Above All Else, Fun (Wait, Didn't Someone Use This Title Already?)

Chuck is a show that's meant to be fun. However, it's one of the few shows that, despite this, does manage to contain great characters, who grow and develop over the course of the five years this show ran. Chuck in particular starts out as a directionless, awkward nerd, but he's charming and he has a good heart. However, as the show goes on, he grows into a strong, capable leader, who is willing to do whatever it takes to save his loved ones, and still have time to make references to 80s sci-fi. But while the character growth is a great asset, the main appeal of Chuck is just how much fun it is. While seeing the way Chuck's life in the spy world clashes with the real world is a frequent source of humor, oftentimes, the source of much of the fun is the Buy More B-plots. Jeffster is a great duo, and Big Mike is also a great source of comedy, though thankfully little of it has to do with the aforementioned 'Bigness'. Honestly, there's not much more I can really say in this review, so much of it has to really be seen to be understood. From being threatened with water guns to learning how to tango, this is one show that's almost always a blast, and absolutely never dull.
