Angel Cohn of Television Without Pity is appealing to the exeuctives at NBC to save the on-the-bubble series, “Chuck.”
Many of us here at Slice of SciFi are big fans of the show and are eager to see the adventures of Chuck Bartowski continue. Outside of “The Big Bang Theory” you would be hard pressed to find a more fun and entertaining show on television right now.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s a sample of why Cohn thinks “Chuck” deserves a new season…
5. The awesome cast
From the top down, this cast is fabulous. Zachary Levi is geeky, but in a hot and endearing way. Yvonne Strahovski is as sexy as a Bond girl, but can make us believe Sarah would actually fall for a nerd like Chuck. The entire Buy More clan looks like they actually stepped out of a big-box store. Adam Baldwin makes a perfect agent. And lets not forget Sarah Lancaster and Ryan McPartlin (Ellie and Captain Awesome), who give Chuck a life outside of his day job and his secret-agent Intersect work.6. They know how to handle guest stars.
We’re not huge fans of stuntcasting, but we’re slightly more amenable to it when it’s done well. And this show knows how to handle big names without letting them take over their show. What could be greater than watching Sarah beat the hell out of Nicole Richie, or seeing John Larroquette as a debonair retired Bond-type, or Dominic Monaghan as another rocker? Our favorite appearance was Reginald VelJohnson reviving his Die Hard role, complete with Twinkies. Though Tricia Helfer is on tonight, so we reserve our right to change our minds.
Surf over and read the rest of the article and find out why this great show deserves a third season.
Most consistently entertaining show on TV.
Let’s not forget who will be showing up next week and for several more shows — Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap & Star Trek Enterprise). He will be playing Chuck and Ellie’s long-lost father.
Chuck is more consistently entertaining than Heroes, that’s for sure.
I would be absolutely gobsmacked if Chuck *didn’t* get another season.
