Chuck, “Chuck Versus Phase Three”
Last week, I said that the nonsense with Rob Riggle and the sketchiness of how the Intersect wouldn’t totally be a loss if the makeshift part two of that story was effective and satisfying. Well, even though “Chuck Versus Phase Three” didn’t do a few of the things I hoped it would last night, it…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus The Fear of Death”
After a string of rock-solid episodes, “Chuck Versus the Fear of Death” feels more in-step with the earlier episodes of season four. Despite the episode’s attempts to keep the stakes high after the Mama Bartowski stuff from the last few efforts, the value of the plot movement found within “Fear of Death” won’t really be…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus The First Fight”
Of course, I after I complained about Chuck earlier this month, it’s rattled off three straight high-quality episodes that almost require me to comment in some fashion. However, in many ways, that’s a good thing. I want to talk about Chuck. I don’t want to avoid it here on TVS because it’s one of my…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Aisle of Terror”
If Chuck isn’t going to take many risks or strive for its season two levels of awesome, fine. I’m over it. I guess it’s just time to watch the series, enjoy it for what it is and move on. With that in mind, “Chuck Versus the Aisle of Terror” still feels like an improvement over…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus The Couch Lock”
I don’t have much to say about this week’s Chuck, but just a few tidbits. After I spent last week’s Chuck post talking about how I probably wouldn’t write-up the series too often in the future, the NBC spy comedy had to up its game in “Versus The Coach Lock.” Of course, if you’re Chuck…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus The Coup d’Etat”
I didn’t write about last week’s Chuck because I didn’t feel like I had much to say. This is perhaps weird considering so many people had strong (read: angry) reactions to the episode and its desire to create all sorts of neurotic drama between the supposed-to-be-happy Chuck and Sarah pairing. I wasn’t as offended by…

Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Suitcase”
Though I enjoyed last week’s Chuck premiere, there was some discussion Twitter about the series’ storytelling desires. After the premiere, Daniel Walters wrote a nice piece about what he’d do to improve the series, particularly when it comes to raised stakes and less formulaic cases that involve Chuck and Sarah infiltrating a party. I can’t…

Season Premiere — Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Anniversary”
Watching the Chuck season four premiere felt odd. After wanting that third season so badly and then having to wait until January to get it, the season three premiere felt much bigger and more anticipated. Having the series back so soon with relatively little fanfare (nearly every other series on Monday, returning or new, seemed…

2009-10 season wrap: Chuck
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be summarizing my thoughts on many of the series that ended just as the “official” television season came to a close recently. Overview: After much hubbub about whether or not it would actually return for a third season, Chuck did return and delivered an entertaining group of episodes. Thanks…
