They lost a lot of viewers from episode 1 to episode 11.. still, great show and LMFAO @ the promo

[Rappy Veteran]

I'm still recovering from the past few days of junkets and press days for some of my favorite series, but one of the highlights has got to be hanging out with Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, and Adam Baldwin from Chuck.

Yes, I spent yesterday with the troika from NBC's spy-themed action comedy while they shot some promos and photos to publicize the first season of Chuck, currently sold into more territories around the world than I can count.

While I still have to sift through my notes and transcribe the several hours worth of digital tape, I'll just tell you now that this threesome is just as hilarious and dynamic as they seem on the television screen.

While last week's episode of Chuck was the last one we'll be seeing for now, there are two more completed episodes in the can (the cast wrapped this past week), but it's anybody's guess as to when we'll be seeing these comedic gems. (My thoughts: it's February sweeps.) What we do know is that the next episode--whenever it does air--will reveal a hell of a lot about Casey's backstory and possibly reveal why he's so against on-the-job romances. Lest you think that the sadly destroyed Crown Vic was Casey's one true love, rest assured there is "a fleshy one," says Adam Baldwin. Hmmm.

It's only fitting that Zachary Levi is as much of a Lost groupie as I am. "The best TV show ever made" is how Zach described the mind-trippy ABC series, before launching into an animated debate on who was in the coffin in the Season Three finale and, naturally, that shocking twist ending. And, no, he's not acting when he waxes philosophical about gaming or other geeky pursuits ("Infinity Gauntlet," anyone?). Oh and Yvonne Strahovski likes to krump between takes or do something called the "3 a.m. pterodactyl dance."

As for what else is on tap--including practical jokes on the set, what other series these lovely actors like to watch (Adam Baldwin watches Project Runway and can do a mean Tim Gunn impersonation?!?), and lots more--check back here in a few days' time.

Stay tuned.

:D

Virgin 1 has picked up the first-run UK rights to comedy drama series Chuck from WBITV.

The show, airing on NBC in the US, stars Zachary Levi as an ordinary guy who becomes a spy after unwittingly downloading the CIA's most confidential secrets to his brain.

It has already been picked up for a full season by NBC after averaging 8 million viewers in the Monday, 8pm slot opposite Prison Break.

"Both action-packed and hilarious, Chuck is the perfect show for Virgin 1's audience," said Amy Barham, head of acquisitions for Virgin 1. "We are thrilled to have secured the show as part of our 2008 line up."

Chuck is executive produced by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz.

^ Cool!

[+Mystic MVC]

When is the new season supposedly going to start?

[Rappy Veteran]

When is the new season supposedly going to start?

Well theres actually 2 episodes left of Season 1 that is still filmed so they will show those first.

When are they supposed to air? Was the last one aired so far, the Christmas one?

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah they aired that one last and the other 2 will air when NBC really can, to be honest if the strike don't finish then they will air like 1 one week and another a few weeks later to span them out.

[+Mystic MVC]

Dang, the writers' strike will never end!

Chuck vs the Marlin :

We meet two new people that want to take Chuck. One is a beautiful, young female enemy agent that works in the Pita Palace next to the Buy More. She is trying to kidnap Chuck. The other is a handsome CIA Agent who is posing as a police detective undercover investigating a theft at the Buy More who wants to take Chuck into his custody. When Chuck's cover is blown by the enemy agent, the CIA Agent arrives to take him into custody and make him disappear from his life.

[Pretend]

^ Cool, but "One is a beautiful, young female" a little familiar ? :p

[GuJu]

anyone know if theres a 2nd season?

[Rappy Veteran]

To quote a previous post in this thread...

NBC has given two of its freshman shows, Josh Schwartz's ('The O.C.') nerd-turns-spy series "Chuck" and Wednesday night cop drama "Life" back-9 orders. The fate of the Peacock's other two rookie series "The Bionic Woman" and "Journeyman" is yet to be determined.

Season-to-date "Chuck" has averaged 8.42 million viewers, while "Life" has scored 8.04 million viewers.

"Chuck" does reasonably well kicking off NBC's Monday night schedule, while "Life" has lately been building on its flat-lining lead-in "The Bionic Woman."

"Life" however regularly finishes last in the timeslot, well behind ABC's freshman series "Dirty Sexy Money."

[Rappy Veteran]

NBC announced today it will broadcast two original episodes of "Chuck" (8-9 p.m. ET Mondays) on Thursday, January 24, 8-9 p.m. ET and again at 10-11 p.m. ET -- sandwiched around an original episode of "The Celebrity Apprentice" from 9-10 p.m. ET.

[BigDaddy]

Sweet.. can't wait for another Chuck moment.

[SirEvan]

You can have your "chuck" moment, I can't wait for another Anna moment :woot:

[draklin]

So there are two more episodes and they are going to release them on the same day? Wonder why they felt the need to do the second one at 10. Must be desperate to drive up rating for the new apprentice show.

[Rappy Veteran]

You can have your "chuck" moment, I can't wait for another Anna moment :woot:

Amen :p

[draklin]

So you are saying that Ana needs her own show? but it has to be the Ana character so that she can continue to wear the "inappropriately short skirts" as Morgan put it.

[Rappy Veteran]

The short skirts will make it good watching :D
