 an absolutely awesome show...keep Chuck on air!!! Apr 15, 2010
By E. Amador
"jerrycurlgee"
i found out about Chuck through mindlessly trauling through the tv shows available in itunes australia. i read a couple of the reviews, took a punt with my hard earned 3 bob & bought the 1st 3 episodes including the pilot. i don't buy dvds of tv shows but i made an exception with Chuck after watching said 3 episodes & have not regretted it in the slightest, especially as you need to have cable to watch Chuck here in sydney.
put simply, it is the best bloody thing on the box & i watch a lot of box. my reasons are threefold: great ensemble cast who play well thought out characters, superb story lines with just enough plot twists to keep viewers on the edge of their seats but not alienate new fans &, above all, the perfect combination of action, drama & comedy. yes, folks, i've turned into a Chuckoholic...it's just that good.
i've had to make do with watching season 3 on-line like many fans outside the US & can happily say the show's producers, josh schwartz & chris fedak, have taken it to a new level. all our favourites are back along with some new ones, both good & evil or possibly both.
i just hope nbc give them the thumbs up for a 4th season. if not, i'll happily don my 'save chuck' singlet all over again...

Chuck versus The Catch-22... Apr 18, 2010
By D. S. Thurlow
In its superb third season, "Chuck" continues its highly entertaining blend of drama, comedy, and romance. At Season Two's end, nice guy computer nerd and CIA asset Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) uploaded into his own brain a new, improved Intersect which not only restored his ability to "flash" on espionage information, it also provided access to new skills. As he told his CIA handler Sara Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) and her NSA partner John Casey (Adam Baldwin) at the time, "Guys, I know Kung Fu."
In Season Three, Chuck, no longer an accidental tourist in the espionage world, embarks on a bumpy, uncertain journey to becoming a full-fledged spy. This journey involves a painful Catch-22. Chuck must succeed in becoming a spy to stay close to Sara Walker, his erstwhile bodyguard and romantic interest, but each step towards spyhood seems to take him further away from the decent, honest guy that Sara secretly cherishes.
At the beginning of Season Three, Chuck makes two critical mistakes: He disappoints Sara and he flunks spy school. In search of second chances, Chuck must accept tutoring from the experienced, ruthless CIA agent Daniel Shaw (Brandon Routh in an extended guest role), a man with questionable intentions toward both Chuck and Sara. Chuck will also suffer hilarious difficulties in keeping his real and spy lives separate. New brother-in-law "Captain Awesome", best friend Morgan, and Chuck's co-workers at the BuyMore become entangled in spy plots, while Team Bartokowski members Sara Walker and John Casey experience some surprising personal and professional challenges.
Season Three was originally programmed for thirteen episodes before being extended to nineteen. Lucky "Chuck" fans will thus be treated to two excellent season finales. In the first, Chuck will resolve his conflicts with Shaw and with Sara. In the second, Chuck's spy life will collide with his family life in a game-changing way.
"Chuck: The Complete Third Season" is most highly recommended to fans of the series.

A fantastic series! May 14, 2010
By Nicole D.
I just discovered Chuck during Season 3 and since then I've been completely in love with the series. I immediately ordered seasons 1 and 2 on DVD so I could catch up on all the backstory and have watched both seasons multiple times since receiving the DVDs. The finale of Season 2 made for a great start to season 3 and it has been sheer brilliance from there. Some of my absolute favorite episodes in the entire series have been in Season 3 (such as Chuck vs. The Other Guy and Chuck vs. The Honeymooners). The writers and actors are of equal brilliance in this show - it comes together perfectly with an amazing blend of drama, comedy and romance. I am so excited to see what the final few episodes of Season 3 will bring and, of course, I can't wait for Season 4 to begin. I would (and have!) recommend this series... and this season... to anyone and everyone! You won't be sorry. Enjoy!

Chuck with a "BANG!!!" May 25, 2010
By Marsanik Lapp
Josh Schwartz & Chris Fedak do not disappoint anyone in this season either, as the finally of 2 hours hit on TV tonight I can only say they leave a HUGE loose end but do it in such a way as like "slipping down the rabbit hole boys and girls!" It was an excellent season as all the prior ones and there has not ever been a series created with the humor and action as this series (I have never seen one like this remotely and is miles different then something like LaFemme Nakita), it truly is unique and puts you in the greatest moods after you watch the show. Shaw is an issue during the ENTIRE season all the way through, Scott Baccula's character of Chuck's dad (he did an excellent job too as always) leaves the biggest mystery in the end of the finale and his character ends up giving you a "JOLT" with what he goes through and unleashes upon Chuck. Chuck must step up to the plate to protect his loved ones and do something deeper in the very end as he also progresses through the series and as far as protecting family, ironically so does John Casey (Adam Baldwin). The general's character even has a few bumps more than usual in the finale and everyone is left in a forced situation of change. It leaves the staff of the Buy More in a real "BANG for the BUCK" so to speak, and literally leaves them in uncertain unstable "explosive" situations as well. That is all I will say. They did an excellent job with romance, action, and humor, it has been a fun ride.

Chuck Continues to Impress Jun 05, 2010
By SunDevil03
I became a Chuck addict after the first couple episodes of the first season. Chuck is well known for having relatable and loveable characters. This makes it almost too easy for the writers to not only keep us laughing, but at times to keep us on the edges of our seats.
I found Season 3 to be a little less playful than the first and second seasons, but that isn't a downside by any means. I enjoyed the direction the writers took the show. There were a couple elements of Seasons 1 and 2 that I found to be a bit repetitive that they changed in Season 3... and for the better I may add! I'll let you discover what those elements are for yourself!
This show continues to introduce situations that (relatively) we can all relate to in one way or another.
Terrific show. Terrific writing. Terrific cast. Great humor! Great plot! Great season!
Buy this season! You won't be dissapointed!
