Anyone else a fan of this show?

For those who've never seen it, it's a fun comedy/spy thriller about an electronics store employee named Chuck who has a bunch of government secrets accidentally embedded in his brain and as a result gets dragged into all kinds of conspiracies with his attractive female partner. McG (the guy who directed the Charlie's Angels movies) is one of the executive producers, so it's kind of the TV equivalent of a popcorn movie, and it's more or less just a ton of fun to watch. There's a lot of sly gamer/nerd humor in it, too. The new season's starting tonight at 8, so I was wondering if anyone else here was planning on watching it.
 
Yeah, I've got a little bit into Chuck. I first didn't like it because it seemed like a nerd patronizing show. (College nerd becomes a super spy and uses his super nerdy brain to save the world and get the super hot chick) However I actually like it, it's not bad at all. I know it's premiering tonight so I'll probably watch it.
 
Chuck is an awesome show. I don't like Morgan's new hairstyle, but every time I see Casey I can only think of Jayne.

That was what I was afraid of at first, that Chuck would be nerd Gary Stu and the show would be fail. But I was pleasantly surprised how realistic all the characters were (Captain Awesome is HILARIOUS), and also that the writers actually know about video games. I love cute shows with underdog characters. The screwball comedy doesn't hurt either.

The whole thing actually reminds me a lot of the anime Full Metal Panic, but with reversed gender roles. If you've not seen FMP, it's worth a watch. It has a VERY similar plot.
