Chuck

For those of you who have never watched it, Chuck is a spy spoof about a nerd with Americas secrets in his brain. The comedy and action are frequently slapstick with no relationship with real life. The whole premise is ludicrous and the shelf life of the show is limited. How many times can we laugh at the ludicrous scenarios at the Buy More? How many times can we enjoy the gang going on I spy type missions?

I just watched the episode where Chuck and Sarah are conned out of their wedding money.
Every time I watch it, and this was no exception, the show starts and you can see the main story line is going to be over the top. Every time I think this is the episode where they finally run out of ideas, and by the end of the hour I find myself loving the show, the characters and their predicaments all over again.

Every single person involved in that show, to the writers who so skilfully navigate the fine line of slapstick humour to real drama, who actually get us to care about these larger than life characters, to the director, to the actors themselves, are masters of their craft.

I can only salute this show. It has a premise that is good for one season, two tops, yet the writers keep coming up with new ideas, new ways to maintain the core values of the show, yet move it along, as entertainingly as ever.

Has there ever been a show as skilfully put together as this one?


I know next season is the last but all good things come to an end. And this show is good. Really, really good.

I have no idea why anyone thought the idea behind Chuck was worth putting on TV.
But I and the relatively few people who watch it and get it, are sure glad they did.

ThatÂ’s all I wanted to say really.


Don't get into a flap. It's only my opinion and I'm thick

The last two owing to network incompetence, and the network incompetents know this. It's the very definitely last season.

now since they are moving to the 8pm death slot and the 13 episodes for the new season, it will definitely be the last season.
would love to see the ratings shoot through the roof and then laugh at NBC execs
