Chuck

TV networks here really wouldn't know a good show if it hit them in the face.
And it seems they've missed the boat with my wonderful new obsession Chuck which is due to start on Pay TV in January.
A comedy-action series, this show was recommended to me by a neighbour and after about 10 minutes I was hooked.

It's apparently been voted in the top 10 shows of the year in the USA and it is easy to see why.

With pay picking it up here that mean some genius at the networks passed on it, probably the same bunch that passed on Dexter, Gossip Girl and Friday Night Lights, just to name a few.
For the uninitiated, Chuck centres on the unlikely life of an average computer geek Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, centre) who is implanted with government secrets by an old college friend-turned spy. Yeah it sounds odd but it works really well and the support cast is great.

Yet another series I'll be watching on the net and trying desperately to get my hands on the first season DVDs.
