Catherine Versus The Delightful Spy Show: 3 Reasons to Love NBC's Chuck

"What makes you special is that you're not like every other spy. You're a good guy and you want to help people."

-Sarah Walker to Chuck Bartowski ("Chuck Versus the Gravitron" season 2, ep 8, quote via imdb)

When we think of a spy, we think of someone like James Bond: suave, a bit dangerous, with a lot of gadgets.  Or maybe the empowered Sydney Bristow with her varying disguises from Alias. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge 007 fan, and Alias was a fun show, but I also love a dorky, earnest, ordinary hero. This is part of what drew me to a TV show that aired in the mid 2000s called Chuck.

I take my show-watching fairly seriously. In fact, I think investing in a show is like investing in a relationship: it requires time and commitment. And you hope it keeps things interesting. Otherwise, it's just a TV fling that leaves you with thoughts of  'what could have been...'
