I thought Undercovers was pretty dull, but I’ll give it another chance. I agree with you, whereas the Chuck pilot drew me in within the first 10 minuts, 3/4 of the way through Undercovers I was wondering whether I wanted to keep watching. It isn’t horrible, there just isn’t anything unique about it. Undercovers looks like a procedural light spy drama (with occasional humor) whereas Chuck is at its heart and action-comedy about spies. I’ve been watching TV for many years, and Chuck is special.

Did anyone else notice the Russian power plant in Undercovers looked an awful lot like the Russian power plant in Chuck? I wonder if they used the same location.

Undercovers was a little on the boring side. It just seemed like the show tried to hard to impress.

I can see the aspects you mentioned,it did appear to me tried humor a long with action. At this point I say amusement more than humor. It’s just I relate JJ to bizarre more than show using humor.

The sister being used similar to Morgan, would be OK it just I could see it becoming unrealistic (Is it good spy practice to be caring a phone that links back to your hidden normal life)and how are they going to explain their constant disappearances when suppose to be running a catering business

General B is better as the humor/drama than DM. But I suppose seeing him run around without pants could be considered only as strange man There probably some back story there I’ll probably give it another watch

The Event was really good…has tons of potential as a Heroes/Lost hybrid show….Undercovers on the other hand was very bland… all the actors/actresses were solid and it was well put together… but it was just rather boring……I’ll pass and I think the viewers will too… For Wednesday though it may do well… I always thought Chuck should be on Wednesday or Thursday but they never moved it there…

No thank you! I will pass on this Chuck is what I enjoy watching. And besides J.J. should be busy with Fringe.

It is the one new NBC show I am looking forward to checking out. I am going to check out The Event and Chase as well, but I have a feeling that the Event is going to turn out to be a dud. I hope I’m wrong, but we shall see.

As for Chase, it is in a tough spot opposite Castle and the New Hawaii five o. I have to check out the premiere of five o, I actually remember watching the premiere of the orignal as a boy.

I don’t know if the other new shows will succeed but I definitely would not want Undercovers (which is quite similar to Chuck but has less competition on Wednesday) to have more viewers than Chuck. Still since Mel recommends it I will watch the premiere, just like I checked out Nikita.

It maybe a little more risgue then Chuck. I think I might stick to The Event after Chuck. And hoping that Chuck gets another, if last season to wrap things up.

maybe there could be an undercovers/chuck crossover it would be kinda cool to see the two spy couples team up
