Chuck: Season 1, Episode 5 "Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp" (B+)
This is what I am talking about. This show returns to form in an episode with an awesomely fitting title. Everyone works hard to make this episode live up to the standard set by the pilot. While the spy theatrics are still a bit, well, theatrical, all that is made up for by the entertaining nature of the rest of the show. Morgan is front and center for a while, but his newly formed friendship with Ellie is endearing. Chuck's geeky resourcefulness comes in quite handy without stretching too much, and the episode works very cohesively. Bonus points for the ending: this show does not forget where its strength lies, which is in the family/friendship dynamic around Chuck.
