Chuck is an American television science fiction-dramedy created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" who receives an encoded e-mail from an old friend, a rogue CIA agent, which embeds the world's greatest spy secrets in his brain.
Produced by College Hill Pictures, Wonderland Sound and Vision and Warner Bros. Television, the series premiered on September 24, 2007 on NBC, airing on Monday nights at 8:00/7:00c

So far I really like the series, it doesnt take itself seriously and just has fun with its cast and premise.

Fun tib-bit, in the first or second episode when his brain is reviewing all the information he "downloaded" you can hear "...Oceanic flight 815 crash was caused by..." Thought that was a neat nod to Lost.
It's obvious it's written by a bunch of suits in a conference room, with obvious generic plot points.
The in-show ads are blatantly obvious.
But I can't stop watching it. What the fuck is wrong with me.
EDIT: To clarify, the networks think Canadians are a bunch of pirates, thus disable Canadian IP's and Credit Cards from purchasing their goods online, forcing said Canadians to either pirate or go through a 3rd party.
Not sure how preventing people from legitimately purchasing your product does anything other than encourage piracy.

Yes. I have a television show fantasy team. It's doing fairly well. (Also on my team are Survivor, Dancing With The Stars and Kitchen Nightmares.)
I really don't like it though. I think it's mostly the writing - specifically what are (in my opinion) massive plot holes, wacky tonal shifts, and ridiculous contrivance. I've watched every episode (like I said - my wife likes it), and I always enjoy the setup of the episode, but then it usually breaks down and I get annoyed with the show. I seem to end every week with a bad taste in my mouth.
Can someone please convince me I'm wrong? Like I said, I want to like it.
Currently I see Chuck and Reaper as competing for my "slacker saves the world" viewing time. I'm liking Reaper much better so far.
Yeah, I'm not ashamed to say I greatly enjoy it.
Feel free to add me on whatever network, it's always more fun to play with people than alone
That's true, but don't blaspheme and say it's funnier than The Office (also, 30 Rock is making a strong bid for the #2 position)
Maybe I'm missing out, but I can live with that.

The Office is one of the best shows in the history of TV
He's pretty much Jayne in a suit. Not that that's a bad thing. Besides, when he threw the microwave me and my brother couldn't stop laughing.
I can't get over how good that commercial they made was.
It's probably the best thing Michael has ever accomplished. And it got rejected.
EDIT: Wait, do you mean a commercial for The Office on TV, or a commercial for the paper company they made in one of the episodes?
The latter. It was in the last episode.
I'm still midway through season 2.
If you're not watching Chuck, START!
Chuck: "Oh shit guys I totally didnt believe you and screwed everything up, again."
I didn't notice that as much with tonight's episode. When that does happen, though (so like every other episode) it doesn't ruin anything. The show is still fun and neat.
Tonight's episode:
Also, I was kind of hoping that he wasn't dead dead. =/ I quite like the actor and the character seemed to have a lot of potential as a returning guest.
Also, watching Chuck and Bryce's little library dart gun fight tonight, i realized how lucky Chuck is to be in such spectacular shape for a slacker/gamer. I would have already died like twenty times throughout the course of the series, just because i can't run for shit. But man...for a nerd he's pretty fit. Good thing.
If the Writer's Strike gets this show canned I will be one sad TV whore.

I just watched Monday's episode tonight and it was really good, definately not like the other episodes I've seen. I haven't seen every episode, maybe half of them, because I usually watch prison break instead.
Think of it this way, when I'm talking to my non-sci fi friends about this show...its a great hook into Firefly. "y'know, if you like that Adam Baldwin guy, I know this other really cool show he was in..." 8-)
Enlist in Star Citizen! Citizenship must be earned!
The blonde chick is hot.
But anyway, the writing on the show sucks. It's basically too many chefs or something. They really need to hire writers who can actually write emotion that doesn't amount to "chick in underwear set to slow music", but I guess it's too late for that.
Man, the writers are trying way too hard to force a romance with these characters. NBC should just call it "forced and unconvincing romance mondays."
Geek playing the unwilling hero who saves the world with latent ability? That's quite a popular role.
