"Chuck Bartowski? Paging Chuck Bartowski..."

This summer my brother, by way of my other brother, introduced me to my new favorite TV show, CHUCK. It's about a regular guy who, in a strange twist of fate, gets roped into becoming a spy. Now, I am generally not much of a TV watcher. I hate commercials, I hate waiting a week to find out what happens next, and I hate having to be home at a certain time to watch it. My parent's don't even have TV at their house! But I simply love CHUCK! And fortunately for me, we were a few seasons behind in catching on to the CHUCK phenomenon, so we watched it all on DVD.

It became my summer tradition to watch Chuck with my dad and my brother Stephen, projected in our living room (forget flat screen, we had a whole wall!). Talk about the best kind of bonding with my nerdy brother and dad!! It's just not the same without them. In fact, when Dad went out of town for a few days, Stephen made me wait to watch any more episodes!

Recently, I went home for a few days on a break from school. Since season 3 had just come out, we borrowed my roommates copy and had a 5 day CHUCK marathon to get through season 3 before I left. Not only was it an AWESOME season, full of great stories, new characters, and suspenseful plot twists, but I got to watch it with my very own Nerd Herd :) And let me tell you what, watching with them is like living an action movie at the same time!

I've heard it said that CHUCK has such universal appeal is because guys find the title character relatable and women find him adorable. And I tell you, it is true!! Plus it has this genius blend of comedy and action, with the just the right amount of eye candy and sexual tension to keep things interesting.

If you have not seen it, come on over, I'll gladly re-watch it with you :) I seriously love this show! I love all the zany characters! And it seems all my favorite people love the CHUCK crew too. Until I find my own Chuck, my dates have to pass the CHUCK test. Don't like my show? Kind of a deal breaker.



And may I just add that if Mr. Zachary Levi is anywhere near as adorably nerdy as his fictional counterpart (and I've heard he is), I would gladly have him save my world - or my computer - any day ;)
