They've Given You A Number And Taken Away Your Name
Okay, who on my flist watches Chuck? Show of hands, please.
If you don't, let me pimp for a moment. Chuck is show about a guy named Chuck (surprise, surprise), who was kicked out of college, had his girlfriend stolen by his best friend, and has been working at a dead-end computer repair job at Buy More for the last five years. Then his former best friend sends him an email that uploads the entire NSA and CIA databases into his head.
Why you should watch this show:
-it's Get Smart meets Alias
-it only gets better in the second season.
- it has platonic, familial, and romantic relationships, and all of them are treated as important.
-the writing is consistently top-notch.
- it's funny. And honestly funny, not fake sitcom funny.
-it's dramatic. When they want to rip your heart out, they do.
-Adam Baldwin.
-fantastic action sequences. In which the main heroine kicks so much ass.
-great outfits.
Now, if anyone on my flist has actually watched this show, I would love to squee about it in all it's spoilery glory and find out what other people thing about the game-changer finale.

Also, t's funny. And honestly funny, not fake sitcom funny. is so true, but it is sad there is a distinction is needed due to so much being canned-laughter funny as opposed to actual laughter.

But at least we know to tell people that. Because I here comedy and I think 'lame jokes and characters with no soul', but shows like Chuck and HIMYM ARE comedies - they're just good ones.
