Any other Chuck fans?
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 06:09 PM by matt819
We don't have TV, so we pretty much depend on DVDs and streaming. As a result, we're often not quite up to speed on some series and can't quite follow what's popular or not. And clearly networks don't share my views; otherwise The Listener and Trauma would not have been cancelled.

In any case, my wife came upon a commercial for Chuck on the TV at the gym, and when checking IMDB we found out it's in its third season. So we caught up with DVDs and Hulu, and now I have to wait until the season 3 DVDs are released. I am absolutely hooked. Zachary Levi, who plays Chuck, is a riot. Good actor, fantastic comic timing. Yvonne Strahovski is super as well, and gorgeous to boot. In any case, this is one of only a small handful of series I am hooked on. Others, for those who are probably not interested: White Collar, Burn Notice (again, waiting for Season 3 on DVD), House (formulaic, but I like it), Glee, Fringe, Medium and CSI (I know, these don't quite fit the mold of my type of TV, but I get sucked in). I'd watch more CBS shows, except they haven't quite got the hang of streaming video.

1. I love Chuck.

This season has been the best. Long plot arcs taking it into new territory. Last week ended with a nice twist.

I'm also a fan of White Collar and Burn Notice.

Here is a site you can keep up with the latest shows - but not too many are backlogged so it is just the current shows. http://eztv.it/

2. I have watched Chuck since day one and just love it.
I really miss the goofiness of the (I almost wrote Best Buy) Buy More and that crew and Chuck's more of a real spy now but it's a cute show.

Also love Burn Notice and White Collar from your list.

3. Love Casey!!
But I liked him better when he was threatening to kill Chuck in every episode. But it is a good show with some great supporting characters.

Does NBC.com have full episodes of this season? You can go to their site and see if they play full episodes.

4. Love the show!
Been with it since the beginning. I was late to the party with Fringe, though. Got the blu-ray season 1 set for $25..am working my way through it now. Gotta love that Walter. Glee is a great show too.

5. I'm a HUGE Chuck addict
I've seen every ep and can't wait for it to come on each week (but the kid monopolizes the TV with Nickelodeon, so I have to wait till I can watch it on Hulu on Tuesday mornings).

I think Zach Levi has a lot of the young Chevy Chase about him (Fletch-like) and, a the risk of sounding weird about a guy who's half my age, I think he's gorgeous.

LOVE the Buy More scenes--Jeffster especially!

And Casey "grrr..."

And Awesome! (I still can't figure out how a guy that dense can be an m.d.)

All in all, a great show--I even told my 6 YO that when he's older he'll have to watch it, because he'd love the spy stuff.
