Chuck versus the 3rd Season Makeover!

The long and short of it is that NBC's Chuck basically stinks now. It's not funny, which was the show's saving grace. The music is still great. The action is still respectable for tv. The female lead is still super hot. It's too bad that one fatal flaw, the lack of comedy could submarine this complex show. But it does.
Maybe I'm selling the show short, since I'm writing off two quality seasons after 1.5 episodes of season three... That's my prerogative, though, as dictator of this blog, to make rash decisions on a whim.
Oh yeah, Chuck also seems to be playing up the most annoying aspect of the show, which is the relationship between Chuck and his female CIA handler (whose name I have momentarily forgotten). They split this unlikely pair up b making Chuck behave in a very unlikely and rather unbelievable manner. It's annoying.
Hopefully once the show takes care of establishing the new direction it's heading it will find its footing again and reestablish its roots. All the elements of a good show are present, it's just the current recipe is unsatisfying since it doesn't utilize all the ingredients and overuses other ones.
I'll keep watching. Will u?
