Schwartz called it Alias meets The Office, while the dude who plays Chuck called it The Bourne Identity meets The 40-Year-Old Virgin--the latter being more appropriate, IMO.
Everything about it suggests it'll be a hit, and I think a fair many Zoners will dig it.

Totally true. So bummed I missed this at Con. What a great experience that would have been and I just LOVE Josh Schwartz (yes I fucking adore the OC. Sue me.)
Excellent show. I hope it lasts so badly.

Yeah, she was like the cute girl next door, right down to the buck teeth.

What? No way! Next you'll be telling me that Cuck and Adam Baldwin will fight like cats and dogs while slowly developing a deep and meaningful friendship!
It won't happen, I tell you!
CBS' comedy woes left an opening for NBC's new geek-spy-comedy-action-thing, Chuck. And while good-natured Chuck ran second to Dancing with the Stars in the 8-9 p.m. hour, with 9.2 million viewers, it didn't come close to matching the audience that Deal or No Deal delivered to NBC last year on premiere night (15.8 million viewers for the game show's two-hour opener), or even last week (11.7 million viewers).

Sorry folks, Chuck is not a funny guy, IMO. The show was kinda luke-warm. I will give it another shot, but the whole thing seems done on the cheap, and again, the aping of Fallon is atrocious, just like Fallon.
unikrunk wrote:The mixing of genres on this one is not working for me; I feel like I am watching a sci-fi version of Sledge Hammer. If they played it straight with the exception of Chuck as the everyman and humor element, rather than trying to pound 'funny' into every scene it would be much more enjoyable.
This, I would be signed up. But trying to put humor in every scene with every character does not make the action/thriller stuff have any impact; in fact, in renders it toothless.
I gave it two shots, will watch one more to see if things coalesce into a watchable and enjoyable show.
Right now, I am giving it 4 out of 10 thumbs up, and 1 of those is for Chuck’s sister, whom is 31 flavors of HAWT.

I'm out.
It's too forced. Trying too hard to be a comedy and trying to hard to be an action/drama without being that successful at either.
