from

From executive producer, Josh Schwartz (The O.C.) and executive producer-director McG (Charlie's Angels, We Are Marshall) comes a one-hour, action-comedy series about Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, Less Than Perfect) -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must now
confront assassins and international terrorists.

my take
Full disclosure: I have a major league crush on Sarah Lancaster, so I hope Chuck lasts a long, long time. It reminds me of Jake 2.0 which didn't even last a full season on UPN. The Josh Schwartz/McG team at the helm makes me want to believe. The clips I've seen look good, a nice mix of drama with comedy. It pairs very well with Heroes and I think it could be a breakout hit. I'll be checking it out and recording How I Met Your Mother.
