Anyone seen the first episode of "chuck"?

well?

I haven't, but from what I have heard it fails A LO. Because the jokes are "wannabee geek" jokes, but clearly the writers and the director have no idea what a geek is, so they suck.

If it's true, I will not spend 10 sec on it, I hate shows / movies who tries to be "hip" and make geek / computer jokes, which fails miserably.

I watched it and enjoyed it. It's a lot better than Big Bang Theory.

The computer inside his head thing is a cool gimmick but it will wear out quickly unless the writing is exceptionally good and the plots engaging. NBC is always quick to cancel shows and this one probably won't make it past 10 episodes.

The problem with shows like this is if you stop and think "what will this be like in 2-3 seasons" you'll realize it would be incredibly boring and could never go that long. The networks know this too and they'll move on looking for a show they can drag on for several years (like LOST or Heroes).

In fact, I don't even know why shows like this get made. I would prefer them in a mini-series format so all the best ideas are put into it immediately instead of giving us a half asses show for years.

I started watching it, but got bored after 5 mins or so and stopped.
might try again if there's something if there's something horrible I need to get out of doing..
(I did chuckle when I saw the mac classic in there, brought back painfull memory's of blinding headache inducing sessions typing up school work

)

well i watched chuck, it was ok. might have potential. too early to tell, but longetivity as omega says might be a problem. cast is watchable. quite entertaining if extremely stupid, especially some of the "geek" talk. which was, as usual inaccurate.
