Review of Chuck

Chuck (2007–2012)
7/10
Not bad, not bad...
29 October 2007
So I gave this TV show a chance seeing as how Lost, Heroes, and The Office are the only other things I care about on TV (oh, most of the Discovery Channel is good too).

Regardless...I gave Chuck a chance and by the end of the first episode I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It was exciting, funny, and really just plain fun. By the second (or maybe third) episode I began to realize the plot was actually a bit dull and it was mainly because one episode in particular just seemed like a waste of my life. But I forgave it and went on.

I read all these harsh reviews from other people and while some of them MAY be correct in certain aspects I just say, "Lighten up". It's fun. Period. It's not ground breaking, deep, or life changing, but it's a pretty darn good alternative to most entertainment out there and like I said if you can just not be so critical you might find that you enjoy it.

For example, I agree that it's near impossible if not absolutely impossible for every government secret that this country contains to ALL be sent in one email overnight on an everyday PC nonetheless. But also I don't believe actual super heroes walk the earth or that one man can stop multiple world crises in one whole day throughout his entire life, yet 'Heroes' and '24' are some of the top rated shows on television today.

My main point: Chuck might not be glorious, worthy of rewards, or breath-taking; but it IS fun, it is laughable, and it is worth giving a shot.
