5.0 out of 5 stars Shiny, shiny, more shiny, plus characters and plot!, October 24, 2007

By	Emperial Young (Roanoke, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I downloaded the Pilot for the simple reason that we had just gotten the TiVo all hooked up and registered and, at the time, the episode was free. Well, okay, it also helped that I wanted to say I'd seen it first, and I wanted to see how this whole downloadable TV thing worked.

I had seen previews for Chuck. The network had hyped it up so much, it was impossible to have missed it, but the previews did not impress me. I had no expectation of this show. I was thinking I would get halfway through the Pilot and then decide to watch something else.

The promos were wrong, wrong, wrong. They totally failed to highlight all of the wonderful things about this show -- about this episode! It was smart and funny, with good performances and writing and directing, but the thing that most blew me away was the lighting and color.

The DOP for Chuck deserves some serious recognition. The show looks simply incredible. It's so bright, it's so colorful, and everything is lit in such a way that it reads beautifully on the screen. I probably got lost in just oohing and ahhing at the technical accomplishment of making a show this bright look this good a bit too much. Normally, shows seem to tend more towards dark, it seems to be somewhat easier to make dark look good.

I wasn't too distracted by the shininess -- I still had enough presence of mind to admire the characters and story. Chuck is endearing, very human, and the cast of crazy characters around him only serve to underscore how much of a person Chuck is, a person like any of us. It's probably the show's strongest selling point (aside from the shiny). Chuck may be in a world far beyond ours, but we can picture ourselves in his place.

Plus, the show is funny, and I laughed. It's well worth watching every week.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clumsy Nerdy Action, February 24, 2008

By	Kevin Trippel "TV Genius" (Independence, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Chuck is one of the shows that I am most looking forward to with the writers strike over. It is a great blend of comedy, nerdyness, action, and smoking hot women. Chuck is the head nerd at the Buy More, a Best Buyesque big box store. He has had a great deal of secret government information downloaded into his brain. He often flashes on people or things he sees, which crank up the action in the show. The cast is great and the balance between comedy and action is great. Chuck gets himself into all kinds of trouble and he often has to find creative ways to get himself back out. Check this show out Mondays on NBC and until it comes back catch up with episode on UNBOX.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly delightful, February 14, 2008

By	Eleanor O'Brien - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't expect to like this show but I do. I find it humorous that the store is named Buy More.

The romantic relationships are cute and predictable, just like they should be in a comedy.

The "spy stuff" is even comical.

I find it to be well written and an entertaining half hour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pilot?
They call Chuck a "pilot". He's not a pilot. He's some guy who works in a big-box electronics store.

Very misleading.

We enjoy the show but the basic premise of the show, shown in the pilot, is silly. I won't explain it to avoid being a spoiler. Read more

I've only seen the pilot episode, but it was definitely worth whatever Amazon's Unbox charged me. The women are stunning, and the show is clever. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
