is an action-comedy television program, Produced by College Hill
Pictures, Wonderland Sound and Vision and Warner Bros. Television, the
series premiered on September 24, 2007. It stars an "average

from an old college friend now working in the CIA; the message embeds
the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets into
Chuck's brain.
The plot of the series is based on Chuck "flashes" of information
from the database activated by certain triggers around him (such as
faces, voices, in-context keywords, and various objects), he must use
the knowledge he now possesses to help the government thwart assassins
and international terrorists upending his previously uneventful life.

occupation a secret from his family and friends, forcing Casey and

poses as Chuck's girlfriend and takes a cover job at a local restaurant
near the Buy More while Casey reluctantly goes undercover as part of
the Buy More team.
