I claim that Chuck is the best new addition to the 07/08 line up. I’ve praised it before and when reading this thread I was trying to come up with a good reason I absolutely love the show.  
I think the word is _endearing_.

I could be too cute and self-referential, but it’s not.  
The mysteries are corny, but not enough for me to whince.  
The love story is awkward, but never stupid.  
It’s silly, but never embarrasing (sp?).

There are so many ways it could go wrong (I’m looking at you, _Reaper_), and yet, it always comes clean, somehow. It’s someone walking a tightrope, always on the verge of falling, yet it never happens.

I gotta know…who was Pita-Girl? And I weep for the poor ladies who allowed their boobies to be filmed…

Mammary-cam! Big Mike’s gotta policy about that.

Seriously, the mamms getting cammed were kinda out there though, and I don’t think of any of the ladies as “poor.” 😉

[QUOTE=What Exit?]  
Actually that is exactly how a woman tells a man that you will buy what I want or you will suffer the consequences. It is a form of test. (At least in the world of fictional TV & movies, not so much in the real world.)

Errmm, wrong. Very true in the real world (in my experience).

“Do you want to stop to eat?” = “I want to stop to eat” in female brain-speak.

Shhh, don’t anger them and don’t let them know we understand their code. They like to think we are in the dark and it is safer for us that way.
