Apparently on Monday there will be a few Chuck rally's in a few states.

There is also a Twitter rally. Between 12-1pm local time Monday, Chuck fans are supposed to bombard NBC with Tweets about bringing Chuck back.

Some good news about renewal - but be sure to watch tonight!

I wonder if he said give me 22 episode full season at s2 budget and it will be the last. We'll wrap everything up.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I'm never terribly disappointed when a show packs it in, but I'll be hurting if Chuck doesn't continue.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

That's 2 shows in a row that I've seen Swoosie Kurtz interact with a character named Chuck. :)

Tigers and bathrooms seem to be a trend, having seen The Hangover a few weeks ago.

When Morgan said "I hate you Chuck.", I translated that in my head as "We hate you, Zachary."

Even thought it was spoiled in the promos, I liked Morgan not being able to shoot the real thing. I suspect I would be the same.

I couldn't figure out where I knew Udo Kier from at first, but looking at his filmography, he was in Ace Ventura.

Looks like they've finally managed to pull Ellie into things somehow. The bit with the Ring agent at the end came out of left field for me.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I was expecting it. Rule #467,321 of watching television: Any character who comes out of nowhere to be helpful is bad. :)

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I didn't see it was coming, but have tired of that whole story line (the Doctors W/O Borders thing) and figured to make things interesting (tidy), they needed to wrap in Ellie and Awesome into Chuck's world.

Thought the storyline with Willard and Kurtz was pretty good. I'm still hoping that Chuck and Sarah stay a couple and all the trials and tribulation abound from other aspects of their jobs/lives. Casey training Morgan was gold!

(Two Fred Willard guest spots in one week; sweet!)

Yeah, I didn't trust that guy from the moment he showed up and totally expected a twist ending. For me, the "out of left field" would've been if the entire Africa thing had zero to do with Chuck being a spy. Instead, how about they get kidnapped by locals and Chuck travels half-way across the world to save them?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I liked the Hart to Hart themed opening to tonight's show but I found I had a hard time paying attention throughout. Maybe its the splitting headache I have but I just found myself zoning out tonite.

Will have to rewatch it sometime this week.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I was expecting Ring activity as soon as I saw the first shot in DRC because why the hell would they even bother to show us that!? I just hope that they find a way of rescuing them without Ellie finding out about Chuck, however unlikely that is. Wasn't the whole conflict from the beginning that his family and friends would be carted off if they ever found out?


I loved the little Hart to Hart bit. Would it be so bad if this show became something like that? I don't think so.

And Organ really shouldn't complain after he bagged Carina at the beginning of the season. That huge over-achievement should tide him over for a good while.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

thought Sarah was definitely bitchy during the 1st half of this episode...

obviously there was going to be SOME sort of spy plot with Ellie and Awesome, otherwise why show it.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

Fred Willard is getting a lot of work lately! In the past few weeks I have seen him on Modern Family, Castle and now Chuck.

Good episode. This is clearly the start of the mini-arc that are the additional episodes NBC ordered. Very excited for the final few of the season especially after Josh Schwartz's interview buzz about the final episode!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I think Ellie & Awesome are the best part of this show. If Chuck chucks it in, I think they should do an Ellie spin-off.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

It was weird seeing her without an eyepatch though.


Anyone have a screen cap of Chuck & Morgan's display case full of vintage gaming systems in their apartment?

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

:lol: I thought the same thing. Good times...

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

From the 480p feed at Hulu (if anyone finds a higher resolution screencap, feel free to post):

Is that N64 controllers I see in there? If so, I feel old. :)

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

This is about as good as I can get from the broadcast:

And you feel old because of an N64 controller? How do you think I feel remembering the Odyssey?

5.3m viewers last night. Pretty far from the "solid performance" it needed.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

In my defense, I'm 31 and didn't start playing video games until the NES in 1986. :)

I hope there's a collection of deleted scenes on the BD showing Fred Willard improvising.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

Not sure what sort of numbers they genuinely would have expected to get going up against a new House and DWtS...

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

That, and I had an Atari 2600 as a kid. I thought I saw one in there last night, but don't see it now.

A friend of mind down the street had a Colecovision

I'm 35. I guess those 4 years make a big difference in the game console generation gap.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I'm turning 30 next week and still have my 2600 in the basement... One day I plan on setting up all my systems like Chuck and Morgan.

2600> NES > Genesis/SegaCD/32X > Saturn > N64 > Gamecube > PS3

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I really didn't like the way they ended the storyline with the Turners. I thought it was kind of silly for Chuck and Sarah to stand up for them so quickly after pretty much betraying their country.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I had a Colecovision with the Atari 2600 adapter unit. Best of both worlds!

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I've watched about half this episode so far and it's been pretty fun.

I don't know, but I just don't like Swoosie Kurtz. I think she's more annoying than funny.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

she's disturbing to look at, like an overly botox'd demented clown after a stroke.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I thought this was another fantastically fun episode!

The opening scene with Morgan and Sarah was great. Vitamin C...errr D. :lol:

I agree that the way the Turner plot wrapped up could have been much better. Plus I would have prefered if they were more coy to Beckman about their replacement and then said something to Chuck and Sarah after the fact.

I'm not usually big on the plot holes, but the guy just got away and then they forget a tiger is in the apartment. :confused:

I'm glad the Ellie and Awesome storyline is tying in. Perhaps the best part is that the Ring isn't gone and they aren't stupid. For a second I thought it was going to be a ploy to try and get Devon who they still think is an agent, but that's not the case. I actually bought into the doctor helping Ellie, but once they cut to him looking in on her phone call I thought something was off. Granted I thought he was going to hit on her, but the Ring twist was welcome.

While I enjoyed the Morgan and Casey training I think that needs to go on for longer. All of a sudden Casey puts in a recommendation for Morgan to pass? Odd.

Only 4 to go? :( I like why the figures may have been down, but it still sucks that they were.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

Yvonne is quite enjoyable in her panties, even though her legs are skinny and she doesnt have much of a butt.

How much makeup do they have to put on her face ? It looks painted.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

If you look closely you'll also notice they digitally "airbrush" her face in closeups.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I would have liked to see more of Casey teaching Morgan how to be a spy.

The storyline with the Turners seemed like kind of a throwaway plot to me. Although I do enjoy the consistent shots each week of Yvonne in various forms of lingerie

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I thought the Turners storyline kind of sucked. As I said earlier, I don't like Swoosie Kurtz and the mission didn't really have alot of substance.

It was funny seeing Casey train Morgan, but I would have liked to have seen more of it.

Devin and Ellie in Africa was interesting and I liked the reveal at the end about the other doctor.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

Yeah, the Turners plot kinda fell flat for me. I get what they were attempting, it was just very 'meh.' I think I would have rather seen more of Casey training Morgan. However I do think Chuck and Sarah's chemistry was great this episode. No awkward kisses, they all seemed very natural.

The Ring has agents in DWB in Africa? -ohbfrank- I'd prefer Awesome and Ellie's plots remain independent. The Buy More is all spy stuff these days so the show loses a little something by having everything tie into the spy story. Also the Africa set looked terrible. I'm glad they are ending the Africa thing quickly. If ER couldn't make it interesting in a realistic looking setting than Chuck and their plastic trees just won't work.

So overall, it was entertaining as usual, but the highlight was Sarah in her undies.

Re: Chuck -- "Chuck Versus the Role Models" -- 05/03/10
 

I did not know tv programs did that.
