Sarah, “the CIA’s top operative”


I was a custom system designer at Best Buy, working in their Geek Squad and Magnolia departments. Many of my (kinda creepy) colleagues told me I should watch Chuck, “because it’s based on Best Buy.” Today, 10 years later, I watched Ep 1 of Chuck, out of boredom. First I noticed it has too many Jews onboard. I respect Judaism, but the humor streaming strongly runs to the nebbishy and nudgey side. The titular character is an embarrassment to men. Jewish culture has great respect for scholarship, but this clusterfuck
has the CIA operating in the USA! No! Not legal! Super illegal. But, hey, bubbala. It’s only a TV show. If you were Jewish, we might listen to you.

This could have been good, had it not been so insular in its self-congratulation. Pass. Shame, because Best Buy deserves pillory.

Interesting how they set Jewish
Chuck up with a Shiksa.
