Question: I couldn't agree more with your review of Chuck! I absolutely love this new series. I love that a guy I know — because who doesn't know a guy like Chuck? — is able to save the day. Zachary Levi is a complete revelation. He is so wonderful in this role! I love the supporting cast as well. I find myself completely amused by the whole story, which is rare in today's television landscape. Looking forward to hearing good news about Chuck.
Answer: The really good news about Chuck is that tonight's third episode is the best yet. After a few episodes of setup that appear to have underwhelmed some early viewers (but which made sense to me, as Chuck adjusts to a world gone topsy-turvy and wonders whom if anyone he can trust), this caper really lets Zach Levi shine. And Adam Baldwin is hilarious, especially whenever he's forced to play "trainee" at the Buy More store. But like most shows so far this season, it's not what you'd call a breakout hit. Still, it's holding its own in a very competitive environment, and if the media stays in its corner, that could also help. I know I'll do my part, especially if future episodes live up to their potential. But I'd be surprised if NBC doesn't stand behind this one for a good long while.
