I watched this in HD while my DVR was recording other stuff. I thought it was good, not great. I wonder how long they'll be able to milk this premise however. I will keep watching for a while at least.
As for Yvonne Strzechowski's teeth, I remember thinking "her teeth are weird" for like a second, but thinking it was my imagination. Did they look too small for her head?

I really liked the pilot. It was fun and fast paced. I heard that Adam Brody was originally offered the part of Chuck, but turned it down....too bad for him.
Zachary Levi was actually pretty good for someone I never heard of. The plot was pretty fast paced and I liked Baldwin and the blonde CIA agent.
Already season passed.

I season pass'd it. But they do need to get rid of the Morgan character - or at least limit his exposure.

Adam Baldwin should keep the Jayne goatee though. He looks too dorky without it.

I found it to be well done. Funny lead, not to smart in the add it all up category tho. Did like how he did understand he was calling the shots at the end.
Fine looking CIA agent.
"Jayne" in green uniform to keep an eye on Chuck - priceless.

How freakin' sad is it that the main topic of conversation is the lack of artificial teeth by the actress? I'm surprised there's no talk about the lack of implants, too.

Looks like Chuck didn't do too bad...
"Dancing with the Stars" kicked off its fifth cycle with a 13.4/21 at 8 p.m. CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," 5.3/8, and "The Big Bang Theory," 6.0/9, tied for second in households with the premiere of NBC's "Chuck," which had a slight edge in total viewers and the 18-49 demo.

Zachary Levi (Chuck) was just on The Tonight Show where their camera crew followed him through an apartment complex where he knocked on doors and urged people to watch his show Monday night (the segment was taped on Monday and even got footage of Zach and the apartment dwellers during the broadcast of the show). It was a silly and funny bit.

Caught the repeat just now. This was a lot better than I thought it would be. I would have past on it if the firefly guy wasn't on it all together. There wasn't anything I didn't like even the sidekick.

There were 2 new shows, 'Cane' and 'Chuck', that I dvr'd this season on a lark with the expectation that I would hate them.
Boy was I wrong.
I really liked the premieres of both shows and I will give them at least 2 more weeks to develop and earn a season pass.
