Chuck!

Chuck Bartowski - Zachary Levi
Sarah Walker - Yvonne Strechowski
Morgan Pace - Joshua Gomez
Ellie Bartowski - Sarah Lancaster
John Casey - Adam Baldwin

The plot of the shows takes a nerdy computer installer at a big name electronics store that gets an email from a friend/CIA agent, that downloads all of america's secrets into his brain through a series of photographs.

Now the sum up of the plot, when read aloud sounds completely idiotic, and that is exactly what I thought when i watched the first episode. But, the second episode may have just put it back on my radar. The supporting cast of characters will keep this show afloat at least for a entire season. Adam Baldwin delivers a believable person as an NSA hitman, the fact that the NSA placed him at the electronics store, and his interactions with the other employees will bring the laughs with it. The main character, Chuck, could use alittle work, as long as the akward relationship between him and the CIA agent Sarah Walker, stays the way it is will continue you to make it a little more realistic. If they do end up falling in love the show will then take a long downward spiral.
Morgan Pace, Chuck's best friend, is obviously the shows comedy relief and is delivering. Joshua Gomez's brand of comedy is whats hot right at the moment, as long as the one liners and gestures are quick and to the point they will continue to be entertaining. All and all I would definitely at least check out a couple episodes and see what you think. This might be a show that grows on you, not like lost or heroes the shows that grip the nation and take up all the commercial time, but i believe the Chuck will have its fair share of followers as long as it stays where it is most of the heroes fans are probably already watching the station just to past the time and to me any viewers are better than no viewers.
