‘Chuck Versus the Ring’ Season-Finale Preview
April 26, 2009 by Chandra
It’s almost Ellie-Awesome wedding time on Chuck finally, or is it? Hard to say from that utterly distressed look on Ellie’s face above.
“Chuck Versus the Ring,” the second-season finale of NBC’s best (and only) spy dramedy airs tomorrow, April 27, at 8pm ET, and we loyal fans expect some nuptial action that has been in the making for quite some time.
Unfortunately, both Fulcrum and Chevy Chase’s evil Ted Roark have other plans that just might derail the anticipated ceremony before it even has the opportunity to begin.
‘Chuck’ Wedding: Isn’t the Bride Lovely?
April 17, 2009 by Chandra
The wedding pictures are in, and doesn’t Chuck’s sister Ellie look absolutely stunning? I mean, aside from her thoroughly frustrated expression?
“Chuck Versus the Ring,” the big wedding episode — which also doubles as Chuck’s second-season finale — doesn’t air until Monday, April 27. Another new episode, “Chuck Versus the Colonel,” airs the preceding Monday, April 20. Yet, early finale preview photos show cast members all dolled up for the nuptials of Doctors Eleanor Bartowski and Devon Woodcomb.
‘Chuck Versus the Dream Job’ Preview
April 5, 2009 by Chandra
“Chuck Versus the Dream Job,” tomorrow night’s new episode of Chuck, is the big one, my fellow fans. Sure, it was great having Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer stop by last week during “Chuck Versus the Broken Heart,” but the latest adventures of the world’s only Human Intersect (I assume) will feature highly anticipated guest stars Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) as long lost Daddy Bartowski and Chevy Chase as Ted Roark, Chuck’s new boss at his titular dream job.
Tricia Helfer Time on ‘Chuck’
March 29, 2009 by Chandra
Tomorrow night’s fresh episode of Chuck is called “Chuck Versus the Broken Heart,” and it’s the one featuring Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer, of course.
Everybody’s favorite Cylon is back in the spy game, à la her recent guest stint on Burn Notice, as Agent Alex Forrest. The official episode synopsis describes the character as “heartless,” and she arrives on the scene to give Sarah a job review after Chuck chooses the wrong time to discuss his (in)tense relationship with his handler. And while that’s unfolding, annoyingly persistent Jeff and Lester do their best to infiltrate Devon’s bachelor’s party (and they succeed!).
Three clips follow the jump: the first is a sneak peek at sort of undercover Agent Forrest “entertaining” the guys at Devon’s get together, the second another sneak peek at Chuck and Alex playing doctor and nurse (explosions erupt), and the third a behind-the-scenes interview with Helfer for Entertainment Tonight in her home country Canada. Clearly, this is one of the most anticipated episodes of Chuck this season or last, and I predict it’s going to be very much worth the wait.
‘Chuck’ Faces a Predator Tomorrow
I really missed NBC’s Chuck during its one week off, so thank goodness the show returns tomorrow, March 23, with the brand-new episode “Chuck Versus the Predator.”
Even better, fans are now just one week away from the March 30 episode “Chuck Versus the Broken Heart.” That’s the one featuring the widely anticipated guest star appearance by Battlestar Galactica and Burn Notice fan favorite Tricia Helfer.
But first, on tomorrow’s episode, while our familiar Burbank-based Buy More crew takes on the posh Beverly Hills branch, Chuck not only has contact with the person who supposedly invented the Intersect, but he also must decide whether or not he wants to let that person attempt to remove the Intersect from his head once and for all.
Sure, Chuck has been jonesing for such sweet relief ever since Bryce Larkin rocked his world almost two seasons ago. I’m guessing, however, that the procedure would be much easier said than done, and that Sarah, Casey, and General Beckman might have something to say about it, too. Which people will Chuck trust, then, with his brain and his life?
Tune in tomorrow night at 8pm EST to find out, and take a look at the promo for “Chuck Versus the Predator” after the jump. Yes, that’s Tricia Helfer for a nanosecond in the clip dolled up in orange like Sarah, so I hope viewers get an early introduction to her intriguing character Agent Alex Forrest.
The Beefcake Returns on ‘Chuck Versus the Lethal Weapon’
March 8, 2009 by Chandra
The last episode of Chuck, March 2nd’s “Chuck Versus the Beefcake,” was pretty good, although I imagine not so much for viewers who totally want Chuck and Sarah to hook up and stay that way.
If you missed it, English actor Jonathan Cake (Brideshead Revisited, Six Degrees) stopped by to play suave James Bond-ish English spy Cole Barker. During his collaboration with Team Chuck on yet another mission to foil yet another gaggle of devious Fulcrum agents, he not only hit it off big time with Sarah, but he also learned Chuck’s true identity as the Intersect.
Catch Jeffster on ‘Chuck Versus the Best Friend’
February 23, 2009 by Chandra
Long time, no see, but thankfully Anna Wu returns as fantabulous Nerd Herder Julia Ling on tonight’s brand-new episode of Chuck called “Chuck Versus the Best Friend.” Too bad for poor underachiever Morgan she’s also got a new man in tow. Ouch!
Andy Richter & Jenny McCarthy Guest on ‘Chuck Versus the Suburbs’
February 11, 2009 by Chandra
I reckon the February 16th episode of Chuck called “Chuck Versus the Suburbs” is going to be yet another prime specimen of non-stop, supremely funny entertainment, thanks in part to guest stars Andy Richter (Andy Barker, P.I.) and Jenny McCarthy (Two and a Half Men). After looking at the episode photos, let me venture a guess that they’re doubling as the bad guys, too.
When Chuck and Sarah’s latest assignment forces them to pose as a happily married couple living in the suburbs, they meet a variety of interesting people, including Brad (Richter), a cheerful next-door neighbor in the stationary business, and Sylvia (McCarthy), a seductive woman who lives across the street and has her eye on Chuck.
‘Chuck Versus the Third Dimension’ Preview
NBC is rolling out the sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes clips for next Monday’s Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Third Dimension,” the first fresh episode of the sophomore series in 2009.
This is the one in 3D where Lost alum Dominic Monaghan drops by to reprise his role as Charlie Pace play a rock star who causes Chuck Bartowski some serious headaches after the team rescues him from certain death.
Take a look at the earlier post “Preview: Dominic Monaghan in ‘Chuck Versus the Third Dimension’” to see the guest star in action, and follow the jump for a couple of video clips that provide an in-depth look at the episode.
I can’t wait for Chuck to get started again, especially since the show has so many great guest stars and plotlines coming up. If you’re a fan, make sure to begin tuning in on February 2 to help raise the ratings as high as possible and encourage NBC to reward the series with a third season.
Now on to the videos after the jump, the first of which features guest Monaghan among the cast members interviewed.
Preview: Dominic Monaghan in ‘Chuck Versus the Third Dimension’
January 20, 2009 by Chandra
If you haven’t heard yet, Lost alum Dominic Monaghan has an upcoming guest-star gig on the very special February 2 episode of Chuck called “Chuck Versus the Third Dimension.”
The episode’s not just a big deal because of Monaghan, of course, but also because (1) it’s the first new Chuck of 2009 and (2) it will supposedly be broadcast in exciting 3-D. I say supposedly because I’ve tried watching 3-D TV and movies before, and neither ever did a thing for me. Maybe this time will be the charm.
Monaghan plays — surprise … not! — a rock star, this one named Tyler Martin. When the international sensation becomes the target of deadly crooks, Team Chuck steps in and saves his butt. Dear old Chuck then has second thoughts about that turn of events when he and Tyler have all kinds of problems during a night hanging out.
