Go Chuck Yourself

In a tweet: Chuck is a comedy about “Ordinary guy” that dl’s a spy program that makes him a super spy. Knowledge w/o the experience. Tune in NBC M @ 8/7C.

Now I normally wouldn’t Wikipedia it (http://twe.ly/Lgi) and tell you to watch the show from the beginning but I want you to watch this show. So stop reading if you don’t want spoilers.

I am serious.

Chuck centers around Charles “Chuck” Bartowski. When we meet Chuck he is a self professed loser who is stuck working at a Buy More in their tech services department (think Geek Squad) and living with his Doctor sister Ellie and her Doctor boyfriend Devon “Captain Awesome” Woodcomb. It turns out that Chuck wasn’t always a loser though. He was a top student at Stamford and was on his way to being a successful tech mogul. That was until his college best friend/ college roommate, Bryce Larkin (of White Collar) turned him in for cheating on a test. To add to it, Bryce also stole Chuck’s college sweetheart and love of his loins Jill. Chuck was expelled and had no choice to move home broken hearted, bewildered, and stuck in limbo.

Then the email happened.

Bryce sent Chuck an encrypted email that contained a program called the Intersect that was downloaded into Chuck’s photographic memory of a brain. The Intersect contained every piece of information that multiple agencies (CIA, FBI, Oprah, etc.) around the world had collected on Terrorists including an organization called Fulcrum. This was the only copy of the program and Chuck was the only person that had it. The computer that housed the program was destroyed and for better or worse Chuck was the only person that could access this through flashes. The government sent two agents to protect him while they worked to create a new Intersect. Part of protecting him was that FBI agent Colonel John Casey would work at the Buy More with Chuck and his ne’er-do-well childhood bestfriend Morgan Grimes, while the CIA’s Sarah Walker would pose as his girlfriend and work at a nearby Hot Dog fast food restaurant. While this was happening Chuck had to live two lives and not let anyone know his secret.

To not spoil every surprise while you go back and watch the show you will need to know the following in Season 4. Everyone now knows Chuck’s secret. Chuck and Ellie were abandoned by their parents and raised by each other. The reason why? Their parents are SPIES! Chuck’s dad was Orion (played by Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap) a tech brain that actually created the Intersect and saved Chuck by creating an update that actually turned him into a real spy with the ability to actually fight. Chuck’s Dad was recently murdered by Fulcrum, which has just sent us on a quest to find Chuck’s Mom played by James Cameron’s Alimony Recipient Linda Hamilton or as I like to call her Sarah Connor. The problem being that Chuck promised Ellie that he would stop the spy game. Also, Casey’s daughter Alex kinda has a thing for spy-in-training Morgan, which does not please the Colonel in any way shape or form. Lastly, Chuck and Sarah have finished the will they won’t they dance and are a real couple. That’s all you need to know to get into Chuck. Go watch the first three season which are available on iTunes AND Netflix. I am also available for questions.
