First and foremost, the show is funny, and has some great characters. Chuck works as a computer tech in the local Buy More, as part of the "Nerd Herd." He and his goofy friends know everything about computers and cell phones, but nothing about women. Chuck's best friend, Morgan, works with him at Buy More and has a major crush on Chuck's gorgeous sister, Ellie (played by Sarah Lancaster, the brunette in the pic below). Ellie is a doctor, and so is her boyfriend, Captain Awesome (nicknamed that because his reaction to everything is "awesome!"). Chuck and Ellie are roommates.

Bryce's former partner, Sarah Walker (the blonde in the pic above), is assigned to track down the recipient of the secrets, and bring him to Washington for interrogation. However, since the secrets are located inside Chuck, and he is not really aware of it, the plans change. Sarah is asked to guard Chuck and make sure nothing happens to him, while the CIA figures out a way to extract the information from his brain. She takes a job at a hog dog restaurant (Weinerlicious) next door to the Buy More as her cover. Naturally, there is a turf war between the NSA and the CIA, and the NSA also sends an agent to watch over Chuck. He gets a job at the Buy More for his cover.

Bottom line, the show is a comedy, despite all of the CIA-type stuff. You will not confuse this show with 24 or NCIS, or something like that. There is a lot of slapstick humor, nerd jokes, and general comedic hi-jinks throughout the show. The character of Chuck is a likable (and watchable) one, and the show could become a hit. His friends and family are appealing and funny, and many of the side characters are good as well. I'm curious to see where this one will go.
