Chuck gets the best lines, of course.
I had this as my siggy for awhile: "I'm working on a long-term plan. Just have to pick a font."

I got the free dvd at Blockbuster hoping to see Bionic woman, but that show isn't on the dvd, so I watched Chuck. I had low expectations but it turned out to be a great show. It reminded me a bit of Hackers. I loved the Nerd Herd car, and the bunch of works in the store. Lots of great very nerdy catchy quotes. Adam Baldwin is great of course, my favorite scene is

the very end where he's wearing a lovely green shirt.
Keep shiny!

Chuck is starting now, followed by Heroes and then Journeyman.

Both the NBC affiliates in my area are slaughtering Chuck. I sure hope this is a local phenomenon. They keep having problems with the digital file. GRRRRRRRR

Sorry, but I guess it must be regional because I saw the whole thing with no trouble.
Oh, my. I did not intend to get hooked on this show, but I did anyway. Loads of laughs! I can see myself watching this again. And again. And again...
"Group hug? Awesome."

Chuck did not disappoint. And despite some mixed reviews of Journeyman, I like it too.
Looks like I have my Monday night TV lineup set.

I liked CHUCK too, not thinking I would. It's almost ALMOST mainstream so it should find an audience, especially playing before Heroes so a fan base is already set.
It seemed just a little too hard to believe though that the NSA and the CIA would be fighting each other like that. Almost as though they were enemy spies. Anyone know, is there THAT much animosity between the two Bureaus?
The blonde did look like a Vicki Vale type, and funny she mentions on the date her last boyfriend was named Bruce. May be there are Batman fans on the writing staff.
And yes it was wonderful seeing Adam (had to keep reminding myself he wasn't Jayne, he wasn't Jayne. Well for one, he was shaven and in a suit and for another this character knows big words 
) Have to say though for most of the show, I didn't like his character at all. Not that he was mean he was just so cold blooded, but by the end of it when Chuck's told to train the new guy and we see Adam in that hilariously aweful green shirt standing there smiling evilly.... big smile and swoon. I just HATE his hair cut. Really, too-much-hair.
And though Chuck's friend can be annoying GOD he's funny as hell. Everyone needs a funny nerdy sidekick. Even a funny nerd. Certainly a lot of laughs, I couldn't believe how loud the chuckles came, and though I'm not saying it's the best I've seen, since Heroe's and Eureka (of which the second season I've yet to see) it may be the only other show I tune in for. And that it's on BEFORE Heroe's.... me am just so happy.
"Don't freak out....."
Oh, and maybe, just maybe (don't wanna jinx it) Adam finally found a show that will last and give him a long continuous paycheck. Alright Adam.

Every time "Casey" pulled a gun or said something nasty, we all yelled 'BAD JAYNE! BAD JAYNE!' at him.
And since she pulled that Bruce name out of her butt, maybe she was also thinking Batman.... or wasn't the real boyfriend's name Bryce?

I thought the show was great. I'm definitely going to watch it, especially given that it's on right before Heroes, which I would have been watching anyway...

It's been my experience that the intel alphabet agencies have even more animosity between them than was portrayed, actually. There are some significant rivalries, and they all pretty much boil down to petty turf wars. It's hurt the country significantly on more than one occasion. Even after 9/11, the formation of the unified intelligence directorate, and the mandate to play nice with each other (and trust me, it wasn't going to happen any other way, regardless of what tragedy befell the nation), they still infight more than girls at a beauty pagent (or at least what I've heard about them...I don't have any first, or personal second-hand accounts about that).
Amiton.
