Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching

Oh, this is such a tough one...

After reviewing my many, many choices, I have to say Chuck...

Chuck Bartowski, expelled from Stanford, now works as the head of the Nerd Herd for Buy More (Think Geek Squad and Best Buy. Yes, we call it the Buy More now).

The Buy More is full of the "Dregs of Humanity", stalkers, gaming geeks, guys who think sniffing glue is a great way to wake up in the morning...

Then, his former best friend from Stanford, who was responsible for being expelled, stuck something called the 'Intersect' into his head.

It makes him the ultimate in intelligence gathering.

He hears a phrase, sees a face of a spy or terrorist, he 'Flashes'. He knows every single bit of intel on that subject that the US government knows.

So, the CIA and the NSA join forces to protect their newest and most valuable asset.

Why do I love this show?

It's quirky to the extreme. Chuck tries to live his normal life and his spy life without them intersecting.

And, the guys and gals at the Buy More (the land of BuyMoria) are just plain bizarre!

I have yet to meet a character I don't like. Even Captain Awesome, a perfect doctor with a physique to die for, and who is totally in love with Chuck's sister (to the point that he does everything in his power to make her happy). On paper, you'd think you'd hate him.

But... He's just Awesome!

(I still think he'd be perfect as Captain America... [ahem])

Anyway, when Amazon next has that sale where TV seasons are on massive sale? Buy Chuck, season 1.

That's an order.

30 days, meme
