Chuck: I don't know. You're hot. I'm super nerdy cute. And I'm terribly funny. And you look awesome kicking spy ass. What's not to love?
Seriously, what the f#$k is going on? Okay, I understand the low ratings for Friday Night Lights. It's sometimes a bit too real and painful to watch, but Chuck is both fun and fast, a combo of comedy and action but that isn't dumbed down (oh wait, is that the problem?). Think Alias but less dark and broody. So why aren't you all watching? Why are ratings so low?
It's so awesome it even has a character named Captain Awesome! (yes, he's shirtless below. You're welcome girls and gays! Yes, this show is for you too, despite all the kick ass action sequences, spy techno mumbo jumbo and Yvonne Strahovski (above with Zachary Levi's Chuck))

Other bloggers will all be chiming in with their love but I don't want to make the show some kind of cult show that only chronic TV watchers will like (so as much as I love Whedon shows, I know it's not for everyone). But CHUCK IS. It's the perfect blend of so many genres and it's light and fun yet done in such a smart and clever way that I don't understand why no one watches it? Unless it's from fear of forgetting to switch networks and getting caught at looking at Heroes, which may now be hazardous to your health.
