Who's this... Chuck?

I have a confession to make... I love Chuck. I mean, I love "Chuck" the TV show.

There's a few shows on the tube that I think are cool this season: Lost (a given), Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles (please dun let this show dies), Pushing Daisies (R.I.P., but still one of the bests), Battlestar Galactica (finished) and Fringe (getting better..). However, I just plainly love the mix of spy action, comedy and romance plus a touch of sci-fi geekiness with CHUCK.


Computer geek by day. Government operative by night.


James Bond he ain't, but Chuck, the titular character, is your normal, a bit geeky, but charming guy with a big secret in his head, literally. A top secret US government database presumed to be destroyed is trapped in Chuck's brain and therefore for his own safety and the government's own interest, a CIA handler and an NSA agent are assigned to protect him as his undercover bodyguards, acting as his girlfriend and his colleague respectively.

This show has plenty to offer, and never have I seen a show that blends action, comedy, friendships and spoofs all together this nicely. It ain't got the popularity of Lost or Battlestar Galactica, but it is clearly a better show than Heroes since it started last season.
