One of my favourite shows, Chuck, recently returned to NBC after an eight-month hiatus. The action comedy is centered around a nerdy electronics store employee who becomes an unlikely spy after downloading CIA files into his brain. It sounds ridiculous, but besides being incredible funny, the show features seven very different men who are the perfect inspiration for a Valentine’s Day gift guide.
Chuck Bartowski: Handsome nerd turned super spy.
Morgan Grimes: Nosy (yet lovable) gamer sidekick.

You've got Lots of fun stuff.
