Remote Access

I miss NBC's 'Chuck.' But will other viewers feel the same way this fall?

April

I miss NBC’s “Chuck.” Remember that fine show? Normal guy with government secrets embedded in his noggin, routinely saves the day with many a larf, but still can’t land his girl?

Memory still a little fuzzy? That’s why I’m worried.

By the time the dramedy returns to NBC this fall, I fear not enough people will miss it or, worse, even remember it. With other shows returning to the lineup in recent weeks, I fear it was a bad move to wait until the fall to bring back a show that was just barely finding its audience when the writers’ strike hit.

Future Best Supporing Actor nominee Adam Baldwin (pictured) deserves better. Because he’s so frickin’ awesome.

Need a quick “Chuck” fix? Watch Zachary Levi as Chuck and Joshua Gomez as Morgan—really just playing themselves—as they recap movie classics so you don’t actually have to watch fine cinema. Here’s part one and here’s part two. I’d embed the clips but Hulu, which often grants permission to do so, won’t let me.

Oh, and after the break are a couple of random photos of the lovely and talented Yvonne Strahovski with my own captions that may or may not accurately depict the scene. Because it’s been a while since she’s gotten some Remote Access play and, well, she’s hot.

“Hmm… this situation I’m observing looks like it’s headed for a violent turn. Better look tense and gorgeous, then strike.”

“There’s another Australian I know who has a line about a knife. And if Chuck crosses me, I’ll just have to make the same threatening observation.”

I miss CHUCK, too. So, I followed your advice and checked out the clips on hulu. And then watched a few more. Laughed a lot.
Did I mention that I really miss CHUCK?
