Chuck Is Going to be a Huge Pile of Shit

Any one see the ads when you log into myspace lately? They are for CHUCK, which is billed as a thriller/comedy series coming to NBC. I usually won’t blog about anything in TV or the movies unless it looks like it is going to suck really hard. Watch this 3 minute trailer.

If you didn’t watch it, then you wouldn’t have picked up the whole vibe of wanting to create Scrubs Pt 2 with Zach Braff personality meets brotherly camraderie of ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ meets Alias meets pop culture referential humor with stuff like Vicki Vail song or Geek Squad rip off.

Anyways, it looks terrible. TERRIBLE.
I hate shows like ‘Chuck.’ I hope people don’t watch it, then I will hate it when it is syndicated on your local WB affiliate and Comedy Central every day until the dude who plays Chuck makes an indie film that speaks to an entire Generation.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I hate Scrubs and Garden State, and any one who is HIP should, too.
Don’t you hate it when network executives greenlight something ‘a little bit different than what’s on TV right now’?
