i'm addicted to chuck!

have you seen nbc's comedy 'chuck'?


if you haven't, then i strongly suggest you do. chuck is like, the best thing that happened to nbc since heroes! and i'm not kidding. chuck is really funny and entertaining!


the show follows chuck, then an ordinary computer whiz who works as a nerd herder (a parody of geek squad) in buy more (a parody of best buy). one day, he opens an e-mail from his former stanford roomie, bryce larkin, and accidentally downloads an entire server of top secret data that was previously available to the us government only. all the information is stored in his head, by way of a series of cryptic images. complications arise when the nsa and cia send out their best agents: john casey and sarah walker, respectively. a series of events forces chuck to become one of the 'agents', which in turn pushes him to lead a 'secret' life.

one of the most amusing comedies i've seen lately, chuck is a must-watch for any geek (like yours truly). although the plot kinda reminds you of jake 2.0, chuck is in a different plane all its own. i mean, chuck is real fun to watch! the on-screen chemistry between the characters is addictive! (oh, i especially like chuck's relationship with morgan [his bestfriend]. what an odd couple they are!) plus, the women watching will like the feisty blonde cia agent sarah walker. mind you, she really kicks major ass!

so if you like action/comedy coupled with nerdy references, then chuck is the show you have to see.
