Actually, since they are pilots, alot of them are unavailable on their respective sites yet. However, to drum up interest the nice folks at the various networks prepare "blockbuster DVDs" and send them out to various critics, websites, magazines and newspapers for preview purposes, normally well ahead of airing, in the hope a glowing review will help drum up interest in the show. Games, movies and TV shows just a perk of my job really

Just watched a couple of pilots on NBC last night.

Chuck was a bit rubbish. Mildly amusing in places, but if they want to aim for the geek crowd, don't do silly things like the computer smashing scene. Non-stop cheese, but it might survive because it's light-hearted and has a lot of bright colours and pretty girls. I'll give it another shot next week, but not expecting much.

Journeyman I thought was very good and well done. Possibilities opened up for the rest of the season, especially with his ex and his wife. I'm wondering if this show might struggle a bit though, because it seems to have been marketed more (from what little I've seen) as a sci-fi, when it plays more on the personal relationships and character backgrounds. Got the Quantum Leap feel though, in terms of him going back to in time to help people. Will be interesting to see how they explain this (right now he just randomly jumps back).
