I couldn't find a thread for this, so here I am again, bringing you a new Movies,TV, and Theater thread for a show I just discovered!

My sisters have been watching Chuck for awhile now, but I just barely saw my first episode (one in the middle of season two, I think). But I found the concept really clever and fun. Plus the main actor is adorkable. I've got season one sitting on my desk now, ready to be watched.

I'm also aware that the third season premiered tonight, so I figured it'd be an appropriate time to start some Chuck discussion!

So, how about it? Anyone else here watching Chuck? Thoughts?

I LOVE this show! It's currently my favorite.

Season 1 is great, but I didn't fall in love with the show until the middle of season 2. I think it was the ending of Chuck vs. the Best Friend that did it. It was perfect, near the top of my Absolute Favorite Episodes list. The episodes that lead up to the finale are really good, but the finale itself was just...wow. Excitement, drama, comic relief, good guys vs. bad guys, and some great music. You're on the edge of your seat 'til its over, then you look at the clock and its only been twenty minutes, and you wonder what else they could cram into this crazy episode. But they tie up loose ends, unravel some new ones, and leave you with an ending that makes you jump up and say, "Ha! Wait, wha...? What?! NO FREAKING WAY!"

At least that was my reaction. :)

I'm a fan of Chuck too and the last few episodes that were on tele here with Scott Bakula were very good. I loved the reference to Quantum Leap (Oh boy), they snuck in.

However, Wavy Blue, I'm sorry to have to mention this, but there is another thread on Chuck here. Now, normally I'd merge them together, but I dunno, do you think I should let you keep your thread seperate? Voting via rep points :D

I'm really surprised how much searching I had to do to find a thread on Chuck.

No Chuck fans here? I love this show! I loved seeing Scott Bakula back in action, too. Always thought he was the man since Quantum Leap. With that and all the other nods to nerd-dom and sci-fi, I figured it'd be the perfect AW show.

Course now in the story he's gone and Linda Hamilton has been a regular character and everyone in the show is a spy... I love how the show developed... they didn't just write people out (they had planned on writing out Awesome and Ellie at one point when they went to Africa) and they got even the non-spies involved in the spy game...

This is a really fun show to watch and I enjoy it every week. And I just saw episode 23 where Vivian Volkoff interupts Chuck's wedding and I was stunned by the ending.

And no one here to share in my surprise :(

Hangs head.....I had to google Chuck to see what you were talking about. Sorry, I have never watched it. I may go online and watch a few of the back ones.

I love Chuck. I've been watching since day one and can't get enough of it. I'm happy that they have renewed for a fifth and final season so that we get an ending. It's been the little show that could for so long. I haven't watched the season finale of season 4 yet, but it's on today's list.

I'm a fan. Haven't watched every single ep because I had time conflicts at times, but I saw all of this season and I'm happy there's another. That ending: Morgan! Whoa.

I'm glad they found a way to switch things up a bit now that Chuck and Sarah are married, so you don't have the will they/won't they thing anymore. I'll miss Chuck being the Intersect, though. Once he got to like it, he had a lot of fun with it.

Just watched the finale... nothing about that wasn't awesome, lol. Freelance... Morgan... even that dude who plays Decker, I see him in a lot of great shows (Breakout Kings and Firefly for two)... If it's only one more season for this show, it's going to be awesome...

In my head.
First two seasons were amazing and the freshest thing NBC had had in a long time. Then the execs saw how popular it was getting and dumbed it down BY SEVERAL DEGREES. Although I have to say I'm glad they got rid of the ridiculous black ninja suits. Back on track, though, it's just kind of went cold for me. Gotten too campy. *sadface*
