I am so glad Chuck is back on the air. One of the few bright spots in NBC's lineup, Chuck is by turns funny, action-packed, sexy, touching and romantic. How it does all these things, and all pretty damn well, is beyond me. But it does.
And this is not last year's Chuck either. With last year's finale changing the game, Chuck is no longer just the dopey guy with the Intersect in his head that can flash on things and provide info. Oh no, the new Intersect in his head still has him flashing, but gives him the abilities to do many things, like kick ass in a fight, and play Flamenco guitar (I know, that sounds strange, but it worked in the episode).
The show makes me laugh more than many straight comedies, and the sexiness is provided in large part by Yvonne Strahovski, who plays Chuck's CIA handler, Sarah Walker. She had a scene with another HOOOOT female spy changing into their undercover HOOOOT clothes....STEAM-Y!
The one thing that Chuck could lose is the Buy More gang. They are a real distraction to the meat of the show, and while absurd, are rarely funny. My idea would be to have Chuck run the Nerd Herd computer division of the Buy More off site. And Morgan could still be in at as liason for the main store to Chuck. Get rid of Buy More except in VERY small doses...keep Morgan...all is good.
Zachery Levi is perfect as the imperfect Chuck, who wants to be a spy, but has a heart too big to be cold blooded.
This should be a show NBC builds around...but knowing their track record, the will cancel it and replace it with the newest Knight Rider.
