Default Should I be watching Chuck?

Caught my first episode of this show tonight - and actually quite enjoyed it.

Has it been good its entire first season? Should I be watching this?

To be quite honest I don't really want to have another show to watch - but some of the shows I enjoyed last year have been pretty much poop this year - so perhaps I should give this one a go?

Girls are smoking hot in this show.. That reason alone is enough to watch it in HD

Been watching for the same reasons as Fobby. So far the quality has been consistent enough to keep me hooked. Life is still king for me but I've enjoyed Chuck on the side.

Agreed! However the show itself I think is a joke, I don't know if it is suppose to be a comedy or action or drama. Its too confusing in how the story is laid out. I PVR'd it and watched a few shows, liked the girls, but just deleted it last night because it got old. Its like watching a re-run every show...geeks drool over hot girl...chuck sees something...they stop the world from ending...everything goes back to normal like nothing happened. Sorry for ruining every show for you!

Totally agree. My wife loves the show, and I get to enjoy the pulchritude.

The show itself is ludicrous, but if you're willing to accept its premise, it's actually a lot of fun. My favourite character is Morgan. I so get him.

I like it. Its one of my favourite new shows.

And I like the premise, at least not that they are explaining some of the back story.

My only problem is it is on opposite MNF.

I really enjoy Chuck. Complete and mindless entertainment. One of the few shows that I'm willing to sit down every week and watch.

I like the show a lot, I think it has a nice comedy edge to it.

And any show with Adam Baldwin as a remorseless killing machine is good with me.

I've been watching since the first show too. It's good... not great... but entertaining enough to keep watching. I don't think I'm hooked to the point that I need to know what's going on all the time, as I haven't gotten to the last three episodes on my PVR. It's a light addiction, for lack of a better description.

Hot girl? Do you guys mean Snaggle-tooth-a-saurus-Rex? Count me out. The plot is like an early episode of Saved By The Bell on repeat. I DO however, watch a show just for the girl and that show is Pushing Daisies. At least it has an interseting concept and the filming is well-executed. Flame away...

I enjoy this television program and encourage others to do likewise.

It's a good, entertaining show that I enjoy usually as I get home from work/eat dinner. I like the Monday NBC block of Chuck/Heroes/Journeyman but it's hard to sit for three hours in front of the TV at a time so I usually PVR and watch them as my schedule allows.

I figure it might be good to have some shows stockpiled when there are no new shows being broadcast due to the writers' strike.

I watched the first three or so episodes and then stopped. I couldn't take all the cheese.

If your in the mood for light, fluffy fun and you're not bothered by over-the-top plots and shallow characters, then it may be something you'd like.

You have to watch it with the right frame of mind. It's a goofy show, but I always love the type of characters that guys like Chuck are.

Adam Baldwin is awesome in it too. Like last night's episode when Chuck tells him he has a chin chiseled like a god or something.. hilarious.

Once you know to expect a certain level of cheese to it, it's pretty entertaining.
