All about the Series Chuck on DVD

October 24, 2008 nnyq.com edit The TV series Chuck on DVD is about an average computer whiz next door that receives an email from one of his old college friends who now works at the CIA. The message that Chuck, the main character, gets is the only remaining document that has the worlds most top secret spy information. It premiered on the NBC network on September 24, 2007 and was created by Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz. On February 13, 2008, the network announced that it would pick up Chuck for at least one more full season.

Season one of Chuck on DVD follows Chuck Bartowski, a guy in his mid twenties who is socially awkward and works on the Nerd Herd team at his local Buy More store (a play on Best Buys Geek Squaad). Chuck has a sister, named Ellie, who desperately wants to help him find a girlfriend. She is the quintessential big sister, always looking out for the best interests of her younger sibling.

The first season of Chuck on DVD starts out at Chucks birthday party, when he gets the aforementioned email from his old friend at Stanford University, Bryce Larkin. Of course, the first season of Chuck on DVD does not start out with Chuck opening up a regular email. Instead, a super secret email is opened, with all of the countrys biggest spy secrets embedded in visual form, which subliminally implants them all into the head of the unlikely protagonist.

Chuck on DVD stars many newcomers to the world of television, including Zachary Levi as Chuck, Yvonne Strahovsky as Agent Sarah Lisa Walker, Ryan McPartlin as Devon, Matthew Bomer as Bryce Larkin and Mark Christopher Lawrence as Big Mike. Chuck on DVD also has a ton of cultural references that fans of the show seem to enjoy immensely.

Of course, to catch all of the cultural references that are featured on Chuck on DVD, you would have to be pretty involved with the world of pop culture. For example, the CIA supercomputer that Bryce steals the secrets from is actually the original Mac Plus, and the OQO Palmtop Computer is visually identical to the communication devices that are used in Doom 3. In fact, Chuck on DVD features a lot of references to Doom, as well as other video games like Call of Duty, you just have to keep your eyes open for them and now what it is that you are looking for.
