    The season premiere was filled with cliches of the Super Spy, Chuck, who miraculously manages to out fight ten Russians and then chooses to save his friends instead of finding out the secrets of his lost mother. Yes, we get it....Chuck is an all around great guy in a "complicated" CIA world.

    Moderately entertaining, but disappointingly repetitive from episode to episode. The acting is too melodramatic to be fresh for long, the relationships and situations are awfully trite; cliche characters, gratuitous camera shots. Really it's a bit of fluff with no substance whatever. Sure, it's meant as a light spoof show, but it gets kinda old pretty quick.

Really it's a bit of fluff with no substance whatever. Sure, it's meant as a light spoof show, but it gets kinda old pretty quick. Neither good nor bad, it's totally mid-range. If you're high, under 25, and there's nothing else on, then go for it. Probably more appealing to those of the male persuasion due to the female eye candy, would've benefited from at least one hot guy in the cast.… Expand

    CHUCK is a pleasantly quirky TV show if there ever was one. It seems to span over almost every genre--namely comedy and action/adventure, but there are many mixed-in ones as well, such as drama, thriller, romance...you name it--and it is funny, but the action-based plot seems to bring down the humor, just as the offtrack humor seems to bring down the plot.

    While there are a a few too many "awkward-guy moments," there are enough genuinely sweet ones to balance them out. [28 Sep 2007, p.93]

    The pilot is full of dark, dangerous and sexy moments.

    It's actually a kick to watch. Its joys are broader and self-consciously zanier than the CW series.
