So, I think I love Chuck.I hadn't really heard much about the show... something from Kristin or Korbi at E! about how funny he was at the TCA's, but before that... not much. Maybe I wasn't paying attention.
Today I saw the Pilot.
And it's funny. Like, actually funny. You have to suspend your disbelief for a little bit (The $11/hour computer geek opens an email and downloads all the US/World Security secrets into his brain via a parade of images - think the creepy room from LOST on speed, with less use of the word Jacob.) but it's worth it. Zachary Levi carries the show well for a newcomer. He's got that effortless, Jim Halpert-esque charm... slightly-dorky-but-irrestible-for-some-reason, quality. (That's a high compliment from me, ok? You're talking to the girl who loved Seth Cohen.) There's Sarah Lancaster (Everwood, What About Brian) as Chuck's sister, and newbies Yvonne Strzechowski and Joshua Gomez as the mysterious CIA agent and quirky best friend.
Chuck is full of... promise. Just like Ryan Howard. I have no idea how the rest of the TV audience will react - who can predict these things? - but I give it a hefty, "Go for it!"
Premieres at 8 p.m., September 24 on NBC

I just finished watching season 2 of The Office, my heart broke in a thousand pieces when Jim shed that single tear after telling Pam he loved her... only to be put together again after he went back and kissed her.
-sigh- I cant wait to watch season 3. Im way 2 invested in this Pam/Jim relationship.
Ah, who didn't have their heart broken after Jim's tear? I'd think you inhuman otherwise. ;) Isn't it fantastic. But beware, season 3 brings lots of frustration...
And I feel you 1000% on the over-invested in fictional relationships thing...
Enjoy!
