Apple Mac HQ

My favorite gadget wielding super spy is back! Chuck returns to NBC tomorrow, Monday September 29th at 8PM EST. If you can’t wait, you can actually watch the first episode online now. I tried to watch the episode online, but the video was very choppy. The quality was good, but playback was unacceptable. Perhaps your luck may be better.

So why am I talking about Chuck on a Mac blog? Chuck and Sarah (the hot blond spy/love interest) were both sporting iPhones last season. In addition to iPhones, Chuck was sporting other Apple goodies in his room. Anyone else watching Chuck tomorrow?

Apple is everywhere you look these days. You see their products at the movies, at school, at work, at home, at the coffee shop, and of course on TV. One show that you see Apple products on often is Chuck, on NBC. You know, the same NBC that had a little airing of dirty laundry with Apple a few months ago about the price of TV shows on iTunes.

If you’ve never seen Chuck, it’s a pretty good show. Chuck is set in a fictional big box retailer called Buy More, think Best Buy. Chuck works at the technology help center called Nerd Herd, basically a parody of Geek Squad. One of Chuck’s former best friends sent him an email with government secrets just before he was killed. Those government secrets are now a part of Chuck’s memory and the US intelligent agencies are using Chuck to help them solve cases and catch the bad guys.

Two government agents, Sarah (CIA) and John (NSA), are sent to make sure the government has access to Chuck’s memory and to protect him. Sarah, played by the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski, is posing a Chuck’s girlfriend and works at a nearby fast food restaurant to keep a close eye on him. John, played by Adam Baldwin, works in the Buy More as a sales clerk where he has a keen ability to show up alongside Chuck in the flash of a moment.

So what Apple products are in the show? Sarah is sporting an iPhone along with her Macbook Pro. Chuck has an Apple Cinema Display in his bedroom along with what looked like a 5G iPod. Tonight as he was preparing for Sarah’s first sleep over, it even looked like he docked his iPod into an iPod Hi-Fi. I’m sure there have been more Apple products but those have definitely caught my eye.

The show lasts one hour and comes on NBC at 8:00PM EST on Mondays. I enjoy watching Chuck and if you are into comedy, gadgets, and espionage then you’ll probably enjoy Chuck too. Give it a shot, or if you already watch it, and let me know what you think in the comments below.
