Too bad this season was chopped by the writers' strike, it was one of my only "must watch" shows last season.

Same here. I was about to give up on it until the "Chuck vs. the Sandworm" episode made me a gigantic fan. It's a "must-buy" for me.

I'll be getting this. This and Reaper are the only new shows I find worth watching.

Adam Baldwin was in Full Metal Jacket? I didn't know that. If I was writing that piece, I would have listed him as staring in Firefly/Serenity, Independence Day, or even the X-Files.

I would have said My Bodyguard. I bet if you watched that back to back with Chuck, it would be apparent how much he has aged. Absent of a direct comparison, it seems like he's barely aged at all.
