Chuck

By isntthatemusing But overall– such a cool episode, fantastic costumes, fun music– a great old fashioned party! I’d go to Gimlet anytime– what a deliciously twisted, weirdo name for a club. Well done, Chuck Bass, as always! XOXO After the wonderful angstiness of the “All About Eve” episode, this fun episod...

By Brad Trechak Despite only having one episode broadcast (the official TV Squad review is here) and four episodes in the can, V is already changing showrunners. They are trading one Scott for another. Rather than Scott Peters, the new guy calling the shots will be Scott Rosenbaum of Chuck and The Shield fa...

By Michelle Alexandria Another strong episode, especially since it’s Georgina and Scott free. I think Hilary Duff is a great addition to the cast she really fits well and her character is good so far. This episode included a lot of good Lilly and Rufus moments. I’m still waiting for them to do something with Blair and...

By pieman70 Lost – Aside from the fact that the past few seasons have been great, I’m committed; I want to know how this ends.  And I’m looking forward to this season as well, not just that we’ll get answers, but just in general, Lost has been really good of late.  If I drop everything else I need to see Lost.

By Michelle Alexandria This is probably the best episode of Gossip Girl that I’ve ever watched. The cast chemistry was strong, lots of great little character and relationship moments. It’s as if they crammed this entire season’s theme of growing up into this one fast paced tight episode. There’s almost no point in...

By Michelle Alexandria Summer is coming to a close Blair  (Leighton Meester) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) spent their summer being a couple.  Chuck is in a coffee shop where a blond picks him up; Blair comes in and tells the woman Chuck is taken and stay away from her man.  Turns spice up their relationship by playing game...

By Ryan Adam Baldwin’s character wasn’t Jayne Cobb. Not his fault, I know and I quite liked Casey. He has some truly fantastic moments (the season 2 opener where he’s poisoned and has to scrub down and inject himself with a syringe of adrenalin stashed behind a photo of Ronald Reagan all while Chuck a...

By Brian Howard Speaking of Morgan, this is an episode I’ll show anyone who doesn’t fully appreciate what Josh Gomez’s character brings to this show. He was pitifully sympathetic in this one. The guy’s always had Chuck to bail him out, and he was lost without his friend. It was fitting that Ellie filled that r...

By Michal Oh, Chuck Me! Recap & highlights from “Chuck verses the Ring” By Michal “Thank you for saving my life at least once a week.” – Chuck Well, I’ve come to this conclusion: I should have bought a few more sandwiches at Subway today. I’m going to be beyond frustrated and heartbroken if this show doesn’t get picked up for another season. There will not be enough chocolate or alcohol in the world to help console me… But onto festivities…if you haven’t watched the episode yet, the standard spoiler warning applies and you should stop reading now. Okay, actually now! I loved The O.C. finales and had high hopes that Josh Schwartz, Chris Fedak & company would create a beyond fantastic season finale. They took it a step further and created an hour of tele...   [read the full post]

By Brian Howard “i love chuck please bring it back Chuck and Sarah rock” —Curtis ——- “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE renew Chuck for another season!!!” —Digitalrick ——- ——- “I agree with Memphizmike….on NBC or another network, we will follow Chuck.” —Riggs ——-

By Brian Howard So I was reading about the Chuck season finale over at Time magazine’s TV blog, and a thought struck me. Time has blogs? About TV? No, not just that. The writer mentioned a catch-22 that may have confronted the show from the start in its bid to attract new viewers. The oddball brilliance of Chuck...

By Myles I want to start with something that Chris Fedak said in the aforementioned interview with Alan Sepinwall, in which Fedak claimed there was a Warner Bros. goon threatening to shoot him if he revealed too much. It was frustrating to read (I’d have pulled my hair out if I were Alan), primarily be...

By Brian Howard In doing so, creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak threw down the gauntlet to NBC and absolutely dared the Peacock to anger a huge swath of viewers — many in the 18-34 and 18-49 demographics — by not immediately picking up Chuck for a third season. Bring back Chuck.

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) I will be beyond frustrated if NBC doesn't renew the show a week from today, and I sure as hell want to see how (of if) Schwartz and Chris Fedak (who had a lot to say about the finale and the season in our interview) can maintain the series' brilliant comic tone now that Chuck appears to have supe...

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) As promised, I spoke with "Chuck" co-creator Chris Fedak about the developments in the "Chuck" season two finale, "Chuck vs. the Ring" (you can read my review of it here). After the jump, Fedak discusses -- and, in many cases, tries to avoid discussing -- the implications of the final scene,...

By Myles Similarly, the work given to Adam Baldwin’s Casey was just great here: he was hunting them down because his feelings had been hurt more than his duty driving him, and that’s the kind of diversity of character that the show has been exhibiting all season. Schwartz has been on a creative roll a...

By Brian Howard Of course, they tested that by having Chuck overpower Casey with a tranq gun. In reality, Casey would have snapped him in two before he got a dart off, but who cares? Chuck the spy was cool! Dorky, but cool! I could have used more Nerd Herd, though Jeff, Lester and Morgan were used to good effect.

By marcusandstevi Together, Chuck and his dad break into the room where Fulcrum’s unpopulated Intersect is being kept. Papa Bartowski tries to remove the Intersect from Chuck’s brain by essentially overwriting it, but Roark catches them in the process and shuts them down. (It doesn’t help that Intersect 2....

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) • If Beckman's speech at the end of the episode didn't have such important ramifications for the series as a whole, I would have been sorely tempted to lead the review with an incredulous Chuck asking Casey, "You had a gun?" and a smug Casey saying, "I always have a gun."

By Myles It’s becoming a cliche, in other words, and this episode was ultimately no different: just as Bryce interrupted their relationship by returning to the scene, and just as Jill’s return earlier in the season turned the tables on Sarah, here we saw an MI-6 agent weasel his way into their live...

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) It's clear by now that Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski have all kinds of chemistry together, that Morgan is right about what Sarah's love for him does for Chuck's confidence, and that Chuck and Sarah would each love to be with the other if circumstances were different. And I think that ep...

By Myles Season Two, Episode Five Entering into its second season, the expectations for Chuck were low. A smart show that never got beyond its initial 13-episode order in its first season thanks to the writers’ strike, its return was unheralded: by NBC, by critics, and by viewers.

By noreply@blogger.com (Third Estate Sunday Review) What networks have forgotten is the behavior of TV viewers. They have to know a show is there. If Chuck brought in only 3% of prime time viewers during the summer, it still would have sent the message: Monday nights, first hour prime time, NBC, Chuck.

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 8. "Comfort Food" The best episode so far. Delightful from start to finish. The case-of-the-week (while certainly a lot of fun) is wisely relegated to b-story status, and the main thrust of this week's tale concerns Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles and various members of her family (living and dead). The Chuck storyline (and her pairing with Emerson Cod) is wonderful beyond belief. Supernatural. Season 3, Episode 4. "Sin City" Sasha Barrese is yet another beautiful-beyond-belief guest star, the story is more low key than usual and it's fascinating to see the reversal that's happened between the brothers (Dean mellowed, Sam bloodthirsty), but... this is one of the weakest episodes in a while.   [read the full post]

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) Gary Cole is great virtually all of the time. That's a given. (The rare exceptions are roles like the one in "Pineapple Express" where he's not given anything to do, as if his mere presence will elevate material that isn't there in the first place.) He's so comfortable in his own skin, and in the...

By Jane St. Clair Which is how Jeff and Lester come to be there when Chuck and Sarah arrive for dinner, hand in hand and grateful to have the balance of their non-relationship-relationship restored. Ellie's overjoyed to see Sarah, but she tells Chuck that Morgan told HER about his not seeing Jill. He tells El...

By Kate Chuck Wins the BEST Rock Music Moment of the week! October 31st, 2008 By Kate Blake, Admin MV Multipleverses is pleased to announce that for this week- Chuck wins our nod for best use of really cool rock music in a television episode. Last week Jensen Ackles air guitar to Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger was the big winner but this week it is all Chuck. The episode Chuck Vs Tom Sawyer had all of the great elements that are why Chuck is winning over new viewers while Heroes stagnates and My Own Worst Enemy struggles to find an audience. Chuck has four great elements to the show that keep it going- and all are balanced without one part ever completely taking over. Number 1- Chuck has this secret spy identity thing and has to save the world with help from Sarah an...   [read the full post]

By asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall) Like I said last year, Yvonne Strahovski may not be the funniest person on this show (though she's still at least ahead of Sarah Lancaster), but that's no sin when Zachary Levi and Adam Baldwin and the rest are around. She's there to kick ass and look great doing it (which she does a bang up job o...

By Daniel(noreply@blogger.com) Chuck" has a winning core cast, but it also has an expanded universe of golden supporting players. The next extended opening credits (among TV's best) now include BuyMore denizens like Scott Kinsky, Julia Ling, Vik Sahay and Mark Christopher Lawrence.

By Mike It was a “holiday” themed episode this week which ended with a holiday party and various holiday themed jokes that fit very well with the overall mood of the show. They did a good job this week incorporating Morgan into the episode as a main character instead of his normal role as a secondary c...

By Mike I found that tonight’s episode was very balanced even if it did try to explain a lot of things that needed to be explained. The comedy element was not as involved as it has in other episodes but the presence of it is still known. Morgan and Anna’s relationship is a cause for a few jokes and Captain...

By Joel So just a reminder, tonight Chuck Versus the Imported Hard Salami airs on NBC. What a name for an episode right? However for those who haven’t seen the previews, this episode promises to be one of the strongest of the season. Why you might ask? Well we are going to find out Bryce is alive [...]

By Chris Serico Due to the WGA strike, I’m not sure how many episodes of “Chuck” are left in the vault right now (I’m guessing there’s just one more, since that’s how many of “The Office” remain), but the series is really hitting its stride. In my rundown of “Chuck vs. The Truth” after the break, I’ll go into mor...

By Alan Sepinwall Not sure yet what I'd like to see happen with the assistant manager position. It could be a new character, or it could be Harry Tang protege Lester, but I feel like we've been given several hints now that Morgan will wind up with it, and that might be best. It would give Joshua Gomez a different co...

By noreply@blogger.com (umberhaven) Hopes, Concerns, or Expectations for New Season Maybe the show will get better upon further episodes, but oddly, the critics's top favorite show of the new fall season actually comes near the bottom of the barrell for me. I'll give it a chance, but I'm not as impressed as the rest of the world.

For those of you not in the know, Chuck revolves around lovelorn twenty-something Chuck (Zachary Levi), the head of a Nerd Herd (think Geek Squad, only without the product placement) at a Buy More store; he's still after years hung up on a college girlfriend who left him for his far cooler r...

By Michael Rose I'm not sure what happened to the memo from top NBC brass, after the iTunes negotiations broke down, saying that Apple was firma non grata... but it clearly didn't make it to the Warner Bros. production offices of Chuck in time to excise all the Mac gear from the geek-themed spy comedy's pilot ep...

By MattShepherd The Good/Bad/Ugly thing is overplayed, so let's try some different ways of breaking this game down. If you're reading this you're at least 10% comic geek, so let's look at Marvel Heroes through a Classic X-Men* Lens: Angel: pretty. Pretty superfluous. Professor X: Is YOU.

By Alyse Wax As with all of Palahniuk's books, Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey is better-than-solid. It is well-written, unique, and absorbing. I would rank it up near Haunting, Invisible Monster, and Fight Club. Is it selfish of me that I am already eagerly awaiting a new novel from Chuck?
