Quick pop-in and a TV show review!

Hey, guys!  I just realized I haven't posted anything on  here since the day before Easter...oops...sorry, guys!  I have a TON of posts planned, but I just haven't gotten around to writing them xD  Gotta love procrastination, right?  Ugh. 
Anywayyy, today I have a quick post reviewing a TV show called "Chuck". 
Has anyone heard of the TV series “Chuck”?  Well, if you haven't, it may be because it was only on for 5 seasons.  It ran on channel NBC between 2007-2012, and if you get into nerdy crime shows, this would be for you. 
The main character, Charles "Chuck" Irving Bartowski, who works at a Buy More in Burbank, California. 
After opening up an email sent to him by his old college ex-best-friend, Bryce Larkin, all of the government's secrets are installed into his brain.  Since the "Intersect", which held all the secrets before they got downloaded into his brain, kind of got blown up, this event promptly sends him into a gigantic mess, which involves the CIA and the NSA.  Trust me, it's confusing, but it makes slightly more sense if you watch the show.  This show is absolutely HILARIOUS!  Let me warn you: the first season is kind of slow, Chuck makes a bunch of *stupid* newbie mistakes (since, really, he's kind of just been thrown into spyhood), and there is a bit of talk about inappropriate content, mostly in the first season.  And of course - and unfortunately - there are some bad words as well, but nothing extremely...like, R rated. 
Anyway, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and after you see the series finale, you'll watch the show all over again :D 
Plussss....
Chuck Bartowski is played by Zachary Levi, whom we all know and love as the voice of Eugene Fitzherbert.  Ohh yeah!!!  His character speaks to me on a personal level...he's awkward, nerdy, hides in his room when his sister plans a huge birthday party for him, and promptly passes out at the sight of needles.  xD
Anyway, the rest of the main characters include...
Joshua Gomez as Morgan Grimes, Chuck’s best friend, who also works at the Buy More
Yvonne Strahovski as Sarah Walker/Jenny/tons of other aliases; works for the CIA.
Adam Baldwin as Colonel John Casey (NSA.  Dry humor.  Man of few words, grunts a lot.  Likes to use his tranquilizer gun…a lot.  Hilarity always ensues.)
Sarah Lancaster as Elinor (Ellie) Bartowski — Chuck’s awesome sister.
Ryan McPartlin as Devon Woodcomb — aka Captain Awesome.  (No, literally; he’s called Captain Awesome.  Chuck gives him that name xD)
Vik Sahay as Lester….who works at the Buy More.
Scott Krinsky as Jeffrey Barnes; also works at the Buy More.
Mark Christopher Lawrence as “Big Mike”, who is the store manager of the Burbank  Buy More.
Bonita Friedericy as General Diane Beckman , who basically is the head of the Project Intersect.

I can’t really say very much about the show, because it would spoil a lot of things, but let’s just say that it’s an amazing show, and you can watch all 91 episodes on Netflix if you so desire. I highly recommend it!  You can also look up season 1-5 bloopers on YouTube...also worth a watch.  They are hilarious!  I laughed so hard I cried when I watched season 1's bloopers.  Actually, I'll just include links to those -- everyone loves bloopers, right?
Season 1 bloopers
Season 2 bloopers
Season 3 bloopers
Season 4 bloopers
Season 5 bloopers

Has anyone seen Chuck?  Anyone plan on watching it?  If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them.   And if you want to talk anything Chuck-related...you know where to comment.  =D
