Chuck (2007-2012)

When a twenty-something computer geek inadvertently downloads critical government secrets into his brain, CIA and NSA assign two agents to protect him and exploit such knowledge, turning his life upside down.

I am rediscovering this show and it is still AMAZING!  I watched Chuck when it first came out in 2007 and was loyal until season 4.  After everything went down, some characters did some things that I didn't agree with so I stopped watching.  I did watch the end of the series though and I cried (which means a lot because I didn't know what was going on but the acting was so good that I got the jist of what was happening and why it was sad).

Sorry to be so completely vague but this show is totally awesome so I don't want to ruin anything in case you can find the time to watch it.  And you should really try hard to find time.  Just watch the pilot, it WILL suck you in.

So Zachary Levi plays Chuck, a computer nerd working at a best buy equivalent, whose life gets turned upside down.  His bestie from college sent him some secret government files which suddenly makes him the most highly sought after government asset.  Enter Sarah and Casey, his handlers from the CIA and NSA respectively.  The chemistry between this group is great. Chuck's girlish screams in the face of danger give this show a new twist in the classic spy story.  For once the hero that saves the day is your average guy who fears guns and gets nervous around a pretty girl.

There is also great acting between Chuck and Sarah...their cover is boyfriend/girlfriend so no one would give their relationship a second look.  But the fact that Chuck has only had one previous girlfriend ever in his life is evident when he and Sarah have to do things like go on dates...or makeout in the broom closet :)

This couple is one of the cutest and most loving couples on tv.  It's obvious that they both love each other but because they are co-workers Sarah doesn't want things to go too far...especially since things did go VERY far with her last partner and that didn't go very well at all.

Casey is a whole different story.  He is the classic spy who is obsessed with guns and violence.  He doesn't hesitate to shoot and is always comically angry.  His dry sarcasm makes every episode worth watching.  Chuck is so genuine and Casey is so...not...that their chemistry is freaking hilarious!

All of the side characters are cool too, but there are so many that I won't go into detail here. The main troupe is great, they alone should be enough reason to give this show a shot.

So I babbled a lot in this entry, but here's a recap:  Chuck is a nerd who becomes a 'spy' and gets new awesome government friends and they go on awesome missions together and save the world.

In short, WATCH THIS SHOW! (please!) IT'S AWESOME!
