Well, at least one show on NBC tonight didn't suck. xDD In fact, it was quite good; a refreshing satirical comedy. (pilot spoilers)
Chuck Bartowski is a socially awkward twenty-something who works as a computer expert at the Nerd Herd, a "Geek Squad" inspired techbench at his local Buy More, a local electronics retailer, with his best friend, Morgan Santos. Chuck's sister, Ellie, is a doctor who is constantly looking out for his best interests and wants to help him find a girlfriend. On the night of his birthday party, Chuck receives an e-mail from his former Stanford University roommate, Bryce Larkin, who is now a CIA agent. When he opens it, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data, once only privy to the government of the United States, into his brain. Both the NSA and the CIA want the intelligence returned to them and dispatch agents of their own, Major John Casey and Sarah Walker, respectively, to retrieve the data. As Chuck experiences flashes of memory activated by certain subliminal triggers, he must use the knowledge he now possesses to help the government thwart assassins and international terrorists, thereby upending his previously uneventful life. Chuck's decision to keep his newfound occupation a secret from his family and friends and to live his life as normally as possible forces Casey and Walker to establish an uneasy alliance with the shared goal of protecting Chuck at all costs.

I really like the video game references and overall comedic style of the show. I can actually relate to Chuck, as odd as it sounds. xDDD What did you guys think?
