Chuck

[Slaky]

The only problem I have w/ Chuck is that the episodes are mostly the same.  Chuck goes on a mission, flashes, gets caught up in spy games he shouldn't be in, saves the day humorously, insert wacky Buy More employees 3 times, 2 scenes w/ Ellie and Awesome...   That's 80% of the episodes.

It's still fun to watch, but I can see whay people are turning it off.  It's the same reason I gave up on My Name is Earl.

It's starting to stray a tad from that formula but it works for me. My Name Is Earl got awful when he went to jail. It was tolerable until then. I'd argue if they would have stayed with the formula, I might have kept watching.

Earl and Randy crossing things off the list was a good show. Not even a bouncing Catalina makes it worth watching when they don't stick to the formula.

It's certainly a lot better than it was for the first 6 or 7 episodes of the series, when they didn't really have a season-long arc to follow, or at least one that went through a few episodes.  The problem is until they introduce new characters who know Chuck's secret (like his dad), the spy plots can really only include him, Sarah (needs more Yvonne), Casey, and whatever guests they have that week.  I think Morgan or Awesome or somebody else needs to know what's going on and get involved in the spy plots.  Also, they save the last 5 minutes of every episode to show Chuck once again confessing or renouncing his love for Sarah.  It all is a little formulaic, but most of the cast is entertaining to watch, so I don't really have a problem with it.

I wonder if there will ever be a good TV show you don't ruin.

Weebs could ruin a show called "Naked Chicks And Shit Blowing Up".

I'm trying to think of a time I saw actual nudity in a Bruckheimer joint and I'm coming up empty.

You know that.

Wait.


Where am I?

Extremely entertaining episode last night. I like how the meathead was the one to stumble onto Chuck's secret identity, and Jeff and Lester showing him Casey's perv stash was hilarious. Yvonne in her skivvies = boi oi oing.

So how are they going to get Chuck back in the spy game? Will he choose to have the intersect re-installed or something?

What did Morgan need that condom for?  The oriental broad?  Damn him. 

I bet Chuck's dad accidently puts it back in his brain.

Probably by canceling the show.  They seem to be setting it up to end next week.

Wrong again.

Good interview with one of the co-creators:

If "Chuck vs. the Ring" winds up being the last episode of the series, how do you think the fans will react?

They're going to burn their living rooms. They're going to destroy their television sets. There could be chaos across the country.

On the other hand they may say,  " 'Chuck'?  Which show was that?"
