NBC Fall TV: Chuck Tangos His Way into Trouble

For those following the show, the third episode of Chuck aired last night. Week one brought in over 9 million viewers, while week two came in at a little over 8 million views. Will this be enough to keep NBC from giving Chuck the boot? I, for one, hope so. Chuck's a nerdy, yet adorable, leading male who deserves a profitable future on television! Spoilers are to follow.

*****************

Last night (10/8) Nerd Herd's leader Chuck found himself competing heavily for the Buy More job of assistant manager. With only a day to handle things, Chuck's boss ordered him to prove his worth and fix all the computers in the storage room. There's a major problem though. Chuck spies a newspaper article about a murder in the art world and he instantly recognizes the painting. Now that more data's been recovered from his brain, CIA agent Sarah and NSA agent Casey must give Chuck his first undercover job. The painting in question is being shown that night and a notorious weapons dealer is going to be there. Only Chuck can identify this evil doer.

Casey, being the fun guy he is, tells Chuck he needs to learn to do the tango, however. The only person Chuck can get to give him quick lessons are his sister's Dudley-Do-Right like boyfriend. Chuck goes through with it and later learns it was not really necessary, Casey just wanted to rib him a little.

Back at Buy More, Chuck's team realize that they must fix the computers or face up to the other assistant manager contender whose first role of business will be to ensure they are working without any breaks and fun time. They get set to work only Chuck's best friend winds up locking himself in the room with all of the computers and only the assistant manager wanna-be's possess the keys. With an intense fear of computers, his friend is stuck for the night in the least favorable of situations.
