(S02E04) “Chuck vs. the Cougars”

The star’s continue to shine.

On tonight’s Chuck both Nicole Richie and Boy Meet’s World’s Ben Savage guest star with equally excellent performances.

Ever the high school nerd Savage’s character comes into town with ex-cheerleader wife in toe played by Richie recognizing Sarah as their high school classmate Jenny. When Chuck flashes on the husband he takes delight in the fact that through their upcoming mission to learn who is blackmailing the nerd for his weapon plans, he’ll not only look like the best gosh darn secret agent out there, but also learn more about Sarah’s past.

Turns out Savage was never the threat. Instead Richie’s character turns into one kick-butt solo agent looking to wreak havok for her own personal good, inspiring one heck of an awesome girl fight with Sarah at their high school reunion.

If we’ve learned anything during our own time at the School of Chuck, it’s that our agents know their stuff. In other words, Sarah kicked butt and was then promptly named Reunion Queen (or something of that sort).

I loved this episode. After having caught a few episodes of The Simple Life, I have to admit that I didn’t exactly have high hopes. Of course I’ve always loved Savage, but even he has dropped off the radar enough not to thrill these days. What I got though proved otherwise.

This actor and heiress turned actress were fabulous. Besides which, who doesn’t love a show jam-packed with corny 90′s hits and spy missions? Mmm-bop
