From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chuck is an action-comedy television program from the United States created by
Josh Schwartz and
Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working in the
CIA; the message embeds the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain.
[1][2]
Produced by College Hill Pictures,
Wonderland Sound and Vision and
Warner Bros. Television, the series premiered on September 24, 2007, on
NBC, airing on Monday nights at 8/7c leading into
Heroes.
[3][4] Despite receiving a full season pickup, the first season contained only thirteen episodes; production was stalled due to the
2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
[5][6] The second season started on September 29, 2008, with a full 22-episode season order.
[7] NBC released the first episode of season two a week before its air date via multiple online distribution methods, and cable on demand.
After a two-month "Save Chuck" campaign mounted by fans,
Chuck was renewed for a third season with a thirteen-episode order
[8] that was subsequently extended to nineteen episodes.
[9] A major sponsorship deal between NBC and the
Subway restaurant chain was also announced to help cover costs of the third season.

[10] That 2-part premiere pulled the series' highest
ratings since 2007, excluding a special 3-D episode which aired the day after
Super Bowl XLIII: 7.7 million viewers and a 3.0
demo rating for the first hour, falling to 7.2 million and a 2.9 for the second half.
[11]
Plot
At the beginning of the series, Chuck receives an e-mail from
Bryce Larkin (
Matthew Bomer), his former Stanford University roommate, who is now an apparently "rogue"
CIA agent. When he opens it, the entire database of all the US government's secret information—a neural supercomputer called
The Intersect—is subliminally embedded into his brain. Both the
NSA and the CIA want the intelligence returned to them and dispatch agents of their own—
Major John Casey (
Adam Baldwin) and
Agent Sarah Walker (
Yvonne Strahovski)—to retrieve the data.
Since the information was stolen by Bryce and the government's copy is destroyed in his attempted escape, and since Chuck experiences
"flashes" of information from the database activated by certain triggers around him (such as faces, voices, in-context keywords, and various objects), he must use the knowledge he now possesses to help the government thwart assassins and international terrorists—upending his previously uneventful life. In order to preserve their safety, Chuck must keep his newfound occupation a secret from his family and friends, forcing Casey and Walker to establish an uneasy alliance and secret identities; Walker poses as Chuck's girlfriend and takes a cover job at a local restaurant near the Buy More while Casey reluctantly goes undercover as part of the Buy More team.
As the series progresses, it is revealed that rogue spies are engaged in a secret war with the legitimate intelligence community, and that Bryce stole the Intersect to keep the real rogue spies from capturing it. The rogue spies believe they can aid their cause by capturing the human Intersect or by building their own Intersect.
The government, meanwhile, wishes to rebuild the Intersect. This would make the Intersect in Chuck’s head redundant, making him a national security risk, so Casey is secretly under orders to kill Chuck if and when he becomes redundant.
Chuck, Sarah and Casey all face professional conflicts as they grow to respect each other and 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 new secret life, and he gradually becomes a more competent, confident and willing spy.
As of Season 3, Chuck has willingly decided to become a real spy, to Sarah's chagrin. Although he failed "spy school," his effectiveness in the field has led General Beckman to give him a second chance and reinstate him as a member of the team, where
Daniel Shaw is introduced to encourage his development as an agent. Chuck must now learn to balance his emotions to control the Intersect, which is complicated by his lingering feelings for Sarah.

Production
Conception
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.
[14] Schwartz and Fedak both attended the
University of Southern California and the latter pitched the idea to Schwartz who agreed to develop the project with him.
[15] 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.

Casting
Zachary Levi and
Adam Baldwin were the first two to be cast in February 2007 in the roles of Chuck Bartowski and veteran NSA agent Major John Casey, respectively. Fedak always had Baldwin in mind for the role of John Casey and the producers found that the actor was a "perfect fit" for the character during the first casting session.
[15][19] Relative newcomer
Yvonne Strahovski was chosen for the female lead role of what was then
CIA officer Sarah Kent in the same month.
[20] Casting continued throughout
March with
Sarah Lancaster,
Joshua Gomez, and
Natalie Martinez landing the parts of Dr. Ellie Bartowski (Chuck's older sister), Morgan Grimes (Chuck's best friend), and Kayla Hart (Chuck's neighbor and love interest), respectively.
[21] The Kayla Hart character was dropped before filming because creators
Chris Fedak and
Josh Schwartz found it unlikely and too complicated to the storyline that two women would be pining over Chuck. Morgan's surname was later changed to "Grimes" and Sarah's surname was changed to "Walker" as it was previously "Kent".

Critical reception
Early reviews for
Chuck were strong.
Rolling Stone magazine included the show on its Fall 2007 "We Like to Watch" list, saying the show "wipes the floor with the other fall debuts."
[25] Chuck landed on
USA Today's list of the "10 Picks for 2007", and they called Levi's performance "incredibly winning", giving the comedy three-out-of-four stars.
[26][27] Chuck drew numerous comparisons to another critically-acclaimed comedy that debuted in Fall 2007—
Reaper—which also starred a twenty-something underachiever who works in a large retail, "
big-box" store (Work Bench) and is drawn into heroism against his will.
[25][26][28][29]The
Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan wrote that "the show pays attention to the mechanics of storytelling and doesn't just try to coast on the comedy." She continued, "[Given] the level of attention paid to all those other things—emotion, suspense, plotting, character—
Chuck ends up being one of the TV scene's greatest pleasures at the moment."
[37] Television Without Pity's Angel Cohn finds
Chuck to be a well-written show, saying "it features some of the smartest and most quick-witted dialogue on TV". He praises the ensemble cast and notes "while the first season was good, this show has really hit its stride in its second season."
[38] James Poniewozik of
Time magazine says the show is a "delight" and that with the second season the "new episodes quickly jump back in, with higher stakes and sharper jokes."
[39] The Star-Ledger's Alan Sepinwall calls
Chuck "the most purely entertaining show currently on television, whether you're talking network or cable."
[40] He states that "what makes
Chuck so special ... is that there's a fundamental warmth and humanity underneath the jokes", with "a cast of appealing characters played by very good actors."
[41]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".
[42] USA Today called the show NBC's "best scripted hour."
[43] However,
SLANT Magazine bemoaned Season 3's reinstatement of Chuck and Sarah's relationship, saying "as it stands the situation with Chuck and Sarah is worn down, tired, and typical," though he added "with a show as genuinely enjoyable as Chuck, status quo is far from a death sentence."
[44]Awards
Season 1 of
Chuck enjoyed much formal recognition. The program was mentioned multiple times in
IGN's 2007 year-in-review awards. Along with winning the honor of Best New TV Series, Sarah Walker won the award for best TV character, and Chuck and Sarah as a couple won the "Couple That We Rooted for the Most" award.
Chuck was also nominated for "Best New TV Comedy Series" at the 2008
People's Choice Awards, which aired on January 8, 2008, but lost to
Samantha Who?[45] The series stunt coordinator Merritt Yohnka won the 2007-2008
Primetime Emmy for "Outstanding Stunt Coordination".
Chuck was also nominated for "Outstanding Main Title Design" in 2007, but didn't win.
[46] Merritt Yohnka also won the 2008-2009
Primetime Emmy for "Outstanding Stunt Coordination", back-to-back wins for the same award.
[47] In 2009, the series won the
Ewwy Award for Best Comedy Series and
Zachary Levi for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
Campaign for series renewal
Despite being one of the first series to be renewed by NBC for the 2008-2009 television season,
Chuck was classified as a show "on the bubble" between renewal and cancellation in April 2009 after NBC decided to delay its decision on its renewal for a third season until early May.
[48][49][50] The show's second season did not improve on or maintain the audience numbers received in the first season and has consistently obtained low ratings, making it one of the least-watched shows in its Monday 8:00 pm ET timeslot.

[52] The week of April 6, 2009, television blogger Kath Skerry changed the name of her website GiveMeMyRemote.com to GiveMeMyChuck.com and used Twitter to notify her readers to support the show, prompting television columnists Alan Sepinwall of
The Star-Ledger, Maureen Ryan of
Chicago Tribune and Josef Adalian of
TelevisionWeek to write
Chuck-related news on their websites and Twitter feeds.
[53] Sepinwall also wrote an open letter to NBC on reasons for renewal, while Ryan encouraged fan support by listing the various ways in which they could contribute to the campaign to save
Chuck.
[54][55] One fan, Wendy Farrington, was inspired by a product placement in second season episodes to organize a campaign to purchase "Footlong"
submarine sandwiches from
Subway on the air date of the second season finale.
[56] This movement gained support from various cast and crew members, with actor
Zachary Levi seen leading hundreds of fans to a Subway restaurant in
Birmingham,
England.

[62][63]
The campaign also prompted press and media coverage, with
The Hollywood Reporter calling
Chuck one of the "most discussed bubble show[s] online".
[64] Linda Holmes, writing for
NPR, noted the support the campaign has received from both fans and critics, and comments: "It's very common for chasms to open between critics and viewers... But here, critics find themselves passionately advocating for something that's extraordinarily enjoyable to watch."
[65] James Poniewozik of
Time magazine wrote about the efficacy of save-this-show columns and fan protests, saying, "The sad fact of advertising-supported television is that, unlike cable, it still rewards breadth, not depth, of viewership. Four million people who watch a show really hard are still just four million people to an ad buyer. Unless they spend money."
[66] He stated that the "Finale & Footlong" campaign was a far more effective way to demonstrate support since Subway is one of the show's major sponsors.
[66] However, Josh Bernoff of
Advertising Age remarks, "Thousands of visible, loyal viewers does not equal millions of actual viewers. Objects in the groundswell may be smaller than they appear. People who congregate online are not a representative sample."
[67].^ April 20, 2009 at 03:21 AM .

[68][69] Additionally,
Chuck won the annual "Save Our Shows" poll by
USA Today in which 43,000 people voted, topping the poll with 54% of respondents favoring renewal, beating other bubble shows such as
Cold Case (45%) and
Without a Trace (41%).

[72] Although Silverman has claimed that NBC is not looking to lower costs, Schwartz has stated 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.
[73] Silverman, Fedak and Schwartz have all stated that the show's quality will not be impacted.
[72][73]
On October 28, 2009, numerous media sources began to run reports that NBC had picked up an additional six episodes.
[74][75]Questions about the series' continued viability began before the third season aired. Just hours before the third season premiere, 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."
[76]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 that the show is a "Pleasant surprise, and they're doing great work."
[77]Broadcast and distribution
Broadcast history
The first showing of the pilot occurred on July 27, 2007 at
Comic-Con International in
San Diego.
[78] 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][79] The pilot was leaked onto
torrent websites on July 22, 2007.
[80] 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.
Season Two premiered on September 29, 2008. While the series originally had a 13 episode order, NBC ordered another nine, ensuring the series would get the full 22-episode treatment.
[7] The theme song is "
Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by
Cake.
On February 2, 2009,
Chuck became the first scripted television series in the U.S. to broadcast a full-length
3D television episode.
[citation needed] The episode was broadcast using the
ColorCode 3D stereoscopy system, and could be viewed by wearing a pair of glasses distributed as part of a national promotion for the movie "
Monsters Vs. Aliens," which was sponsored by Intel.
