Lady bugs can't all be ladies...

Chuck.

When some people say that name, they have no idea what it means to me now, or what it meant to me in the past.

Well friends, C is for Chuck. Chuck is one of those TV shows I just fell completely in love with. I hadn't loved a show like that since Friends, Boy Meets World, or Home Improvement. Everything about Chuck was great to me. I loved that they had a Buy More and a Nerd Herd instead of Best Buy and a Geek Squad. I fell in love with the goofy leading man, his best friend, sister, and her boyfriend. I fell in love with the spy and the NSA agent who were there to protect Chuck.

Have you ever seen this show? Seriously, it is a must watch. Chuck changed my life. I joined Twitter one day on a whim, and I've never looked back. I have found some of the most incredible friends just from watching the same television show. That's powerful to me...incredibly powerful. I went to SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) last year with people I had never even met in person before, I had only spoken with them online because of Chuck. I found some of my favorite bands from Chuck. (Seriously, they had some of the BEST music!)

Season 1 and 2 were the best, with 3 also being pretty decent. Season 4 and 5 are okay, they have their moments, but the magical stuff is in the first two seasons. The writing was great, the budget was there, the actors were at the top of their game. To this day, I can't watch the finale without crying. As many problems as I had with the last two seasons, it was still Chuck. It still made me happy.

It's strange to think how much one small thing (like a TV show) can change you and your life. Well, I can honestly say that things would have been so different. I never would have tried for a Big Bang Theory ticket to attend a taping (because I didn't believe it was even possible at the time). I never would have traveled by myself to Los Angeles and stayed with people I had just met the month before. I never would have opened myself up to new opportunities like that. Or maybe I would have. Who knows?

All I really know is that I'm glad I turned on NBC to watch Chuck. I'm glad I turned to Twitter and found other people who had the passion and love for Chuck like I did. I'm eternally grateful that I found (what I believe to be) lifelong friendships. How lucky is that?
