some reason, I don't want to eat it.
  Michael: Right, but "Paradise Gardens?"
  George Michael: Yeah, I could see marinating a chicken.

  So please leave your vote in the comments, and any of your favorite quotes you'd like me to add to the blog

  So today I finally saw the first episode of Chuck and I loved it! Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to watch it and to othforeverlove, who helped me find the site! I am really excited to see the rest of the episodes because I thought the pilot was amazing. I am definitley looking forward to the new season.

  I packed most of my stuff for the dorm, so I'm all ready to move in tommorow. I should be on in the afternoon to do the next showdown.

  I hope everyone is having a great day

  Throwdown Part 2! +Dorm Stuff

  Its's time for the second matchup in the Throwdown Showdown. But first, we need the results for the first match, which if anyone glanced at the last blog's comments I'm sure they could figure out. On to the quarterfinals is our favorite nerd Chuck, who defeated Brenda Leigh Johnson by a score of 12-2. Thanks to everyone for voting!

  Now into today's matchup:

  Today we have a close matchup between Chris Turk and Adrian Monk

  In one side we have the cocky surgeon with the outstanding dance movies from Sacred Heart. You can call him Brown Bear, Turkleton, Gandhi, and Super Chocolate Bear. You know him, You love him, give it up for CHRIS TURK!

  

  Now for some Turk quotes

  Turk: You know, I love how kids of divorce really have the market cornered on family dysfunction. But let me share with you a typical Thanksgiving at the Turk household: It starts with my mother yelling at my sister for yelling at my grandmother who's yelling at the television screen, which happens to be the microwave. And then my militant brother Jabari - formerly Bob - gives my father attitude for using the word black, even though he's referring to the turkey. Which, by the way, only got burnt because instead of turning the oven off, my bi-polar aunt Leslie tried to shove her head in it. But you know what we do? We kiss... and we hug... and we apologize for all the things we said... 'Cause a month later, we gonna get together and do it again at Christmas!

  Carla: Why is there a pancake in the silverware drawer?
  Turk: I think you mean, why is there silverware in the pancake drawer? Wus'UP

  Turk: This morning, I had my hands inside of a guy's chest. I couldn't even see them! I should not be allowed to do stuff like that. Whazzup.
  J.D.: And you weren't scared?
  Turk: One way or another, everyone stops bleeding. That is so deep.
  Carla: No it isn't.
  Turk: It's a little deep

  In the other corner we have everyone's favorite obsessive compulsive detective, Adrian Monk. But don't try to shake his hand or give him a high-five because he'll be forced to yell at his assistant Natalie for a wipe so he can get the germs off.

  

  Now Monk quotes:

  (repeated many times) Monk:Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...

  Monk: Speed dating? No, no, that's like Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell.
  

  Monk: I'm Adrian... Monk. You can call me Adrian... Monk.
  
  Monk: Is your seatbelt on?
  Sgt Parnell: Yes, it is.
  Monk : Nice and tight? Blinkers! Blinkers!
  Sgt Parnell : Do you understand this is a car chase?
  Monk: Left lane ends, two miles! Left lane ends, two miles!

  Also repeated a lot: Monk: (about his OCD) It's a blessing. And a curse.

  So please vote for your favorite character in the comments, and please leave any quotes for these two characters and I will put them in the blog

  In TV.com news- I contributed a lot the last two days, and made it all the way up to level 37. I am now a Cyclon! Special thanks to Karlmezaros, because he has been letting me help contribute to the World Series guide, and I have picked up a bunch of subs from doing that.

  As for the dorm news, I move in on Thursday, early in the morning. I will probably do another blog tomorrow, but if I don't probably won't be on all day because I'll be setting up my room. I bought everything I needed, but I haven't started packing yet. I might need to do that soon

  TV.com Goals

  4, 000 posts -At 3466

  5,000 subs- At 2952. 60% there

  I hope everyone is having a great week

  Oh, and I picked up another TC, this one for Sara Ramirez. Now I have two more shows off my list. Earlier, I said I wanted a guide for a person from every one of my favorite shows. Well a TC is good enough so I can cross Grey's Anatomy off my list. Thanks lozza1525!

  P.S. I told some people that I was going to start watching Chuck yesterday, but when I went to go watch it from my usual website, sidereel, or hulu, I couldn't get it to work! There were about 20 links, but none were working on my computer. So today I'll check nbc.com. and I really hope it will be there because I want to watch it

  Character Throwdown Showdown! Come play!

  Hey everybody, it's the first part of my brand new game,

  Character Throwdown Showdown

  
  Yay for the title

  Thanks to everyone who submitted characters for this game. There ended up being 12, and so to make it an even 16, I added 4 characters. It ended up being that each character is from a different show which is really good. I matched the characters up the easiest way I could, by numbering them in the order I got them, and then selecting random numbers using my calculator to seed them. This is what the list looks like:

  1. Chuck Bartowski 2. Brenda Johnson 3. Chris Turk 4. Adrian Monk 5. Calleigh Duquesne 6. George Michael Bluth 7. Chandler Bing 8. Charlie Epps 9. Karen Walker 10. George Costanza 11. Veronica Mars 12. Gregory House 13. Blair Waldorf 14. Catherine Willows 15. Shawn Spencer 16. Ted Mosby

  1 will play 2, 3 will play 4 and so on. Then in the second round, The winner of Chuck/Brenda will play the Turk/Monk winner. I know this is confusing and I tried making a bracket, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

  Our first throwdown showdown is

  Chuck Bartowski Vs. Brenda Leigh Johnson

  I decided to write a little about each character to make it easier for you guys to make your decision. First up, everyone's favorite nerd, Chuck Bartowski!!

  Chuck is of course, the star of NBC's Chuck. Chuck has computer secrets downloaded into his brain and soon finds himself working as a spy. Chuck works at the Buy More store as part of the Nerd Herd.

  Some notable Chuck quotes: Chuck: Hi, my name is Charles Bartowski, but you can call me Chuck. Those are my shoes, this is my life. Its filled with spies, car chases, computer-stealing ninjas and me saving the day.

  Chuck: My first stake out. Okay, okay. Yeah. What do I need to bring? Sweater? Light jacket?
  Casey: You just bring that computer in your head.
  Chuck: Okay, you know what, I have a lot more to offer this team other than the intersect. For instance, what are we doing for tunes tonight? I could make a stakeout mix.

  Chuck: You know, if I had a blog, this would be a really big day for me.

  Up in the other corner we have Brenda Johnson from The Closer

  

  Brenda is a deputy chief police officer who runs the Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. She sometimes feels like an outsider having come from Savannah Georgia, but she has the special ability to get a confession out of anyone.

  Some Brenda quotes

  Brenda: I really miss chocolate.

  Brenda: Oh, I hardly think that Maggie Scott was killed by terrorists, unless you think the evil-doers are trying to destroy the world with pepper spray.

  Brenda: The FBI is on my speed dial, Mr. Roth. In fact, we're so close I'm practically in bed with them.

  So cast your vote for your favorite character in the comments. And if you have any more good quotes for these characters, please add them in the comment space. The only ones I had where the ones I could find here on TV.com. Have fun!

  In TV.com news: I got two new TCs for Kate Hudson and Benjamin Bratt, both from mackymacaspac. Thanks macky!
