The music of Chuck is one of the best parts.
Anyone shows with similar music?
@@omnia9348i feel that too - that longingness for a music to feed the sad sad soul. Which only nico stai was able to. Sad haven't heard of him for the last 5 6 years now😔
And by music, we mean...Jeffster!
@@akeechavez9850 Thanks for making me cry😢😂😂🙏
I had to look up all the seasons’ sound tracks to find out what the songs were
This show literally defined me as a person. My music taste, my style, humor, personality, and moral standpoints. This was my favorite show of all time up until 2016 when I found Person of Interest but Chuck is still my Nr. 2. Viva la Buymoria!
I love both shows, but Chuck is my personal top. Person of interest just doesn’t have enough humor for me. And the 5th season wasn’t my favorite. But POI is still my #2.
So there are two of us! This series was very important for me. It started to shape my musical taste too.
@@mllnobody7669 Make it three! This show recently introduced me to Bon Iver, couldn't believe I slept on him for so long.
Binged it for the first time it ended and I forgot how awesome it is
@@awolo_9474 Make it four. I feel exactly the same.
I agree that Chuck was an exceptional series with great elements and perfect casting. I am still sad about the ending though...
Yes, the ending was sad, but it was hopeful. It implied that Chuck and Sarah will get back together and that she decided to give their relationships another chance, regardless of whether she will regain her memories back or not.
@@emperorpalpatine6239 which is fucked
@@kangad4711 @Emperor Palpatine @Okyamus - I couldn't disagree more! if Chuck and Sarah were undeniable, unforgettable, and forever unending 'perfect soulmates'.... AND THEY WERE! ....then, the ending was... perhaps the very best in television series history (I believe IT WAS) - Sarah's memory was not needed for her to subconsciously find her way back to their exact spot on Malibu beach - Sarah's knowing how honest/good Chuck was not necessary for her to ask for/listen to/believe in Chuck telling her their story - AND Sarah showed she held enough of her own deep-down openness to/feelings of love once she was with Chuck to ask him to "kiss me." It was all there; everything we needed to know that they were 'perfect soulmates' and would HAVE TO begin to love one another again, even if it had to happen a 1000 times over.
@@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.
What do you mean? The kiss brought her memories back. I am sure.
I started watching in high school and spent my entire freshman year of college convincing my roommate to watch it. When she did she couldn't believe how much she loved it. Bc of covid I am back home with my parents and got my dad on the Chuck train too! It's on prime and not a ton of people have it but if you have prime it's totally worth it.
You're goddamn good american
All that's required to watch it is an internet connection, ThePirateBay and Utorrent!
@@jbb3675 rargb is my favorite
Seriously. Sooo many people refuse to even try it out and they have NO IDEA how amazing it is.
Joel Bauman lol it’s on amazon too
This is my personal favorite... Love every aspect of it, except it needs a closure. It needs Chuck: The Movie to be real. 😎
That's true, hopefully it happens someday
After years and 3rd rewatch I finally liked ending. But 'Chuck' as series and Chuck as Hero need The Movie! :)
I can pact with The Devil, only to see what happened after finale... :D
I miss Chuck.
Chuck versus the big screen!
I can't believe that this show stiil doesn't get the recognition it deserves after so many years.
My wife wanted to watch a good show, and I told her "I know an old tv show about a nerd spy"... and now we are looking for Chuk's and Sarah's costumes for halloween 🎉🎉
I found this show randomly on Amazon when the virus hit and me and my wife were HOOKED. Just the way it didn't take itself too serious and it was very well balanced with the humor and the seriousness of it all. Great chemistry with everyone. I might rewatch it again since I finished it almost 4 months ago lol
I cannot express how many times I rewatch this show just for comfort. I genuinely laugh out loud for the funny bits and shed tears when it’s sad. My family and I watched this show when it was on the air and it was just one of the best shows for us to watch as a family because it fit the description of what we all wanted to watch. I still quote jokes from the show today. Hands down my all time favorite show
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.
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!!!
You are not alone.
I found Chuck the same way as you.. I watched every episode more than once!! Hated to see it go!!
There are two types of people 😅
1. Look it's Shazam
2. Chuck 😍🥰
Love to see that Chuck isn't restricted to young fans.
I'll rewatch it as well in the near future. Great show and a very satisfying finale. Loved Chuck but my favorite character was Morgan (or merely "Grimes" as his grumpy superior called him). The casting was very serious about chemistry in general and it showed.
I am 55 and discovered Chuck last summer thanks to Amazon r ecommending it after watching Psych again... What a great show! I love Zac Levi and this ca st was so good
Criminally underrated, I always recommend it to everyone I can.
The dynamic friendship between Morgan and Chuck is my absolute favorite part of this already fantastic series. And watching his interactions throughout the series is so beautiful and cute.
Yup that was the best part for me too.
Chuck is easily my favourite show of all time. I watch it every year and im currently on my 12th viewing. 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.
Chuck is one of the best shows I've ever seen! And the soundtrack is amazing too
This video is a Underrated classic, deserves +1million views
Congratulations, you just made my day
The funny thing is I'm pretty sure subway saved the show from ending early, at least that's what i heard, so it's worth the advertisements IMO plus its just adds to this charm of how goofy this show can be
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.
My favorite show of all time, and it is both underrated and a classic
My favorite show of all time. Love all the hidden gems in it. Like "move it along Chewie" Chucks mom doing pullups in prison cell (very Terminator. Played by same actress), "if you like that Superman type" haha, christmas episode/Die Hard, so many more..... All the cameos (my wife is like omg who hasn't been on Chuck when I point them out years later) The music. JEFFSTER!!!!!!
Here in Australia this show barely made any noise when it aired. I only found it because someone I follow on Twitter recommended it because of the Chuck/Sarah relationship after I said how much I love Jake and Amy on Brooklyn 99. I binged it so fast and loved every second! It is honestly one of the best shows and I’m obsessed. No one I know has even heard of it!
Update on the end of this video: As of February 2022, Chuck is on HBO MAX in the US, not Amazon Prime.
I just finished this show and I love it
Still on Amazon Prime in Australia. Just binged it. Fantastic show!
No! It still is on prime at least here in Germany/Europe
Sadly it's not on Prime in Australia anymore.
In the UK, Chuck has just been put on ITV Hub too!
I binged it in a week and this was the best show ever.
My favorite thing about Chuck? The characters, as a whole. The way that they are these amazingly complex and structured people you believe exist in this world they created. Even to the side characters and guest stars, they all are never 2D unless they are making them out to be this joke of a person. I miss Chuck every day of my life and I hope we get that movie someday.
I’m with you dude. Chuck is by far my favorite show, ever. And I’m 48 years old. That’s a lot of shows over the years. The chemistry between the actors is second to none. And the love story is incredible. I’ve watched this show from start to finish several times now and am in season 4 of my current watch. It even turned me into reading stories about the show on fan fiction. I know, that’s almost sad. 😁. Not sure I’ll find another show I enjoy so much.
wish this would hit the algorithm cause i literally had to search for this
You and me both
Me too
It popped up on recommendations for me. I do look at a bunch of Chuck videos though.
@@ljlinthecasa2633 good to know its being recommended now even if just to chuck fans
So many years after it's still my favorite. It makes me feel all the same things I used to feel when I was a teenager
I love Chuck! I started watching the show when it first came on, all the way to the end and I've watched it several times over the years. The characters are so iconic to me. Chuck and Sarah's relationship may be my favorite thing about the show.
Absolute masterpiece. Simply perfection. Genius comedy, amazing cultural references, wholesome stories, brilliant characters, moving relationships, kick ass action.
I tear up every time I watch the scene where Chuck asks, "Sarah, do you love me?"
Right there with you man, one of my favorite scenes for sure
@@thepremisevideoessays Yes! Sometime between fixing her phone and disarming a bomb with porn! So the first episode! He charmed her early!
Only show/movie that made me shed a tear in the end
The last episode hurt bad
Chuck is the GOAT. I've seen tons of different TV shows and nothing comes close to this imperfect masterpiece. The Chuck & Sarah arc development is just done so well you'll fall in love with the characters. After writing this I realize I probably should rewatch it
Superb video. I didn't discover Chuck until September 2017 and it is my #1 show. I tell everyone I can about it.
The relationship between Chuck and Sarah was so convincing. When she told Chuck to take off his watch because they needed to run to avoid Chuck being sent to a CIA safe house, was so great. She was willing to sacrifice her career, which was her life, for him.
I loved everything about Chuck! Spies, Sarah, the action, Sarah, the comedy and Sarah are just a few of my favourite parts, not to mention all the movie and game references in it, as well as the music throughout the series!
How have we survived without fan pandering slo mo entrances of Sarah Walker? That valentines episode with Sarah in the red outfit with pop out angel wings still gets me every time! Hot and hilarious!
OMG, a youtuber who loves Chuck and takes the time to make a video essay about it?! INSTANT SUB!! 😃🤩🤩
"Chuck" is absolutely one of my favorite shows.
It was often silly, but never stupid--a tough line to walk in TV, sometimes. But everything about it just made it amazing, and even the silly moments often led up to more serious ones.
Loved this video, it reminded me why I love Chuck so much. I always loved how much Chuck himself was a protagonist who was so earnestly kind and open. He always wanted to support his friends and would drop anything to do it, to a fault sometimes. He fights with kindness instead of with violence.
Agree! I love Chuck. It's so creative how they parallel the stories of his work life with his spy life.
"this has been my favorite show since i was 10" ME TOO!!! It was the first "adult" show i ever watched (I started mid-season 2), and I very quickly fell in love with it :) I love that plot is driven by the characters, and the dynamic between Casey/Morgan, esp in the later seasons was so great! Also, whenever I see a wine bottle, my brain almost always go "the stable on the label with a stork on the cork" ikykyk ;) Thank you for making this video- now i can send it to all my friends to make them watch it...
the comments reminded me of Timothy Dalton- my absolute FAVORITE guest star!! (one thing you *maybe* could've mentioned was the plethora of guest stars that showed up week to week!) :D Great video !!
Great vid! Love the point about the character arcs being more memorable than the episodes it's pretty true.
Not to say the episodes arent all very fun to watch
Thank you, appreciate the support!
The show is quite simply, awesome. The chemistry between the characters is excellent. I love the music they use to enhance the overall emotional effect. There are just so many great moments. One of my favorites is Jeffster singing Mr. Roboto at Eli and Awesome‘s wedding.
To me, one of the funniest moments of all time on ANY show was when Jeffster started performing, "Push It!" at the hospital while Ellie was having her baby. 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.
That was BRILLIANT!
Probably the most underrated show in tv history. Chuck is incredible and one of my favorite shows ever. The writing is brilliant, the side missions and characters are hilarious, awesome fight scenes, a great touch of mainly 80’s music, and lovable characters all around
Just finished re-watching it, after watching the table read during the pandemic. An an OG fan, this show STILL has heart and I love it even more.
Thanks for uploading this and big thanks to everyone that worked on Chuck!
Awesome video. My favorite part about Chuck is how relatable the characters are.
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'm with you, whenever I need a pick-me-up, I pop on a random Chuck episode and it does the trick more often than even I expect. Thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing!
You nailed that emotional response..."as if I have lived these 5 years instead of Chuck"... feels like I lived it!"
I never saw Chuck when it was airing opposite Monday Night Football. I can honestly say it is the ONLY show ever that I have watched all five seasons at least six times. Yes it is that good.
well if you like football try watching friday night lights
@@andreharris144 I have seen the movie and the Series. Liked them both! Thanks!
Rewatched Chuck in quarantine and made it to the end- soooo underrated and definitely one of my favorites!
The love story is what got me. How in depth the cast is and how all the characters compliment each other so well. I don't think I've ever seen a show like this. Wow.
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 :)
Quick correction: If you want to skip past the discussion on "Chuck Versus the Marlin", skip to 7:50 instead of 7:45
Hii. Ive lately watched Chuck because it was my favourite series when I was younger and the memories started to faid. I wasn't really happy with the ending so I went and did some homework.
I was wondering is there a way we can get people so that we can convince the movie industrie to make a Chuck movie after there have been rumors about it?
Awesome content man, I can't believe how many people never heard of this piece of gold, I love this show and all of it's charachters with all of my heart, watched it for like 5 times...
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...
Eai também sou brasileiro, descobri esse show quando saiu o filme do shazam e fui ver sobre o Zach Levi. Eu nunca gostei de romance em filmes e esse tipo de coisas, mas com essa serie eu passei a me importar com os relacionamentos num nível que até atrapalha as outras coisas na minha vida kkk. Virou minha série favorita e estou querendo assistir pela terceira vez já
@@datswhatshesaid498 a série é perfeita porque é humana demais mano, tem tudo, comédia, romance, ação
@@datswhatshesaid498 "mas com essa serie eu passei a me importar com os relacionamentos num nível que até atrapalha as outras coisas na minha vida kkk" essa é a mesma forma que me sinto kkkk, Chuck é uma série incrível, e ainda estou na torcida para o filme, principalmente para tirar o gosto amargo que tenho do final.
Today I saw a tweet , which said name a tv series you think via underrated. I said chuck . I saw this back when I was young but it is one of the most memorable series I have ever watched. It does hold something special to it.
Chuck is so perfect it’s the exact mix everyone needs the family friendly to the spy aspect
As a non-American Chuck is the reason I noticed subway existed and got hooked on them oddly enough! Miss this show so much
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."
Amazing show! I made my friends watch it and they are hooked. They are currently on season 4. Now they understand why I always talk about the show : )
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.
Subway in the show is because multiple fan campaigns buying sandwiches saved the show from cancellations multiple times . Zac even led fans from their comic con panel to subway !
My favourite thing about the show is the "that could be me" feeling :)
I can't begin to describe how much this show means to me and how much it has impacted my life. Thank you for this video, man.
I remember watching this show all the time with my family as a kid (and by as a kid, I truly mean as a kid. I was 9 when the show ended). 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 is criminally under rated, I love how it’s humor is almost self aware
Chuck is great and yet, so under appreciated!
Watched this way back and just sunscribed to Amazon just to rewatch it again. Always love the Chuck Casey dynamic
Starting watching this show in middle school and I’m in college still watching it. It’s taught me a lot of lessons without me really even realizing it. Also the music >
Excellent commentary about a great show!! Well done!! I was one of those who didn’t find Chuck until Jan/Feb 2019🤦♀️. When I saw the first episode, I was hooked and have not stopped watching it. I can’t begin to give you a number of how many rewatches I’ve done. It’s a fantastic show with great characters, acting, writing, and stars. I would love to see a Chuck movie someday. Seeing these characters together again would be a dream come true. Until then, I’ll continue to watch the 91 episodes again. 🤗❤️
One of if not my favorite show of all time. My 16 year old son and I binge shows together. 2 episodes of chuck and hes hooked.
I’m 9 up to season 2 episode 3😊
the first thing I said after I finished watching Chuck is: why did it took me so long to watch this? it truly is an amazing show that more people should watch
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!
Chuck is still my favorite show. After a few years, I'd finally convinced my fiance(gf at the time) to try it. I went home, I think next day she was on Season 3.
Her and I crying together to this incredible show, something that never seems to happen anymore. Chuck had so much passion. The characters were the best. I still often go back and rewatch it while eating Subway and playing Halo.
Oh, and Big Mike for Subway Spokesman. Make it so.
I love love love Chuck, and this is a great intro to it--thank you for all your work. Just one small criticism: you didn't mention Morgan! His friendship with Chuck + his wordplay make him one of my favorite characters!
Chuck music soundtracks are some of the awesome choices! And definitely low-key on of the most underrated tv series. I just wish it could have last 3 or more seasons. Looking forward to see it in the big screen
Seen the entire show 3 times, absolutely my fav show by a mile, gonna watch it again soon
i watched chuck back in 2013 or 14 and then i started watching it again with my friends in like 2015 or 16, but then it got taken off of netflix i'm glad i got to watch it though because its just such a good show and i cant believe more people aren't talking about it
Devon and Ellie's relationship is one of my favourite things about the show.(Amongst so many others😅). It's not rocky and upsetting for the sake of it. If they have problems they figure it out and make it work. Two people who love eachother. Two beautiful people, if I might add (Ellie is a smoke show and an angel all in one😅).
Chuck is absolutely the best love story that Hollywood has done in the last 70 years, brilliantly hidden in the guise of a goofy, impossible spy tale.
I do recommend Fitzsimmons too though
@@gracebrown3074 funny you say that because there are a few similarities between fitz and chuck
@@gracebrown3074 From what show is this? Cause im dying to see more similar shows like this.
@@jesse9710 Oh thanks for asking I love sharing this other show. It’s Agents of Shield. It’s doesn’t have quite the same level of humour as chuck but it does have all the spy shenanigans.
I will put out the first season can be a bit slow. But it’s definitely worth it, you’ll thank yourself when you’ve watched it!
this is my FAVORITE show. I am sure I have seen every episode more than 20 times. I have the DVD's and enjoy even the deleted scenes and other narratives. Thank you so much for making this video. I have shared on FB and hope more people watch it. I am still hoping for a Chuck movie, but I would love even more about 20 more seasons of Chuck!!!!
Great video! I've watched "Chuck" since the first episode and it was the reason why I got a job at Best Buy right out of High School...haha The best part of the show for me is Chuck and Sarah's relationship. I love the final scene also, even though many fans hate it.
my fiance convinced me to sit down and watch this show with him 2 years ago. two days ago, we finally reached the end after restarting 2-3 times. it is beyond my favorite show on the planet, and i've begun attempting to get every single person i know to watch it. there's not a single bad episode, and the jokes never miss. even 10 yrs later
Let me just say this, one of the many things i loved about the show was how good it made me feel. Yes, the last season was sad but finishing the show was like saying goodbye to an amazing friend. Thank God for streaming services 😅
I’m glad this show is getting recognized it’s been my favorite show for so long, so underrated
My favorite show ever!! Started watching it in my early teens and even til this day not one show can compare to it. I really hope it blows up one day like these overrated ones and thank you for making a video about it!! ☺️❤️
The best tv show I have ever watched. The Cast became my family.
This show is one of my favourites and i am so sad that none of my friends have watched it:(
Chuck has everything I want in a TV show : Action, humor and romance. And those three are just perfectly mixed. But like you say, Chuck is all about the characters, and those are awesome, like Devon would say.
I discovered it accidentally, after watching Dexter New blood and being very frustrated that Annah, Yvonne Strahovsky's character didn't reappear. So I searched for other shows she had performed in and found Chuck a month or so ago. Just watched the finale today... Such a perfect ending to a great show I definitely rank in my top 5!
Great breakdown of the show. I watched it when it originally aired, I was in my late 20s. I only bring up my age because you did and, it shows how well this show worked for multiple demographics. 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!
That's awesome! So is it the first time your daughters have seen the show then?
@@thepremisevideoessays yes it is! They love how it involves so many genres in one show. Action, romance, comedy, suspense... not a lot of shows have been able to pull that off so seamlessly.
Chuck is perhaps one of the nerdiest shows out there, so many nerd in-jokes from so many different nerd subgenres (comics, old school films, 70s and 80s films, video games, music, table top games) that it is unbelievable, while the dialogues are so natural and unstilted that so much just goes over your head the first time you view it. The cast is just... so perfect, I smiled when I first saw Brandon Rough, then again when I saw Scott Bakula, and then again when I saw Linda Hamilton, then again when I saw Timothy Dalton, then again when I saw Chevy Chase...
That being said: the show gets better every times you view it again as a whole, something so few shows accomplish.
i just finished rewatching it man cried like a baby the ending still destroys read some comments and feel a bit better and im trying to convince my heart thaat sarah gets her memories back show will always have a special place in my heart
So true, Rivers and Roads on my playlist....I can hear Sara telling Chuck "Tell me our story..."
@@ThePJ2PA i dont listen to that it just makes me depressed man im convinced she gets her memories back nothing will change my mind
Def!! An underrated show! Also fell deeply in love with Sarah! 😍
Yeah it's true love
Chuck is awesome. You're so right, totally underrated. I've seen all seasons twice...maybe its time to watch it a third time
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.
Loved this show since I was a kid. So glad to see Levi getting his due nowadays.
Chuck gave me the feeling and believe that the normal guy could defeat the odds and win the heart of his faithful. And after watching the final episode I truly believe that he did. Almost in a reverse "remembering Sunday" fairytale
Rewatching it for the 50th time and love it just the same
thanks for making this video! it's also my favourite series since i was 10 years old :)
I still watch it regularly because it makes me feel so good
Binge watched when it was on Netflix. Before watching it, I passed it up for months. Once I started watching, it was hard to stop.
Very entertaining show. Loved watching it with my wife. Very underrated.
My all time favorite show indeed ❤️🩹
I have watched this show since it released {I was 12-13) and I am proud to say that this show is still one of my favorite shows of all time. I love everything in the show, the characters, the music, the action, Chuck and Sarah relationship but what I love the most is Chuck development in the show. I always try to make friends watch this amazing show!
When I first heard about "Chuck", before it originally aired, I thought it would be an updated version of "Johnny Mnemonic" so paid it no attention. Once it was on TV a friend kept raving about it and burned a copy of season one for me. I watched it, fell in love with it and think it's one of the best shows . . . EVER! I have several prop replicas, including the Atlas Globe with the arrow through it seen behind General Beckman, and two costumes (a green shirt and a nerd herd member).
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.
