Yay!!! I think Chuck was my favorite show this evening. (Though wasn't it nice of NBC to make an evening of all similar related action/scifi shows?)
So Chuck was pretty much what I expected by making me think of the OC several times. And I about died when Chuck's ringtone for Morgan was Journey's Anyway You Want It. I loved that gag with Atwood. I could have totally seen Adam Brodie/Seth Cohen here, so it was a little odd yet intriguing to have someone else. Can't wait to see how Levi grows into the character.
The introduction of such a wild premise took away from getting to know the characters. So I'm looking forward to that in the episodes to come. Adam Baldwin was hilarious as ever! And I even thought the CIA girl was likeable. Nothing makes for a good show like an enjoyable cast.
The real weakness of the show was that it wasn't as tightly structured as it could have been. By the end of the show, I wasn't sure if we had moved very far in plot (which could be because the show is also being billed as a comedy). The subliminal image flashes were always distracting and I hope they move away from that since we comprehend the concept and don't need to see it each time.
Next week looked like it could be flat out hilarious with the new trainee!
