The teaser's for tonite's (Monday 10-08 7 PM central) "Chuck" show had a 119 on a table - and I assume being tossed at someone - or something. He apparently becomes a spy... I haven't seen it yet. First, a survival show - now this - what exposure!

I saw that teaser on USA Network this weekend...a nice shiny polished blade phenolic handled 119, being thrown at the guy...ends up between his thighs as he's sitting down... :eek:

Some funny teasers for "Law & Order: Criminal Intent", too...no knives, but the actors are playing their roles and musing on the sudden change of networks... :p

I also watched some new (to me) shows this weekend (baseball is over)..."Life" seems like an excellent show; "Bionic Woman" was so-so; "Psych" was OK but not great (stereotyped characterization)...

It'll be nice to get back to "NCIS" and "The Unit" again... ;)

Edit: I take that back about no knives on "L&O:CI"...Goren uses a quick-opening knife (auto? or AO?) to open bodies wrapped-up that have been hidden for decades...Hey! - Eames has one too!! (There was a L&O:CI marathon on USA this weekend)...
 
Well, that was a dumb show! The 119 got tossed at a wooden chair - just like in the teaser - that was it. I don't believe I have tossed a knife since my college days, when my Dad's old WWII USN KaBar went flying towards my dorm door, which I had just found out I was going to have to buy anyway due to the drunks' fight in the hall breaking it in the night before. Sadly, a friend from down the hall was opening it as the knife hit - and passed through to the hilt - at his saucer-sized eye level. That was close - and the end of my misplaced aggressions/anger. It was '68... Auburn U... just months before my new government 'job offer', which I couldn't refuse.

Still, a silly show.

I always think of Goren & Eames, in "L&O:CI", as 'Penn & Teller' wannabe's. I like seeing Chris Noth - and his pardner de jour - alternating on that show, too. The original "L.&O." was a hard act to follow. The latest variant - without Dennis Farina - but with Fred Thompson - is decent, too. Guess Fred has other plans for employment now...

I wonder if Buck had to pay for the use/display of their product, the 119 on 'Chuck', since it's name wasn't readily apparent?

I wonder why......if they need an impressive knife.....they don't use a 120???

Oh yeah.......that's right.......Buck has pretty much quit making 120s.

Anyway........I guess the 120 is simply too big to be politically correct enough for prime time......or anything, apparently.
