Chuck!

Chuck!

I know this blog is supposed to be about movies, but lately I've been obsessed with this new T.V. show called Chuck ...So I've extended this to everything that relates to televised entertainment. Chuck is a show based on a young man who has had the unfortunate experience of having all of the government's secrets downloaded into his brain.

Now, I have to warn you ... If you're a cynic and you can't suspend reality for five seconds, then this isn't the show for you. This T.V. show is about the C.I.A. and the N.S.A. but I highly doubt that it's even remotely true to life. Initially it seems the show is some kind of suspense-Drama, but in reality it's a comedy. Chuck is unrealistic and hilarious.

Chuck is a computer geek who used to attend Stanford University. While he was attending school there Chuck was in a fraternity where he roomed with a man named Bryce Larkin. Bryce Larkin stole Chuck's girlfriend and then got him kicked out of school his senior year for cheating on a test. We later find out that Bryce is a rogue CIA agent who steals all the intel from both the CIA and NSA. He sends the encrypted images to Chuck and then destroys the computer they were stored on, so now Chuck is the CIA/NSA's human cross-reference.

My uncle recommended this show to me, and I was a little doubtful at first. It took me a couple of episodes to really fall in love with it, but now I'm hooked. Chuck airs Monday nights at 8:00 pm on NBC before Heroes (another great show).
