Fall Television: "Chuck" -- a Working Class Hero

In last night's "Chuck," viewers were treated to more of this lovable goof ball who works for the spin on Best Buy's "Geek Squad" known as the Buy More's Nerd Herd. If you missed the first week's episode, I highly suggest visiting the following site to find out how "Chuck Saves the Day with Porn." The following commentary will contain spoilers, so if you don't want to know everything that happened, stop reading now!

Chuck's slightly pushy sister, Ellie, demands that Chuck invite his new girlfriend over to dinner. He's not sure he's ready for this, but he agrees. What his sister doesn't know is that Sarah is really a CIA agent sent to protect Chuck from the evil-doer's who want the information he has downloaded into his head. He also has a co-worker/NSA agent (Casey) working undercover within the store who is meant to help protect Chuck. The problem is that both Casey and Sarah are telling Chuck that the other is out to get him.

Sarah takes an undercover job at the neighboring "Weinerlicious". There she tells Chuck that she is going to have him meet with a doctor who might be able to help get the images he downloaded out of his head. Sara refuses to let the doctor actually see Chuck. Instead, she has Chuck sit in a blackened room and discuss the images he saw via an intercom. That night, the doctor is killed in a car explosion and the bomb is in a generic cell phone that the NSA use frequently-Casey had ample opportunity to plant the bomb and get the parts at Buy More.

When Casey tracks Chuck down by making a faux Nerd Herd appointment, he provides evidence that Sarah may be a rogue agent. When Casey's car explodes with the same cell phone bomb, Chuck fears that Sarah, who is now at Ellie's house for their dinner, may be a cold-blooded killer. Chuck leaves Casey behind and races to his sister's house with Casey hot on his heels. The pair start their goofy antics trying to prevent everyone from eating the souffle that Sarah brought with her. When Sarah learns the truth behind Chuck's behavior, she walks off.
