Are you a nerd who is sick of they way your kind are portrayed on TV. Unattractive, socially awkward, the but of every joke? Why are there never any cool geeks on TV?
Chuck is a breath of fresh air in this regard. While he is definately a nerd (his interests such as Dune, Zork and The Matrix have not only been reference but have played vital roles in the series) he is stuck in a dead end job and his love life is almost non existant, he is never portrayed as a loser. Chuck is a victim of circumstance, who has been forced into a lowly position by the world around him. He's funny, charming, smart and - dare this Troper say it- quiet good looking. Even though throughout the series you will see him freak out on many different occasion it's usually under understandble circumstances. Also he rarely does something [[fridgelogic mind-blowingly moronic]] and when he does it's most often out of compassion. It's good to see a show where it's not totally unbelievable that the nerd can get with the hot CIA spy
