The series is about an 'average computer-whiz-next-door' named, played by, who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working for the (CIA). The message embeds the only remaining copy of a software program containing the United States' greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain, leading the CIA and the NSA to assign him handlers and use him on top-secret missions. Produced by College Hill Pictures, and, the series premiered on September 24, 2007, on, airing on Monday nights at 8:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. As the second season finished, flagging ratings put Chuck in danger of cancellation, but fans mounted a successful campaign to encourage NBC to renew the show.
The campaign was unique in that fans specifically targeted a sponsor of the show, the, leading to the chain striking a major sponsorship deal with NBC to help cover costs of the third season. The series' renewal was uncertain in each subsequent season. The fifth season was the last, beginning on October 28, 2011, and moving to Friday nights at 8 p.m./7 Central. The series concluded on January 27, 2012, with a two-hour finale.
Chuck was prone to cancellation very frequently as seen with its broadcasting history, Schwartz believed that what did not allow Chuck to be the hit of the season was what kept the audiences watching, 'a mash-up of genres — from spy to sci-fi to romantic comedy — with a heart devoted to its characters and a soul steeped in 1980s summer-movie geek culture. Well, ’80s everything.' Main article: Season Episodes Originally aired First aired Last aired 13 September 24, 2007 ( 2007-09-24) January 24, 2008 ( 2008-01-24) 22 September 29, 2008 ( 2008-09-29) April 27, 2009 ( 2009-04-27) 19 January 10, 2010 ( 2010-01-10) May 24, 2010 ( 2010-05-24) 24 September 20, 2010 ( 2010-09-20) May 16, 2011 ( 2011-05-16) 13 October 28, 2011 ( 2011-10-28) January 27, 2012 ( 2012-01-27) is in his mid-twenties and works at Buy More, a, consumer-electronics chain store. He is an intelligent, but unmotivated, computer service expert and works alongside his best friend,. He had been expelled from on false charges that he cheated in one of his classes, which likely damaged his drive and morale. His sister, , and her boyfriend, , are doctors who constantly encourage Chuck to make progress in his professional and romantic life. Series summary , Chuck's former roommate and now a (CIA) agent, steals, the entire merged database of the CIA and (NSA), and destroys the computer storing it.
The sole surviving copy becomes subliminally embedded in Chuck's brain via encoded images when he opens an email from Bryce. The NSA's Major and CIA Agent are dispatched to investigate. Chuck is recruited to use the knowledge he now possesses to help thwart assassins and international terrorists, upending his previously mundane life.
The Intersect causes Chuck to receive involuntary of information from the database, activated by triggers such as faces, voices, objects, and keywords. In order to protect his family and friends, Chuck must keep his second occupation a secret. Casey and Walker are assigned to watch over Chuck. They are forced to establish an uneasy alliance and cover-identities. Walker poses as Chuck's girlfriend and takes a job at a fast food restaurant near the Buy More. Casey reluctantly becomes part of the Buy More sales team.
The main antagonists driving the plot are a series of rogue spy cabals, first internal to the United States intelligence community and then global in scope. A core part of the threat is the danger of the Intersect being either captured, making Chuck as much a liability as an asset to the government, or replicated, making Chuck obsolete or outmatched by less scrupulous spies. Chuck, Sarah, and Casey all face professional conflicts as they grow to respect each other. A genuine romantic interest develops between Chuck and Sarah.
Chuck's desire to maintain his close relationships and eventually return to a normal life is challenged by the dangers and growing responsibilities of his secret life, so that he gradually becomes a more competent, confident, and willing spy. In later seasons, upgrades to the Intersect would include skills in espionage as well as information (the reason the Intersect was originally conceived), giving Chuck temporary knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and other skills such as playing the guitar, using a zipline, foreign languages, dancing, and firearms training. In the course of events, Chuck unravels mysteries from his life before the series, often dealing with the Intersect, such as why his parents left, why Bryce got him kicked out of Stanford, and why he's unusually suited for the Intersect.
Meanwhile, Casey and Sarah confront unresolved issues from their lives before the series, including their families, Sarah's history with Bryce, and the spies they previously worked with. And as Chuck grows more comfortable with his own role, those closest to him are gradually drawn into his spy life. Cast and characters. The show is a mash-up. It's a combination of one part, one part, one part. When you mash those shows together, what happens? What we were really excited about is if you built the show like something like The Office, where you essentially met all these characters and you loved them, and then how terrifying it would be if or suddenly came into The Office, because you knew, when those people showed up, that someone was going to get shot, and someone was going to get tortured, and someone was going to get killed.
That's where the initial germ of the Chuck show came from. — Co-creator and wrote the script for the first episode, which was initially given a commitment by before a pilot order was green lit by the network in January 2007.
