Chuck Bartowski, ace computer geek at the BuyMore, is not in his right mind. That's a good thing. Ever since he unwittingly downloaded stolen government secrets into his brain, action, excitement and a cool secret-agent girlfriend have entered his life. It's a bad thing, too. Because now Chuck is in danger 24/7.
Executive producers Josh Schwartz (The OC, Gossip Girl) and McG (Charlie's Angels, We Are Marshall) merge techno-gadgetry, martial-arts smackdowns, narrow escapes and gorgeous spies in short shorts into this action comedy about a millennium Everyguy. It's "Get Smart for a 24 world" (Troy Patterson, SLATE).
Surprise! Though the first season was announced for release on DVD more than two months ago, Warner Bros has just announced the show will be released on Blu-ray, just not on the same date as the DVD set.

The episodes will be widescreen (1.78:1), with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track, and subtitles in English and Spanish. Here are the special featuers, all of which can also be found on the DVD release:
