chuck Review Summary

Chuck is a nerd's nerd. An employee at Buy More (a not so subtle shot at Best Buy), Chuck's nerddom comes back to bite him in the brain when he accidentally downloads the entire NSA/CIA database into his brain. Naturally, his computer and the source computer are destroyed making Chuck (Zachary Levi) the unique owner of this highly classified information. Thus the premise of the show has our nerdy hero protected by a hot undercover CIA agent who pretends to be his girlfriend. Chuck, however, would like the girlfriend part to be for real. "You have to love the classic sexual tension between he and Sarah and you just root every week that they will get together." Since Chuck can access this information in his head at random, the government puts him in harm's way to carry out missions each week. This, of course makes him a target for the bad guys. Most of our reviewers found Chuck to be entertaining, amusing, and sometimes heart-warming. It airs on NBC.

I have to tell you... when i saw the preview for this show, I was not interested at all.

I was bored one day and started watching tv shows on the internet. You can actually watch full versions of certain shows. I had finished watching one of my favorite shows when I came across 'Chuck'. I decided to waste time and watch it!

I AM HOOKED! I never miss and if I do happen to miss, I just go to the website and watch. This show has a little bit of everything in it, comedy, action, romance and drama.

Well done!

I am really enjoying the new tv show Chuck on monday night.  The story is about a hapless young man (slightly nerdish) and his adverntures in life once he inadvertantly becomes embroiled in the secret spy world.

Chuck as played by Zachary Levi is funny, sweet, smart and just a little nerdish.  In fact, he is just like everyones favorite little brother.

The basic premise of the show is that Chuck has been sent government secrets by an old freneny named Bryce sublimally through an e-mail.  Chuck flashes on CIA/FBI (etc.) information about terrorists and plots to overthrow various governements when...

I promise myself that I would not add any new shows this fall.  However, I had rented the NBC preview DVD from Blockbuster which contained several shows that the channel was releasing and one of them was Chuck.  I watched the hour long preview and was hooked.  The story line seems far-fetched but is entertaining.  It follows Chuck, who was kicked out of Sanford on the basis that he had cheated and shows how his live has unfolded since then.  As the story line unfolds, you find out that his roommate at college who was responsible for having him kicked out of school is a CIA operative who... read full review »

 A new and very good show Suspense  with comedy all in one.

This is one of NBC good ones . The characters are great different . The good looking and athletic Spy's . Adam Baldwin from fire fly and serenity  Is one of the CIA agents . With the common every day working people .

I love the concept . It gets me out of my everyday life but I can relate to the show and it's characters . Love the nerd herd and the buy more .

The shows are also offered on line At NBC.com . They still  give you commercials but less than on TV,  Either way this is a good Show worth the time to watch.

I gave one other new show a try this year and was disappointed.  Then I remembered seeing a preview about a geek that has all the government secrets in his head.  I decided to give it a shot and was hooked immediately.  Each show is very well put together, with the right balance of comedy and action, hot girls, and lame geeks.

Brought to you by the very same folks that gor everyone hooked on the O.C. before it became lame.

Chuck is the best new show on tv this season. I hope it doesn't go away. The lead character is charming and cute and for the guys you have his handler, Sarah. I love that they spoof the Geek Squad by having Chuck work for the Nerd Herd. His friend Morgan is a hilarious addition as well as his other Buy More co-workers. You have to love the classic sexual tension between he and Sarah and you just root every week that they will get together.

I absolutely love this new TV show, starring Zachary Levi.  I didn't recognize him at first with the "nerd" hairdo, but he is adorable on this show.  He is an
"accidental" spy and he works at a computer store called "Buy More."

He is in love with the real female spy and she is also falling in love with him but she cannot allow herself to tell him, so there is that sexual tension between them.  You find yourself rooting for him to get the girl, but you know that won't happen so it makes you sad for him. 

The plots are clever, interesting, funny and very enjoyable.  I used to be a big fan of...

I love this show. Chuck really does have it all, making it a great show for everyone. It is an hour long show filled with action, adventure, comedy, and romance. There is always an exciting twist or turn. The basic plot is that a nerdy guy accidentally becomes an human super computer for the government. He flashes on people and things then suddenly knows all of the information that the CIA and NSA have on record for them. He works with his handlers, Casey ad Sarah on missions. There are romantic sparks between him and Sarah, the beautiful blonde CIA spy. There are villians and chase scenes as...

Like everyone else, I love Chuck! It is funny, it is cute, and there is lots of action! The script is cleverly written and witty. It is not boring, but it is not so action pacted that the violence no longer becomes entertaining.

I am a girl, and I can say with certainty that this show is not just for guys.The cast is amazing - both how they act and their physical attributes. Also a plus, there are no gross or extremely bloody parts.

While I would not say that I would watch Chuck with small children, it is pretty clean. 

I was very worried that Chuck would be cancelled at the end of this season...

This show is the greatest. Is it a comedy? Is it action/spy? Is it romance? All of the above!

The way this show intertwines all the elements is what makes it fantastic. I catch myself smiling all the way through every episode. The tension between Chuck and "Sarah" and the almost-a-relationship-but-not-quite volley that's been going on since the beginning just keeps you guessing who's going to crack first. Casey's straight-faced delivery of even the funniest of lines just keeps me rollling on the floor laughing! And on the odd occasion that he does let down his hair, even for a second, just adds...

Chuck is, without a doubt, one of the best shows on tv.  It is intelligent and goofy, funny and slightly tense, attractive and - well, not so much.

The strength of all the characters is in their slight cartoonishness.  Sara is the classic beautiful spy, with a penchant for the nerd.

Chuck is, on the face of it, a loser.  But if you dig deeper, you find that he possesses incredible knowledge, he went to Stanford, and he is a deeply committed and loving friend and brother.  BUT he is a total goofball.

Each episode my children and I are laughing, without fail.  We can't wait for the next episode...

I have watched this show from the start and love it!  at the end of every show they leave you hanging too so you have to watch the next one to see what's going on.  There is plenty of action on every show with a splash of comedy in between.  The main characters fight bad guys all the time.  Chuck has a computer that was programmed into his brain and Sarah and John have to keep him safe.  Meanwhile Chuck has flashes whenever he sees a guy that is in the gov't computer.  Sounds simple but it's a cute show for both men and women to enjoy (not just a chick movie).

Before the show started I thought it looked so dumb. I said no way am I watching that but then me and my husband moved into our new house and had no cable for a few weeks. So the Monday it start was also the night Heros was coming back and I WAS NOT missing that so I went over to my parents a little before 8 and my dad said I'm watching Chuck. So I just sat there to hang out with him until Heros started and 5 mins into Chuck I was addictied I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and by the end of the hour I couldn't wait until next week.
