FIVE OBSERVATIONS
4 This show just keeps getting better and better. Zachary Levi is superb as Chuck, and nicely balances geeky, freaked out and grounded. He holds the show together beautifully.
4 I understand that many wrote off Chuck based on his best friend, Morgan. True, he was annoying, but this season he is just a minor character along with the rest of the Buy More staff. Their side stories are highly entertaining and usually link nicely with the main plot.
4 The writing is fantastic. All the storylines come together well. The love story is moving along pretty nicely. The one-liners are frickin’ hilarious, and usually given to Casey.
4 Adam Baldwin steals almost every scene he’s in. I’m glad Baldwin found a role reminiscent of Jayne from Firefly. Give this guy an Emmy.
4 Chuck is a much “funner” version of Alias mixed some Office antics. Not bad company to be with.

I'm watching in the UK. I agree almost exactly with your comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's more than time that Adam had his own name-above-the-title blockbuster [and I hope it's a really good one]; his acting has Oscar potential.
