I thought it was cute, but not sure it's a keeper for me.

The postives:
Chuck and the guy who plays him;
Adam Baldwin, obviously, and the best thing I've seen him in on tv since Angel

The negatives:
The female lead (forget her name) is NO!!!! Sydney Bristow or Jennifer Garner...just doesn't work for me
Also, the show was cute, but not nearly as funny or entertaining as I hoped. Maybe it'll grow on me more with further eps. (assuming they'll air)

"I'm 1120 years old. Just give me a frigging beer!"--Anya

"All I had to do is want it bad enough...and guess what I want to do now, you prissy son of a bitch?"--Spike

For Joss!

I liked this show. I thought it was interesting and pretty funny! I hope it continues that way!

I had seen it previously, via the free Amazon download, and I felt the same way. It was good enough that I'll watch again. Can't say the same for Bionic Woman. I like Captain Awesome.

However, it was nowhere near as amazing as the futon critic makes it out to be. And I think the premise is highly suspect, but that's ok.

Select to view spoiler:


The climax is completely ludicrous; why is a laptop that's controlling a bomb connected to the internet anyway?

It's on my Tivo. I'll watch it tonight. I did watch Journeyman though. Pretty good. It's not on F*X, so it might actually stand a chance.

Maybe it has a wireless internet card. And they are in a hotel/conference center so there is a network present.

And come on how funny is it that a terrorist plot was stopped with porn.

MOST newer laptops have built in wireless, and MOST hotel/conference centers have free wireless, so there ya go

I think that in order to enjoy this show, you're gonna have to "suspend disbelief" and just roll with it.
It had plenty of action, physical comedy, witty dialogue. On the whole I found it very entertaining.
Morgan is the perfect irritating and slightly creepy sidekick. He reminds me of Oswald & Lewis from The Drew Carey Show.
It was good enough that I'll give it a shot. Makes a nice, light-hearted lead-in to Heroes.

The chemistry between (whatever her name is) and Chuck seems quite good. Although, when she mentioned her ex, I was expecting him to be Adam's character instead of the dead guy.
Also, I hope Chuck makes sure that he isn't held responsible for the damage to the company car.

I could stand to hear a little more.

Fun show, as long you don't ever take it seriously. The show's greatest strength is its stupidity, 'cause that's where the funny is.

Am I the only one who got the Zork reference?

Chuck's computer getting "destroyed".

Large Mart.

People from The X-Files (besides Adam Baldwin):
Casey's boss - season 2 "Sleepless"
Bryce - season 4 "Never Again"

Don't puke on the C-4.

That was my favorite line.
