tell me a story, game!

So with the new kids coming in and showing off their shiny new fandoms, I'm curious.

How'd you get into your canon?

Did you just pick it up one day and found yourself unable to put it down, or did someone (maybe from this game) drag you into it? How long have you been into it? Was there any one thing or character that hooked you on it? This is your chance to wax nostalgic and go on about what made your canon so cool for you. If there's a story behind it, tell us! And if there's not... tell us anyway!

I started to watch Chuck because I was looking for something to replace The OC. Both Chuck and Gossip Girl were candidates because they were also created by Josh Shwartz. Gossip Girl did not grab me right away and I stopped watching after the second episode (though went back and got caught up later). Chuck had a more OCish vibe than GG did, oddly. It was the pretty setting and the music type that was used on the show I guess.

Anyway, I got hooked completely. The main character as so geeky and charming, Sarah is so badass, and Casey is awesome. But it was Chuck and Ellie's relationship that really interested me. I am a fan of family stuff on tv shows, and this one was fascinating what with their abandonment issues and all. Josh Schwartz has even said their relationship is the soul of the show. The spy stuff is pretty cool, too.

Unlike other Josh shows, this one is actually still pretty good in season three. I have no problem saying this is my favoite show on tv at the moment.
