If you’re gonna go the Law & Order route of doing the same thing every episode atleast don’t make it obvious. This is getting pathetic. You can see each plot point coming from a mile away and it doesnt help that the episode teasers give every little thing away. Chuck cold learn a thing or two from the X-Files (another show where only a couple characters dominate the entire show but the peripherals maintain a logical prescene). Allow episodes to follow one individual character with the others peaking in for only a brief shot. Follow Casey (it will endears us to him more), let Chuck battle his own demons sans Sarah, and let Sarah have an episode entirely to herself; I mean yes we have established she is damn fine, but there are just too many holes in her character to make us care- at. all.This show has something should turn on viewers across demographics: espionage. Not only that but Joe Six-Pack (har har) gets to be a spy.

The worst part about this show is that the premise is almost completely lost believeability within the reality of Chuck’s life. Why does the CIA need Chuck to keep his job at the Buy More? They introduce two complete spooks (Sarah and Casey) into the Burbank area and let them bounce around as if their jobs dont mean a thing. Also, who works retail and is allowed as much freedom as Chuck gets. Managers may be boneheaded but they don’t allow their best employees to leave in the middle of every shift.

If this show is to survive they need to vary the episode plotlines, give us more depth and spotlighting of characters, and make a reality that viewers can buy into.

I could have done without the Nicole Ritchie cameo though.
