Anyone watch this TV show? It\'s definitely my favorite TV show of all time, and it comes on every Monday night at 8PM.

For those who don\'t know who/what Chuck is, lemme give you a series recap (unless you\'re interested in watching the first season all over again, and don\'t want any spoilers.) I would put this in a spoiler tag, but it would stretch the page drastically so I\'ll do this.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE FIRST SEASON!

Stanford University, 2002.
Chuck is your usual Stanford student. Busy with his studies and busy playing videogames and being your overall tech nerd. 12 days before he graduates, he has a large final that he has to take. He never gets to take that final, as his roommate, Bryce Larkin, has framed him for stealing the answers to the test. Chuck gets kicked out of Stanford and does not graduate.

5 Years Later.
Chuck now works at the local Buy More (A Best Buy knockoff). He works as a Nerd Herd employee (read: Geek Squad). Chuck hasn\'t talked with Bryce since his Stanford incident and hates Bryce with a passion.

While Chuck is busy working at the Buy More, Bryce steals the data from \"the Intersect\", the supercomputer holding all of the United States intelligence. Bryce, with no chance of making it out of the facility alive, emails it to a random person on his contact list.

Chuck gets home one day and sees that he has an email from his old roommate, Bryce. He opens it, wondering what Bryce could be up to. Upon opening, all of the intelligence was displayed and placed into Chucks mind permanently. After the intelligence was shown, Chuck now \"flashes\" on different symbols and people, relating them to the Intersects database.

The group that Bryce was working for, codename Fulcrum, finds out that Chuck has this information in his head, and plans to take him out. The CIA and NSA also are aware of the information and plan to protect Chuck, as the Intersect was destroyed after Bryce left. The CIA and the NSA each send one agent, Sarah Walker (CIA) and John Casey (NSA).

Sarah and Casey have to protect Chuck at all costs. Chuck, however, doesn\'t have ANY special ops training, and is a videogamer, like the rest of us...

There are MANY references to videogames, geek jokes and innuendos, which make this show even better.

Show includes: Hot women, spies, explosions, videogame references, humor, violence...

In other words, Chuck is the best show. Period.

Sounds cool, a new series to watch. I'm currently running through all the House episodes, currently my favorite.

50% action and 50% comedy. 100% awesome. Like Captain Awesome, Chuck's soon to be brother in law. He got the name from being so amazingly cool.

I saw the first three episodes of the first season...then completely forgot about it. Didn't help that I moved to a spot and currently don't have TV...but hey, I'm actually enjoying not having TV, though I do miss certain shows. I'd like to start watching Chuck again. Thanks for reminding me that it existed!



Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy New Year!
