History Series / Spy2011

A Spy Comedy/Parody series that's part ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', part ''Series/GetSmart''. Stars Darren Boyd as Tim and Robert Lindsay (of ''Series/MyFamily'') as "[[TheSpymaster The Examiner]]".

* Adorkable: Tim

* AxeCrazy: Elaine, who initially seems like a smoking hottie, but eventually gets to the point where she demands that Tim marry her... or [[NightmareFuel else.]]

* ButtMonkey: Tim's life is, for all purposes, ''crap''. His son hates him, his ex wife hates him, almost everyone he comes across torture him, he's stalked by a mentally deranged counseler who wants to blackmail him into loving her, and the only people who like him is his borderline insane boss, his crazy best friend, his slightly strange love interest, and his ex wife's new husband.

* CursedWithAwesome: When Marcus ends up going with Tim to the office, Tim has to hide what he does or he'll get fired. It's a curse because Marcus thinks very little of him to begin with so Tim's attempts come off as just him being embarrassed about what he does. [[spoiler: Ends up being a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when Tim uses his skills to subdue an MI6 agent and help Marcus get to his cello lesson... but again, he has to have Marcus close his eyes in order not to reveal what he does.]]

* MurderingTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: Portis threatens to murder the hypotenuse's (i.e. Tim's) son. Unfortunately, that son is Marcus, the EvilGenius. It doesn't exactly to go to plan...]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Tim and Caitlin [[spoiler: Up until the end of season 2.]]
