First Thoughts: Chuck

I really liked the pilot for this show, though I am curious to see how they're going to be able to make this into a weekly hour long show as they don't have too much to go on. However, the pilot was very cute, and engaging and had some awesome action sequences. It was good to see Matthew Bomer again from the eight episode tv show that flopped last summer but I enjoyed "Traveller". He plays Chuck's old college buddy and super CIA agent who does really cool action stuff. But is killed when he gets top secret info and emails it to Chuck before he dies. The show was cute and enjoyable and worth watching especially if you have nothing going on before Heroes which I'm in love with more then anything. I'm looking forward to seeing what they plan on doing with this show.

Why I'm Excited For: Chuck

A couple of months ago a preview aired for the upcoming show Chuck. What I could surmize was that it was about a nerd type guy doing spy type things with a beautiful woman. I was almost right on the mark with that one. It seems to be tech guy Chuck gets secrets downloaded into his brain somehow and has to keep away from the people that want him dead because of it, but he has some help from opperatives. So it's almost a "I'm a loser, what would happen if my life were like that" type show. Something that we think of whenever we see a James Bond movie.

Another reason why I'm excited is the network is keeping it up by placing it just before Heroes. Which will do very well. But probably the biggest draw for me is this man to the right. None other then Adam Baldwin from the wonderful show "Firefly". A short lived but excellent sci-fi program. He's one of the main characters and I loved his acting in the show so I'm super excited to see him in a new role. Chuck starts this coming Monday an hour before the Season premeir of Heroes.
