Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Rafe Judkins and Lauren LeFranc Director: Matt Barber Network: NBC, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: December 30, 2011 For its fifth and final season CHUCK has been firing on all cylinders, wrapping up loose plot threads, bringing back important characters and essentially building up a place where our characters (we hope) will live in some sort of form of happily ever after once the finale is over. This week with “Vs. The Baby”, we’re into a very Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) centered episode. At the end […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Amanda Kate Shuman Director: Peter Lauer Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: December 23, 2011 On the roller coaster ride that is CHUCK this season, this week’s episode, Chuck vs. The Santa Suit, you almost have to wonder if we’re headed back into that corner it sometimes feels like the writers have written themselves into. You also have to wonder how many of the old bad guys they’re going to rustle up in the next few episodes. Tonight, we have Daniel Shaw (Brandon Routh) back from […]Read On »

TV Review: CHUCK – Season 5 – “Vs. The Curse”

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Alex Katsnelson Director: Michael Schultz Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: December 16, 2011 There is definitely something up the sleeves of the team and producers of CHUCK this season. On one hand, it seemed as though they’d written themselves into a corner, but now with “Chuck Vs. The Curse,” it may not be a corner, but a secret passageway. But where that passageway is leading is beyond me. At the end of last week’s episode, the team at Carmichael Industries – the private spy company […]Read On »

TV Review: CHUCK – Season 5 – “Vs. The Hack Off”

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Craig DiGregorio Director: Zachary Levi Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: December 9, 2011 “Chuck vs. the Hack Off” is star Zachary Levi’s third time behind the cameras on CHUCK, and I’m thinking he’s got his next career move lined up for himself. It truly helps that he gets the show from its DNA, but this was one slick episode, filled with those little bits that leave you smiling when you catch them. So, when we last left the independent spies of Carmichael Industries, Casey had just […]Read On »

TV Review: CHUCK – Season 5 – “Vs. The Business Trip”

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Kristin Newman Director: Allan Kroeker Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: November 18, 2011 Now, “Vs. The Business Trip” is more like the CHUCK we’ve known and loved all these past five seasons. With a CIA hit put out on Morgan (Joshua Gomez) because he’s been telling everyone he has the Intersect, that CIA database imprinted in the brain that Chuck (Zachary Levi) used to have, General Beckman (Bonita Friedericy) comes and takes it away. End of problem, right? Chuck and Sarah go back trying to […]Read On »

TV Review: CHUCK – Season 5 – “Vs. The Frosted Tips”

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Phil Klemmer Director: Paul Marks Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: November 11, 2011 I think it’s safe to say that among the CHUCK faithful, it’s pretty universally acknowledged that letting Morgan (Joshua Gomez) have the Intersect (basically all the CIA and NSA intelligence downloaded into the brain) was a massive, colossal mistake. And while last week’s episode seemed to cement that opinion with Morgan acting like a complete and total jerk, it did end with a tiny glimmer of hope that there might be something more […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: CHUCK co-creator Chris Fedak and co-star Joshua Gomez on the secrets of the final season – Part 2

NBC’s CHUCK, now in its fifth season in its new timeslot on Fridays at 8 PM, is the brainchild of creators/executive producers Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz. The title character, played by Zachary Levi, started out as a nerdy employee at the Buy More who was transformed into an inexperienced super spy when his brain became filled with the Intersect, a wealth of espionage knowledge that also (at the end of Season Two) included fighting skills. Over the years, Chuck fell in love with and finally married his spy handler Sarah, played by Yvonne Strahovski, and befriended grumpy fellow spy […]Read On »

It does not come until the end of this utterly dreary episode, but it is a glimmer of hope. Until then, Morgan is not handling the download of the Intersect very […]Read On »
