I suppose you could vaguely call it a spy/scifi equivalent of Buffy. If Chuck reminds me of any other character, I suppose it'd be Xander. Adam Baldwin's in it being awesome as usual, so there's your tie to the Whedonverse :)
Chuck's a dropout computer geek working as tech support in the fictional equivalent of PC world. He has a coterie of loser geek friends who work there too. He inadvertently gets a prototype government database of spy secrets downloaded into his head, which for one reason or another, is the only copy. Hence the CIA need to use him as a resource, which triggers Chuck's aspirations to be a spy. Which leads to an unusually large number of espionage missions involving his local area, into which his idiot mates frequently get inadvertently involved in.
