Chuck

It's saying something that I look forward to Chuck every week, when I no longer look forward to Heroes. Which makes me sad (but I'm behind on the show, so there's hope).

If you're missing Chuck's more polished throwback to light-hearted adventure fare, do yourself a favor and pick up season one, and give yourself some time to be entertained.

There is some very good acting going on in this flick, and I'm particularly impressed with the eponymous Chuck's Zachary Levi, the constantly under-rated Adam Baldwin, and Yvonne Strahovski (who I've only seen have one moment of not-great acting throughout the series).

Speaking of good performances, get caught up to season two and see episodes six through eight, which have Jordana Brewster guesting. Watch her closely, because she gives a nuanced, attentive performance I'm used to seeing in film, not television.
