As a youngin who once was obsessed with The OC (ok once might be overstating. I am still a bit obsessed with the first season because it is so amazing...ha), I will follow anything Josh Schwartz does including Gossip Girl even though it is a terrible show but incredibly addicting. Back to Chuck, premise is about a nerdy chic guy who gets an email from his ex roommate at Stanford (which Chuck got kicked out of) who works for the CIA sending him all this intelligence that gets stuck in Chuck's head. Chuck then gets to work with a CIA agent and an NSA agent (Jayne from Firefly) as they try to save the world using Chuck's help. Pretty much the same plot as Jake 2.0 but funnier mainly because half the show takes place in a Buy More, which is the equivalent of Best Buy, and the activities of the Nerd Herd, which is the equivalent of the Geek Squad.
Chuck (the character, not the entire show. I know it gets confusing) is essentially a smarter, more important Seth Cohen. If Seth Cohen grew up, got kicked out of Stanford by his roommate, worked at a Buy More, and had the entire intelligence files of the CIA/NSA implanted in his brain. Cool huh?!? Chuck and Morgan have the best bromance EVER also. ever, seriously:
Yes, that is the large, slightly phalic monster thing from Dune.
It is back for a second season, which is good because it was almost screwed over by the writers strike. The second season starts on September 29th.
