Chuck is an American action comedy spy drama television series created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" named Chuck Bartowski, played by Zachary Levi, who receives an encoded email from an old college friend now working for the CIA. The message embeds the only remaining copy of a software program containing the United States' greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain, leading the CIA and the NSA to assign him handlers and use him on top-secret missions.[1][2] Produced by Fake Empire (known as College Hill Pictures, Inc. during the first three seasons before folding afterwards), Wonderland Sound and Vision, and Warner Bros. Television, the series premiered on September 24, 2007, on NBC, airing on Monday nights at 8:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. Central.[3][4] The opening theme song is a wordless edit of "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by the American rock band Cake.
As the second season finished, flagging ratings put Chuck in danger of cancellation, but fans mounted a successful campaign to encourage NBC to renew the show.[5] The campaign was unique in that fans specifically targeted a sponsor of the show, the Subway restaurant chain, leading to the chain striking a major sponsorship deal with NBC to help cover costs of the third season.[6] The series' renewal was uncertain in each subsequent season. The fifth season was the last, beginning on October 28, 2011, and moving to Friday nights at 8 p.m./7 Central.[7] The series concluded on January 27, 2012, with a two-hour finale.[8]
Chuck, Sarah, and Casey all face professional conflicts as they grow to respect each other. A genuine romantic interest develops between Chuck and Sarah. Chuck's desire to maintain his close relationships and eventually return to a normal life is challenged by the dangers and growing responsibilities of his secret life, so that he gradually becomes a more competent, confident, and willing spy. In later seasons, upgrades to the Intersect would include skills in espionage as well as information (the reason the Intersect was originally conceived), giving Chuck temporary knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and other skills such as playing the guitar, using a zipline, foreign languages, dancing, and firearms training.
Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak wrote the script for the first episode, which was initially given a put pilot commitment by NBC before a pilot order was green lit by the network in January 2007.[10] Schwartz and Fedak both attended the University of Southern California. Fedak pitched the idea to Schwartz, who agreed to develop the project with him.[11] Joseph McGinty Nichol, Schwartz's fellow executive producer on The O.C., directed the first hour of the series and consequently became an executive producer via his production company, Wonderland Sound and Vision. Fedak, Peter Johnson, Scott Rosenbaum, Matthew Miller, and Allison Adler also serve as co-executive producers.[12] NBC gave the series an early pick-up and a thirteen-episode order on May 10, 2007.[13] On November 26, 2007, TV Guide reported that NBC had picked up the series for a full, 22 episode season.[14]
Going into 2010, Aaron Barnhart of the Kansas City Star described the show's premise as "fresh, appealing and limited", expressing concern that "a lot of TV shows overstay their welcome" and fearing that in its third season the show is "about to run out of new, workable ideas".[46] USA Today called the show NBC's "best scripted hour".[47]
NBC's decision to renew the show for a thirteen-episode third season was announced on May 17, 2009.[5] At that time, both NBC's Ben Silverman and co-creator Chris Fedak confirmed that there was an option nine more episodes.[80] Although Silverman said that NBC was not looking to lower costs, Schwartz said that series production studio Warner Bros. Television had asked the producers to make budget cuts to meet a decrease in the license fee by NBC.[81] Silverman, Fedak and Schwartz promised that the show's quality would not be impacted.[80][81]
Questions about the series' continued viability began before the third season aired. Just hours before the third-season premiere, when asked whether NBC suddenly moving Jay Leno out of primetime lowered the bar for Chuck, NBC chairman Jeff Gaspin replied, "I wouldn't say the bar's lower, but we obviously have less choice at the moment, so he's got a better shot."[84]
When asked about the series' chances of being renewed for a fourth season and whether fans would have to step in again, Angela Bromstad replied, "Well, it's got to maintain, and it depends on development," but said that the show is a "pleasant surprise, and they're doing great work."[85]
The ratings for Chuck slipped, falling to a series-low 1.9 demo for two weeks running as of the 11th episode of the season, "Chuck Versus the Final Exam." The "TV By The Numbers" website reported on March 23, 2010, that this was "below the ratings level that would indicate likely renewal" despite the overall ratings difficulties that NBC was facing.[86] However, on March 30, 2010, the season's 12th episode, "Chuck Versus the American Hero" saw an increase to a 2.1 share and a 0.2 million viewer rise.[87]
On May 13, 2010, it was announced that Chuck had been renewed by NBC for a fourth season.[89] The season received a 13-episode order with an option of an additional nine episodes. The fourth season premiered during NBC's fall 2010 schedule. It retained its current timeslot.[90] The premiere episode of the fourth season was titled "Chuck Versus the Anniversary",[91] and aired on September 20.[92] Season four guest starred Linda Hamilton, Dolph Lundgren, Harry Dean Stanton, Olivia Munn, Steve Austin, Dave Batista, Summer Glau, Timothy Dalton and Eric Roberts. It was announced on October 19, 2010, that NBC had ordered an additional 11 episodes of Chuck, bringing the episode total for Season 4 to 24.[93]
Speculating on the possibility of a fifth season, Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah Walker) commented that she felt "...[the chances] are pretty good, I will be surprised if we don't get a season five." Her co-star Adam Baldwin (John Casey) concurred.[94]
It was announced on May 13, 2011, that Chuck would be renewed for a fifth, and final, season consisting of thirteen episodes, set to premiere on October 21, 2011.[95] The show was moved from Monday and aired on Friday nights, in what some consider to be a Friday night death slot.[96][97][98][99] The premiere was later pushed a week later to October 28.[7]
The first showing of the pilot occurred on July 27, 2007, at Comic-Con International in San Diego.[100] The series was originally slated to air on Tuesday nights at 9/8c as announced at the 2007 upfronts but this was later changed to Monday nights at 8/7c as announced during the 2007 Television Critics Association summer press tour. The season premiere aired on September 24, 2007, on NBC.[4][101] The pilot was leaked onto torrent websites on July 22, 2007.[102] All thirteen episodes produced before the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike have aired. The last two episodes of the original thirteen aired on January 24, 2008, with episode 12 airing at 8/7c and episode 13 at 10/9c, three days after they aired in Canada.
A full week before the second season's U.S. premiere, iTunes offered a free download of the first episode as a 'pre-air premiere'. This promotion was also available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.Chuck can also be seen on Virgin Media's On Demand service in association with Warner TV
On October 28, 2009, Warner Home Video announced that the second season of Chuck would be released on January 5, 2010.[114] Like its predecessor, Chuck: The Complete Second Season was made available in both DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats.[114] Time magazine put the DVD on its short list for January 2010, saying "Nerd wish fulfillment doesn't get funnier than this."[122]
Team Bartowski begins targeting the hostile organization called, the Ring, the parent group of Fulcrum. The organization was revealed in the season two finale by Bryce, shortly before the activation of the Intersect 2.0. Throughout the third season, Chuck faces his spy training and meets CIA agent, Daniel Shaw, who is on a Ring hit list. The Ring attempts to force Devon to act as their assassin, whom the Ring believes to be a CIA agent rather than Chuck.
Shaw returns just before the season finale, when he works to discredit Team Bartowski and General Beckman. He brings the Ring's directors; the Five Elders to a conference and Team Bartowski manages to identify the Ring leaders and proves to the entire CIA and NSA Daniel Shaw's allegiance to the Ring. Shaw escapes and returns to the Buy More where he plants explosives. Chuck engages in martial arts battle against Shaw, who is using the Ring version of the Intersect 2.0. After Chuck defeats him, Morgan accidentally blows up the Buy More.
Later in the season, Mary explains to Chuck that she was not assigned to take down just Volkoff, but his network. Volkoff finally finds out that Chuck is Mary and Stephen's son. He then forces Chuck into inviting him to the Bartowski family Thanksgiving dinner, in an effort to get along with Mary's family to impress her. After they finish their dinner, Volkoff deduces that Chuck and Sarah had activated a silent alarm to the nearest CIA base. Volkoff has his men surround the courtyard, however, Mary prevents a massacre of her family by holding Volokoff at gunpoint as well. Volkoff lowers his gun when Mary tells him that she could not love a man who would threaten her son. They then leave Chuck and Sarah unharmed as Volkoff pulls out of Burbank with his operatives. 0852c4b9a8
