Chuck: "Sometimes the nerd gets the girl."
If I had to list my top three favourite TV shows ('cause I could never just pick one), Chuck would be one of them, and Chuck Bartowski is why.
At the beginning of the show, he is an under-achieving nerd, working at a Buy More, kicked out of Stanford because of his best friend's betrayal. And then he becomes nerd-turned-secret-agent, and it's marvelous. Anyone would love Chuck, but a geek like me appreciates him even more for all the gaming, sci-fi movie and computer references he makes, his awkwardness and nerd charm.
Watching his relationships with the other characters--his sister and her boyfriend Captain Awesome, his nerdy best friend, his tough CIA and NSA handlers and fellow Nerd Herd workers--in the show grow and change is much fun too.
It's easy to see why CIA agent Sarah Walker would fall in love with this character. I know I do every time I watch the show!
Shout out to blogger buddy C: This one's gotta go to Christine Rains for being a wonderful blogger friend and a hard working geek writer mom.
I've never seen Chuck, but I've heard good things about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. It's got everything--action, humor, romance, spy stuff.
DeleteI still haven't seen ant Chuck; it's shameful, I know. There's so much TV to catch up on I don't know where I'm at!

There are a lot of good shows to watch out there, but Chuck's one of the best!
DeleteI haven't seen this show...but then again, I haven't seen many shows. It sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteIt is terribly fun.
DeleteI have to echo everyone else, I've never seen the show, but I've heard it's fantastic. After your write-up, I'm definitely going to have to watch it ^_^

The last two seasons weren't as good as the first three... but I did enjoy the original ending!
DeleteYou know, I have always wanted to see this show. I might have to look it up on Netflix. :D
ReplyDeleteDo it :)
DeleteI never got into Chuck, but I could certainly see the appeal of the show.
ReplyDeleteAnd Christine is awesome!
I can see how a lot of different types of people would like it. Yes she is!
DeleteI've never watched Chuck--didn't know what it was about until I read your post. It sounds like a great show!
ReplyDeleteSoooo good!
DeleteHeh my post today was about the joys of Chuck! I agree what an awesome show! And character (all the characters in fact).
ReplyDeletehaha, high five.
DeleteWhen someone introduced me to Chuck, I worked at Best Buy on the Geek Squad... To my understanding, Chuck works at "Buy More" on the "Nerd Herd". That alone was enough to potentially get me into the show... But for some reason I never did. It's still high on my 'to watch' list.
ReplyDeletehaha! That is awesome. You should still check it out :)
DeleteAw, I love Chuck! I just couldn't make it through that last season...
ReplyDeleteThe last season wasn't quite as good... but the ending is original, not what I was expecting. I liked it.
DeleteAh, Chuck...a classic right up until it jumped the shark. But worth every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it right to the end :)
DeleteOh, I LOVE Chuck! I haven't watched it in a while (sadly), and I feel like I've missed a lot...
