Chuck is an American action-comedy/spy-drama television series created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" named Chuck, played by Zachary Levi, who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); the message embeds the only remaining copy of the United States' greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain. As the second season closed, flagging ratings put Chuck in danger of cancellation, but fans mounted a successful campaign to encourage NBC to renew the show. The campaign was unique in that fans specifically targeted a sponsor of the show, the Subway restaurant chain, and the chain struck a major sponsorship deal with NBC to help cover costs of the third season. The series' renewal was uncertain in each subsequent season. The fifth season was the last; it began on October 28, 2011, moving to Friday nights at 8pm/7 Central. The series concluded on January 27, 2012 with a two-hour finale

I've never seen Chuck but my boyfriend loved it.
ReplyDeleteI never seen shuck either. So far I'm sticking out with having TV similarities. It's all good though!
ReplyDeleteAt least they renewed it and it lasted a little longer.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the worst when you get so into a tv series and they decide to cancel it! Good on the fans creating a campaign to at least get a 'finish' to it, if you don't like it you'll just have to dream up a new one in your head and stick to that version instead.
ReplyDeletewe do love both Zachary and Chris Cornell (especially his ARMS AROUND YOUR LOVE song)
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law loves this show. I've only seen the first episode, and that was when it first aired.
ReplyDeleteIt was too silly at times, unbelievable at times, and too slap-stick to be taken seriously, but I loved this show. Maybe for all those reasons? And that's my little secret, Jeremy. (smile)
ReplyDeletei love chris cornell!
ReplyDeleteI loved Chuck and kept up until a DVR malfunction killed the last three or four episodes from the end of season four. Consequently I've never finished the show. But I will!
ReplyDeleteLOVED this show!!! It concluded much too early IMO.

I think I just watched a couple of episodes. I thought it was kind of entertaining but would not stick to every episode.
ReplyDeleteI watched every episode of that series. It's the best. Loved it when he used technology to solve problems.
ReplyDeleteI saw a few episodes and enjoyed it. I really liked Adam Baldwin's character.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out this show . . .on Netflix. I'm always a few years behind on everything, but sometimes, well, it's better that way.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Why had I never heard of Chuck?? Hmm... Oh, and I love her shoes in that opening image. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the show. It sucks when a show you really like gets cancelled, or they do something to change it, or a fave character is written off.

I loved it too!! I wish it could have lasted forever!
ReplyDeleteThe fans really kept this show alive Jeremy. It shall be missed. Yvonne is still hot.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of that show and it sounds like one I would have enjoyed. Sorry its ended. Opened a new blog for A to Z did you? just been looking at what you have been writing.

Chuck was fine. I was always more of an Alias kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteI never watched this show but I remember seeing commercials for it. I didn't realize it went on for five seasons. It's always rough when a series you enjoy ends.
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
I never watched Chuck, but I don't watch much TV anymore. I do love Black Hole Sun though.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I'm not familiar with or watched this series, I do recognize a couple of the actors. It's neat to know a show was renewed due to FAN support.

Thats one surefire way to get a gal to strip.
ReplyDeleteFantastic show, as it helped put Geeks into the mainstream.
ReplyDeleteMiss it!
I looove Chuck! And I love Zachary Levi! I didn't know that guy could sing.
ReplyDeleteHey Retro,
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that show. However, it does seem interesting. No doubt, we will end up getting that show over here in Britain. After all, only fair, what with us subjecting you fine folks to Downton Abbey, or whatever it's called...
Have fun with the alphabet challenge.
Gary, your cordial host over at the alternate alphabet challenge :)
LOVED Chuck, seriously. I want to marry him and have his babies...but I suppose Sarah was a great match for him. I'm still undecided about the ending, it doesn't feel finished for me. I want better closure. Still, one of the best series in a long time, clean and charming, and absolutely hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI did Chuck as my C too! It's soooo good--one of my favourites. I actually liked the ending. I thought it was refreshingly different.

That sounds like a good one, I think I would have liked it. Maybe I can catch some on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteOh...I loved Chuck. It was a family favorite and it's missed in my household. Some may have thought it was silly, but to me and my teenage kids, it was just plain fun.
