Chuck
I’ve substantively cut down on the television I watch by eliminating my cable television service entirely and only watching those show available via broadband on the major network’s web sites.Tonight, I surfed around looking for something to watch, and found that NBC is previewing their upcoming Fall season shows. One caught my eye, if only because it uses one of my nicknames as its title.
Chuck Bartowski is a computer nerd working for the “Nerd Herd” at Buy-More. (Oh c’mon guys! If you’d been smart, you’d have locked-in Best Buy for a sponsorship deal!) One day, one of his friends who works for the CIA sends him all the agency’s spy secrets in an encoded e-mail, and now they’re all in Chuck’s head. Ostensively, he ends up being recruited by the CIA and ends up leading a double-life: nerd by day, secret agent by night.
It actually looks funny, but that might just be because I’m a geek myself and I can appreciate the good-natured jabbing. Either way, I’ll Bittorrent it or whatever when it comes out, and it might just end up being a regular thing.
