Chuck = VIP

There was a show from '98 - '02 that was syndicated, starring Pamela Anderson called V.I.P about a group of attractive women that run a always-teetering-on-the brink-of-failure bodyguard firm. I know way more about this than I would like for two reasons: 1) I edited on "tags" for each episode promo ad while I worked at a local station in Memphis that aired the show, & 2) I tend to remember shows and actors; even the not-so-good ones & the shows I've never actually watched entire episodes of. So that leads me to the comparison of this show to the current NBC hour-long action dramedy "CHUCK". Both of these shows have leads that happen into the dangerous world of spies, and both have an attractive cast of women to help get the viewer through any rough plot spots. Both also play the espionage game for laughs.

The big difference I've noticed is that the leads are opposites sexes, there are few "hot girls" on Chuck, but the ones they do have are "Hotter", and the writers at "Chuck" seem to have some experience with moving a scene along. Oh, and Pamela Anderson. She's not in "Chuck". So, for my buck, I will take "Chuck" because in my book the hottest chicks win, and Pam Anderson just ain't where it's at.
