On Screen Reviews TV Hall of Fame Inductee: June 2012

Alright, it's the end of the month, that means its time to induct one of this month's nominees into the TV hall of fame. What will join the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in the hall?

And the winner is:
Chuck


The genre-bending story of an electronics store employee who becomes a spy is inducted this month. Chuck Bartowski is a nerdy loser. He lives with his sister and works a dead-end job. And then one day he gets an email from his old college room-mate, and he soon realizes that every major secret the government has has been downloaded onto his brain, a program called the Intersect. And from there, crazy hot CIA agent Sarah Walker and NSA hitman John Casey are assigned to protect him. And they go on all sorts of crazy missions, battle terrorists and bad guys, and Chuck gradually becomes awesome. It was hysterically funny, action-packed, smart, and just plain cool. The Intersect's back-story, coupled with the hilarious antics of the team and the heavy artillery, made it, at one point, my favorite show on TV. Did it go on too long? Oh, absolutely, but really it was just because we didn't want it to end.

And so, Chuck becomes the second inductee to the On Screen Reviews TV Hall of Fame.
