Ten Reasons To Watch Chuck


  1. It's a show about a nerd who gets top-secret, super-classified government intel stuck in his head... and now he fights crime!
  2. Zachary Levi, who plays said nerd Chuck, is adorable and remarkably attractive in a rumpled sort of way. 
  3. His handlers, CIA agent Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) and NSA agent John Casey (Adam Baldwin) are just badass. 
  4. The rest of the cast is just awesome, which one rather expects when you have a character nicknamed Captain Awesome.
  5. The guest stars! Matthew Bomer, Tricia Helfer, Scott Bakula, Chevy Chase, John Larroquette... It's an ongoing parade of awesome.
  6. The UST between Chuck and Sarah. Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski have amazing chemistry and when Chuck and Sarah finally get together, it's going to be epic in the best Veronica Mars sense, "Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, bloodshed. Epic." (To put it in perspective, Booth and Brennan wish they had this much UST.)
  7. It's co-created by the guy who brought us The O.C....which, admit it, you loved.
  8. The really cute opening credits are set to an instrumental version of a Cake song. Cake! Who doesn't love them? 
  9. The Buy More, where Chuck works, is basically Best Buy dressed up for TV. And so if you believe what you see on TV, most of the folks at Best Buy are apathetic at best, extortionists at worst. Hah!
  10. Best use of Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto ever!
