      @@TerryYelmene Yes, I think Chuck was everything to her that she was missing in her life, and everything she needed as a person, as she is to him. She believes him, their friends, herself from those video reports and will continue to learn more back up stories on that from her mom, her 'sister', her dad, the Cat Squad, etc... She found 'their spot', she was remembering things again from years earlier, she listened to their story and laughed and cried and WANTED that kiss. Being around Chuck completely changed her in 5 short years, as it did him, and I believe she feels that pull in that last scene. And we know Chuck would stay with her forever if it took that long for her to recall everything. And if she gave them a shot, he would continue to show her why she fell in love with him in the first place from day-to-day with his actions and decisions in general.

      You're blessed. I had started watching through again in 2016 but got married in Nov 2016. My former fiancé said she wanted to watch it so I held off to watch it together.
      During our marriage (we split in 2022) we watched maybe 3-4 eps and I never watched it again. She just wasn't interested.
      Anyway, now that we're divorced I decided to finally go back and rewatch it.

    I’m 62 and discovered Chuck a couple of months ago while searching for something to watch on Amazon prime. I didn’t watch much tv when Chuck was on the air and I never heard about the show, hard to believe. I simply fell in love with the show and I already started watching season 1 again 2 weeks after watching the finale. I tried watching other shows but kept thinking about watching Chuck again. I’m thinking to myself that I must be weird to watch a show again right after I just finished watching all 91 episodes, but I now see from all the comments about the show on social media that I’m not so weird after all. I just can’t believe how many people on social media are still talking about Chuck a decade after it ended. And there are so many tributes to the show and enjoy watching all of them. I too am wishing for a Chuck sequel or movie, but I think it’s probably too late at this point. I’ve searched and watching other shows with Levi and Strahovski. Hey, now I know who Shazam is!!!

    One of the show's big mixed blessings was the fact that it was always on the cancellation bubble. As a result, there were something like 6 episodes written as "final episodes" (end of season 2, ep. 13 of season 3, end of season 3, ep. 13 of season 4, end of season 4, and end of season 5). Five times they had an episode that tied things up, and put the characters in a place where it would be a satisfying ending... and then the story continued. The characters and relationships had to grow and change. Well maybe not "had to", but the alternative would have been backsliding. It kept the characters growing and more real.

It just doesnt get boring, and I can still find myself get a bit mad that Sarah and Chuck dont get together earlier on, which I think shows how great the show is. My favourite part of the show is easily how it explores different types of relationships, family, friends and romantic. My favourite scene from the show is probably from season 2 episode 3. If you search for "chuck skinny love" you will find it.

      That's correct. Chuck was in real danger of being canceled after the second season (indeed, this was always a concern during its run). There was a large online/social media campaign to "Save Chuck," part of which was going to Subway and filling out comment cards after making a purchase (taking its cue from product placement in season 2). A lot of "work" was done and it was a glorious day when it was renewed. Chuck had and still has the best fandom around.

I love the moment Ellie hears the start of the music and gives a horrified, "Oh, God!" Then you see Jeff and Lester dancing with a bunch of pregnant women while performing the song - before the cops kick them out.

    Even years later, the ending of the show still stings. Zach Levi talked about a movie to tie it up more neatly but it never happened, and I guess at this point it's kind of late. But yes, one of my favorite shows, Yvonne Strahovski was jaw-dropping, Zach Levi was funny, the supporting cast was basically epic from start to finish, and being a hopeless romantic I enjoyed the romance aspects of it also. Rewatch it every X years and always have a good time. Go Jeffster!

Finally watched the full series again at the beginning of last year, and I've watched the full series a solid 8 more times since then. It'll always be my favorite show, and it still hurts that there never was a 6th season. Never felt like the show ended, always seemed like there was so much more that they could do.

    Chuck as a series insisted on being retro (the music and all the related sub-cultures of the 80s incorporated appropriately into the show), and that was a huge huge huge hit with the audience.

    I have watched this show from start to finish too many times and just finished another binge on it which led me to searching for videos about the show on UA-cam. I first watched it on Netflix, it was a show I've always wanted to watch but I was living in a house without cable so I couldn't catch the original airing. I showed it to my younger cousins and they loved it. I will always love this show, I even bought the collection on DVD. The love story between Chuck and Sarah is my favorite part of the show. "Sometimes the nerd gets the girl."

    This is my favorite show since I was 12 years old and, despite not being "perfect", it will never be topped in my ranking because it gives you such a sense of family that literally warms your heart.
    It's the kind of show where you're laughing during a scene and bawling in the next one. Honestly I don't think I ever came across another show that blends drama and comedy so well together like Chuck does and, like you said, this kind of genre was basically never used during those years (and still today it's not that popular).
    I dream about a Chuck movie that will let us say goodbye to these characters for the last time. Even when the cast got together during the pandemic to do a table read, it felt like coming home.
    Ok, I'll end this comment here. lol I loved your video and I'm so glad there are other people that feel about this show the same way I do!

    Found the show recently on Prime and I am so sorry I missed it so many years ago. I totally agree that this was a very under rated show. What a roller coaster ride of action, adventure and rooting for Chuck and Sarah. In between the intrigue and the shootouts, was a very neatly told story of heart tugging love, friendship and family. Hats off to the cast, writers, directors, producers and crew for making this happen. Thanks guys. Oh and after watching some of the cast reunions, I know its been mentioned but I still think either a full scale movie or 2 hour special on TV, network or otherwise would really be great. So many teasing subplots of a past nemesis or enemy coming for them all one last time. One can only hope.

    Chuck is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Not my top favorite, but top 5, if not top 3. I started watching the show from the beginning, because the premise spoke to me, as an IT guy myself. I was pretty much hooked from the 1st episode, so I stuck with it through to near the end. I cut the cord before the final season was done airing, so I ended up not watching the last few episodes until I got them later on Blu-ray, but I was a fan of the show all the way through. It truly is underrated, and that blend of the comedy, action, and character development is what really makes it work, as you said. It's the reason my favorite show of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with its unique blend of horror, drama, comedy, and character development. Chuck definitely needs more exposure, and I sincerely hope Zach Levi can get the Chuck movie made at some point. It would be awesome to see Chuck and Sarah together again, and in some big plot, maybe a few years later, even with some kids.

    Chuck is an amazing show, and it doesn’t get recognised that much which I’m sad about. I’m from the UK and I have only one friend who knows what Chuck is. One is better than none, I’m trying to introduce Chuck to my friend Cerys. But she can’t afford Amazon Prime so whenever we meet one day I’ll show her it. Chuck needs to get recognised more.. I can’t say it enough. They did a reunion last month I believe and did a table reading of “Chuck vs The Beard” it was amazing and it was great to see the cast back together again. I might make a video on how good Chuck is because not enough people know it. Thanks for making this video. I’ll share this with my friends so they can understand Chuck more :)

    Here in Brazil, the show aired between 2007 and 2013 (Cable and open TV) and I used to watch it at night when all of my family was already sleeping, I loved the show so much that I downloaded all the episodes available at the time and binged it...
    Its a shame that a few months later the last episode aired... I will never get over this show...
    Now with covid and the table read, I am watching it again, even joined reddit to gather with people to talk about this amazing show, and that led me here, to this video...

    My favorite show of all time. I was around 5 when it started airing on TV. Watched it with my father, who used to find every episode online after they removed it from TV in our county. After the first watch, I was still pretty young so I couldn't really comprehend the show entirely. So I rewatched it. A couple times to say the least. Since like 2016 I rewatch Chuck once a year, to fulfill my needs, since no other show, to me, ever got into my heart like this one did. I put a couple of friends onto it and all of them really loved it. And, this might be just myself, the ending which everyone hates is actually well written to me. It's a very unfortunate situation, yeah, but I feel like the classic "perfect ending scenario" wouldn't fit here. Through out the series, he and his normal life wishes were always put on hold because of the spy mishaps that happened, and this is just one of them which he (if the show continued/in our minds) is going to conquer. Not to lie though, watching the last scene, with "Rivers and Roads" in the background, always makes me teary and empty inside, as if I have lived these 5 years instead of Chuck. Only this show was ever able to pull such emotions, good or bad, out of me and that's why it's the best of all time to me.
    On the other note, the video was extremely well made and it convinced me to watch the other ones, so, very well done.

I just started rewatching it with my daughters. They are 14 and love it. We watch about 2 episodes a day and are just about done with the second season.
    I really appreciate you bringing up the Subway thing. Not a lot of people know this but, the show, due to low ratings, was about to get canceled. The producers came up with an idea of how to keep funding the show so NBC didn't have to and thus, keeping the fans happy!

It's got such great pop culture references, and the guest stars really help drive that home!
