Anyone catch the pilot of this new show? Personally I thought it was a great first episode and I'll definitely continue watching (though I worry it might be one of the good shows that gets canceled). The show didn't take itself too seriously and I found the action, comedy and story good, plus it has a great cast, mainly Adam Baldwin who's always awesome and Yvonne Strzechowski (who's seriously hot).

I heard about this show and thought it looked interesting, but I did not get a chance to watch the series premiere as I was busy. The concept seems alright, but I doubt this show will last

Well, they said the same about Heroes and look what happened to that show. I think Chuck may just last the season just for the fact that it precedes Heroes and has the geek-chic theme which seems to be all the rage on TV this season. If any, it's the more serious drama series starting up this year which seem to be the weak links in the new fall shows.

Chuck just completed showing it's third episode of its rookie season and I must say that it's turned into a must-see show for me. It's one of the new shows that I now must see every time a new episode is on. I will agree with many and say that Yvonne Strzechowski is extremely hot. Chuck's sister is quite the hot one herself.

The spy stuff and intrigue between Chuck, Susan and Casey makes for some funny moments, but the ones between the Nerd Herd crew led by Chuch and the floor associates always cracks me up. You got the Nerd Herd (their version of the Geek Squad) crew with their need to have two-hour breaks, using store equipment to surf for porn, and one guy even calls himself an IT connossieur because he works with Mac and not XP or Linux. Then you got the floor associates who sell the hardware who take their job way too seriously.

I do hope that they don't rush whatever is brewing between Chuck and Susan too quickly. There's something there but the play between the two pretending to be a couple is funnier especially with all of Chuck's friends and family so surprised that he landed such a hot "girlfriend".

I was a bit worried when I saw the second episode since it didn't offer a whole lot more than the pilot, but the third episode improved and reassured me that they shouldn't run out of plot lines or jokes too soon.

I tend to find there are two kinds of pilots, one type spends a lot of the time introducing the show/characters and then you usually find that the rest of the season is a lot better, and the other kind throws all it's jokes in the first episode and the rest of the show is completely shite. It's probably a little early to say for sure, but Chuck seems like the first type.

Hawk and I can't be the only ones watching this great new show. I like how they ended the first half of the season. Again Casey had some great scenes and lines. For once Morgan wasn't such an annoyance and I must say Anna is quite the cutie. Not on the same plane of hotness as Sarah but cute still. I can definitely see Anna doing lots of cosplay.

Seen some of it. Thought it was nothing special. Not bad, but I wouldn't call it great. I found a few parts of the episodes I saw rather cliche. The whole series of events surrounding the sandwich girl, for example.

I've missed the first few episodes, but I love the show.
I find it quite funny, and enjoy watching it. I like the humorous parts with the Nerd Herd, and the action scenes.
My favorite episode so far is Black Friday. "Pineapple" lol
I'm not too keen Anna, but it's mainly due to her looks. It's kind of a turn off for me. But she's okay.
I love Chuck's sister Elle. She's so sweet, and protective of her brother. I love siblings being close to each other, and watching out for one another. I really liked the episode where she got hit by that truth virus.

The last episode made me laugh. I loved the rocket part, but man poor Casey. I missed the first episodes, so I had no idea Casey was suppose to kill Chuck once they got the intersect back on. However, it's not surprising. It was a nice way to end things off though. Sarah stays with Chuck and they get their friendship back. And Casey knows the time is coming, leaving a good cliff hanger.

Ellie is also a character that I like very much. she is so cute in how much she wants Chuck to succeed and be happy and yet still treats him like a baby brother with emphasis on baby. I think by now everyone is pretty much a fan of Captain Awesome. the ladies like it when he's shirtless and the guys like the fact that he's awesome without being a jock-douchebag about it.

I know some people think the show shouldn't use the Buy More crew too much in each episode but I think the comedy with the Buy More crew helps balance out all the spy and danger stuff Chuck, Sarah and Casey go through each and every episode. Plus, Buy More also means Sarah dropping buy in her Wiener-Licious outfit.

Anyone else watch Chuck last night? I loved it. As usual Ellie was humorous, being sad and drunk, and Captain Awesome was awesome lol. I liked the part where the boss isn't paying attention to what he's doing and doesn't notice some things missing.

Oh, wait it looks like it won't air for us Yankees until the 24th. Weird how they moved it to Thursday instead of keeping it on Monday.
