Chuck is both a NBC action comedy, and the name of the protagonist of the show, Chuck Bartowski, (Zachary Levi). He carries around embedded government secrets in his brain. Chuck didn’t ask to be a super-spy operative, but has gradually become a willing participant in the games of the CIA and NSA. He can thank his former college roomie, Bryce, who infected Chuck’s brain, when he sent him an e-mail that subliminally implanted the entire database from the government’s Intersect supercomputer.
Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez) is Chuck’s best friend and support system, who also harbors a long-standing nineteen-year crush on Chuck’s sister Ellie Woodcomb (Sarah Lancaster). He works, or pretends to work, at the Buy More electronics store with Chuck, and despite their close relationship was clueless about Chuck’s secret life, until recently.
Ellie is a neurologist, who is married to cardiologist Devon Woodcomb, and let’s just say, she does not, and never has, reciprocated any feelings at all for Morgan, although she is not above enlisting his aid to snoop on her brother.
Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin) is a former Marine sniper, CIA agent and partner of agent Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski).
He was under NSA assignment to protect Chuck, or kill him, as confusing as that may sound. He worked undercover as an employee at Buy More, until getting released to civilian life.
Sarah Walker is Chuck’s “pretend” girlfriend, that morphs into his “real” love interest. She is Chuck’s CIA protector and operative, for Operation Bartowski.
Life is not easy for a computer geek/NSA spy, and after two years, it looked like life might not be easy for the series either. Just when fans suspected that the series would be canned, they sprang into action
and began a campaign to get the show renewed for a third season. Led by ChuckTV.net and GiveMeMyRemote.com aka GiveMeMyChuck.com, the fans won out and kept the show alive for a few more months. Kudos to the Internet.
