What I'm Watching: Chuck

Chuck: Season 1, Episode 3 "Chuck Versus the Tango" (C)

"Why are these people sleeping?" Chuck asks when he says photos of murder victims. That is the big problem with this show. Nothing is serious enough. Sure it is a comedy, but the agency/spy drama could be much more compelling, and Chuck could try to take things a bit more seriously every once in a while. Morgan and Captain Awesome provide enough comic relief to keep it on the comedy side. This premise may be thinner than I initially thought unlesss Chuck starts learning some real spy tricks and the two agents assigned to him do a slightly better job of protecting him.
