Anyone see "Chuck" last night on Virgin 1?
New US comedy-drama, about a computer nerd who accidentally gets loads of secrets stuck in his head, & ends up working with the CIA & NSA.
Not brilliant, but not too bad for a first episode.

I saw it...I thought the same as you Matt... "Not brilliant" but it was mildly entertaining and didn't take too much brain power to understand. Its good to see some new shows on Virgin1 :).
It's a good show, I watched the first episode on the Virgin 1 website. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

I watched it and half way through I got the idea of 'Reaper'-like. Comedy and seriousness mixed together, got bored of Reaper and thinking I will find this boring, deleted Chuck from my Planner.
currently on episode 6 its quite goofy and has some fun attributes, its not spectacular but watchable, at points it does become slightly too outrageous such as they way they just suddenly leave the 'buy more' ( best buy?? :D) and later on when things start happening in the store.... eye candy helps, the girlfreind of chuck is pleasing on the eye, also nice to see sarah lancaster around again!
i would not peg it as a must see but if you have some spare time in your tv viewing schedule its a show to watch
Seen all of them - its entertaining, not to be taken too seriously.
:D The 2nd episode gives references to Lost. :D

No, I missed it... on purpose might I add.
The amount of advertising put me right off it. There is absolutley no reason to have this "Chuck" shown 2 or 3 times in every set of ad's.
To be honest, I thought the ad's would settle down once it started, but alas no cigar. I am now on the verge of playing russian roulette, on my own with a fully loaded semi-automatic weapon as sessions with my shirnk are failing. (yes the amount of times they are showing the ads is driving my insane)
After previewing the first few episodes of Season 2, NBC has ordered the full 22 episode season.

I love it.
While certain other US shows seem to have been getting worse, I think Chuck has been getting better.

The penultimate episode of season 2 (& possibly the series if NBC cancel it) was on in the US last night.
Brilliant.
This has easily been one of my favourite US imports this season (after BSG of course) - far more enjoyable IMO than Heroes & various other higher rated shows.
Damn shame if they do kill it off.

Been a fan of Chuck since it started, it would be a great shame if it isnt picked up for another season.
But!

According to tvbythenumbers.com there is a slim chance.
Edit
A couple of links that may be of some use to fans, first is a petition to ask NBC not to cancel
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/renewnbcchuck
The second is Zach Levi's site.
http://zachary-levi.com/
I'd ignore that list, I saw programs that have been cancelled for months say that they've been renewed. It would be great if it was renewed, it's one of the very few decent shows that are on these days. I hope it doesn't get cancelled, and well we know NBC is a big fan of the show.
Not seen the last two yet, but have kept watching this as its quite enjoyable.

Ah, sorry for the pace change. Should've thought.
Not a major spoiler though, at all - popper's post was simply mentioning...
The upcoming wedding of Chuck's sister & "Awesome".
Doesn't spoil the main plot, or anything about the main characters.

Although I watch a fair bit of US TV shows, I've never really understood how the TV companies seem to come to some of their decisions on canning/renewing shows beyond the possibility they flip a coin in some cases.
The system takes no account of things like PVRs and the like. When shows like Dollhouse and The Sarah Connor Chronicles are scheduled for a Friday night when the target demographic audience they're after is more likely to be out doing things at the start of their weekend, is it a surprise that these shows get lower live viewing figures and high PVR figures?
Can somebody explain it to the simpletons among us how these studios think? Surely in these times of serious advertising cutbacks, it makes more sense to retain a known and trusted show they can be more sure of the ratings on than can it in favour of some unknown that bombs?
Sorry - rant over!
Tezcatlipoca
26-04-2009, 22:32
For the networks, everything is about advertising revenue... people who watch stuff using PVRs don't watch adverts.
It does amaze me though that they still don't realise that Friday nights are a rather stupid time to put something on.
Dollhouse & T:SCC aren't the first shows Fox has giving the kiss of death to by putting on a Friday night:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_night_death_slot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_night_death_slot#FOX_and_Fridays
Back to Chuck... I don't think it gets stellar ratings, but it's certainly been doing better than some other shows AFAIK, plus it's had a lot of critical praise, & the Network actually likes it. Hopefully, when the bean counters at NBC decide on what lives & what dies, they'll give Chuck a thumbs-up.
Simply but, Chuck has the best gun fights ever.

If NBC don't renew it then I seriously hope another channel does pick it up.

Zachary Levi is such a nice bloke (an I dont say that often) unlike a lot of other "stars" he really seems genuine, yea its all about the next paycheck but he feels strongly about the show as do all its fans, and he went one step further.

[Old news: Chuck's been renewed for a third season. See Paul's US TV thread (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23/33650179-2009-10-us-tv-season.html)]
For those who don't watch via "alternate means"...

Season 3 starts tonight on NBC, with a double-bill: "Chuck Versus the Pink Slip" followed by "Chuck Versus the Three Words".
It then returns to its normal Monday night slot tomorrow, with episode 3 "Chuck Versus the Angel de la Muerte", & is staying there for the rest of the season.

Pretty good 2 episodes. Just saw that it premiered with 7.7m viewers.

Season 3 will be on Virgin one this summer. It was posted on the twitter account today.
Great first 2 eps and the 3rd is on in the USA tonight :)

Looking forward to #3 tonight

Totally unexpected that was :) & he played the part well "smoochie" LOL!
Great start to what I hope is not the last season of Chuck, good viewing figures may stave that off.
Stroll on tonight when I get to watch ep3 :)
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! !!!
Not Awsome??????????????????????????????????
I think that ending gave off the wrong conclusion. I was looking at episode descriptions earlier and it would seem that he's maybe just being kidnapped? Or he thought back?
Oh I know the result, just going with the US timeline :)

Episode 5 ("Chuck vs First Class") aired in Canada on Sunday, one day ahead of the US airing.
Racked my brain for ten minutes until I realised where I'd seen his new love interest ;) Then I Stupidly realised it was Lana :)
Just watched this program for the first time this week (the pilot one and vs the helicopter) seems to be decent enough......do the plots get better over the weeks?
Chuck is great, and the plots just get weirder, geekier, wackier and just plain adictive :D :)
Nice.
The adverts made it seem like it was just going to be some cheesey/clumsy spy tv show but it has a nice blend of action and comedy and I am really glad I watched it now.
Chuck vs The Tango tonight :D
Lets just say that season 3 is the best yet...

QFT.
It's one of my favourite shows.
Managed to watch the whole first series, really enjoyed it on the whole and can't wait to watch the second series :D
That finale double episode was awesome! Loved it. Certainly better than last seasons. That ending was awesome as well. :shocked:
Am I the only one who thinks that Chuck's mam is gunna be a big bad? She certainly didn't appear to be a victim there. Maybe it's going down the Alias root? Dad = good, mam = bad/proposedly dead

26-05-2010, 01:33
Awesome :D
RIP Chuck's Dad :(
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Chuck's Mum turned out to be bad (& perhaps also something to do with Fulcrum & The Ring).
I wonder how it will work now everybody knows?
Well it worked fine with Morgan and Awesome knowing, although Ellie will be contantly paranoid for his safety. It'll probably be the same as normal. Although now it looks like he'll be working off the grid instead of for the CIA unless something happens in the first episode.

Ive sat and watched all 3 seasons in about the last 10 days once again this forum points me to a tv show that ends up meaning im up till 3am every night to catch up lol Very good series must say it got me hooked,mind you the Chuck Sarah will they wont they got a bit tedious so I echo the General with the about time in ep 13/14 season 3 lol
I think the General's comment may of been a dig at the fans for wanting them to hurry up and get together. :D
I'm a huge fan of Chuck and season 3 is the best yet.
I must admit to having a smile on my face when the General did her Princess Leia speech to Morgan... Help us Morgan, you're our only hope :)
