Weird thing is that tonights pilot episode is not listed as being broadcast in HD, yet the rerun on Saturday night and all future episodes is listed as HD... ? wtf?

Really looking forward to watching this....Finally no more pre-air preview/DVD/leaked pilot discussions.

pinata242 09-24-07 08:44 AM

Looking forward to checking this out.

Nice intro....sure it was done better in District B13, but whatever.

TGM 09-24-07 08:03 PM

this show absolutely rocked! Funny, redonkulously hot chick, good action, a cast member from Firefly, great story, good premise... I was actually looking forward to this show LEAST, but I must say, I loved it.

Sarah's teeth freaked me out and I haven't even watched in HD yet.

mh4268 09-24-07 08:55 PM

This is getting a season pass. Loved this show.

FantasticVSDoom 09-24-07 09:40 PM

Really enjoyed this... Chuck + Heroes + Weeds= a full Monday night.

Seriously, not that I would kick her out of bed or anything, but she is about 100x hotter when she isn't showing off her pearly whites.

I found this show okay, not anything special. I felt many of the jokes just fell flat, the action didn't work and the cast was just a bunch of pretty faces. I'll give it a few more weeks but its gonna have to try hard to keep me away from the first 20 minutes of MNF before Heroes comes on.

cracksky 09-24-07 10:56 PM

I had zero interest in this from the awful promos they ran but I gave it a shot because I love my new HDTV. :cool: It was actually a very good pilot but they seriously have got to drop-kick that sidekick out into the parking lot and run him over several hundred times. He gotta go.

invisiblegt 09-24-07 10:59 PM

So far, I think I'm going to stick with my reruns of Jake 2.0.

That having been said, Chuck will keep me around for at least another week or so, if only to see if this was merely a case of the "pilot blues."

Putting a North By Northwest poster in the guy's room is enough to make me give this show at least 2 more episodes... nice touch. :) Based on this episode, it doesn't feel like the show has much staying power, though, despite it being generally enjoyable.

Wasn't that bad, and nothing else is on Mondays @ 8pm, so I'll probably continue to watch it waiting for "Heroes" to begin...

Gizmo 09-25-07 12:13 AM

I'll be watching it. Not like Monday has anything else.

boogieman03 09-25-07 12:22 AM

Fun and enjoyable. I'll check it out again.

riley_dude 09-25-07 01:06 AM

I thought it was enjoyable. Not great but kinda fun.
Adam Baldwin is already getting on my nerves though.
Like the actor who plays Chuck and his friend.
I noticed the actresses teeth too but come on, they weren't that bad.

superdeluxe 09-25-07 02:40 AM

Pretty good. I don't watching nothing else at 8 so why not?

skatefan20 09-25-07 05:43 AM

Chuckled quite a bit. Amusing enough for me to keep watching.
PILOT: B+

Can anyone confirm that they'll actually be HD, though? I saved it on my DVR, but I didn't watch more than 20 seconds. Seeing a 16:9 shot inside a 4:3 box is an instant delete for me.

It was actually in HD for me even though it was not listed in the guide as being such, this is via DirecTV.

mdc3000 09-25-07 07:22 AM

It aired here in HD. I thought it kicked ass - some good action, lots of funny lines and the blond chick is SMOKING (and they had her hanging around in underwear more than once - this show knows it's demo!). Plus, any show with a lead wearing tape on his fingers from playing too much Call of Duty gets a :thumbsup: in my books.

LorenzoL 09-25-07 07:26 AM

I liked the pilot and I will be watching it again.

Snowmaker 09-25-07 08:06 AM

I liked it and will be back. Some good action sequences. Especially the one at the beginning.

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