    Cute, creative and slick, this is one of the best new shows of the fall season.

    Chases, stunts and explosions fill the funny, flashy adventure.

    A good-natured show with a convincing sense of fun and a likeable cast, Chuck also has the wit, confidence, and grasp of the cultural climate to turn a running joke about a celebrity porn site into a major plot device.

    A charming but underwhelming pilot.... The second episode is dismal, sucking all the air out of whatever hopes you might have had for that one.

    Most interesting show to watch. Chuck is a great show to just relax and watch after a tough day. The show has action, mystery, romance, and full of technology.… Expand

    The best thing NBS put on the air in quite some time. From top to bottom, this show delivers unlike any other show on. It throws itself into a whole nother definition of the Action-Spy-Comedy.… Expand

    Better than expected. Definitely worth watching at least a few more episodes. Besides, you can't go wrong with Adam Baldwin. Long live the hero of Canton!!!!… Expand

    How anybody can like this, critics to viewers alike, is shocking. I honestly gave this a shot, people said it was good, so I wanted to give it a shot. People are saying its only like a bit cliched, but really the entire thing is cliched. The jokes aren't that funny, the action is not that great, the acting is not good at all, and the writing is horrifyingly bad. The one thing I liked that it was kind of a parody on how ridiculous spy movies are, but even that got old after a few minutes. Nothing was redeemable from this show. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.… Expand
