Chuck Returns; How I Met Your Mother 100th

Ahh, 10 days into the new year and the TV schedule is already filling up. First, the third season of Chuck returns on NBC on Sunday, January 10th, with a special 2-Hour event starting at 9/8c. Then, the series will return to its normal, regular timeslot of Mondays at 8/7c on January 11th. For those who’ve watched the show (or at least checked the last few eps last season), know that Chuck has been upgraded with the Intersect 2.0, which does more than just causes him to flash for intel when triggered (either by the face of a spy or even a top secret device), now, in a given situation where he needs to act fast, he’ll flash for a useful skill. As seen in the second season finale, he and Sarah and Casey were in a little tight situation, so he flashed on kung-fu skills, and boom, he knew kung-fu. Previews show him flashing on complete languages and even getting mad guitar skills. It’ll sure be a fun and interesting development for our favorite little spy that could. Check out the preview trailer for the upcoming 3rd season:

Also, Sunday night sees the 450th episode of The Simpsons plus a 20th Anniversary special, starting at 8/7c, on FOX.

FOX, has decided to bring House back from winter hiatus a little early (those pesky devils), going up against the new Chuck as well as How I ‘s milestone 100th episode. And what a special episode it’ll be. First, Barney has to choose between wearing a suit or dating a girl, which leads to an awesome musical number involving 75 people dressed in suits. Second, a clue to the mysterious ‘Mother,’ as in, who she might be. CBS.com is lovely and nice enough to have a 2-min clip of a behind the scenes look:

How I Met Your Mother – ‘Girls vs Suits’ airs Monday, Jan. 11 at 8/7c on CBS.

And let’s not forget the rest of Monday night, with new Heroes after Chuck (I don’t care what anyone says, I still see good in it), a special night for Fringe on FOX after House (guess they want to see if Fringe can get some better ratings with a more higher-rated lead-in, like it did last year, also when it wasn’t against 2 mega-ratings dramas), and a new Castle on ABC at 10/9c with special guest Alyssa Milano (Charmed).

Phew, that’s just the next two days. The week will also see Bones back from hiatus (note, their 100th is currently scheduled to air on April 8th [could change]). Next week, the CW will come back with their #1 lineup on Thursday with the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural, and Fridays are complete again (briefly) with the return of Smallville [sadly, Jan. 22 will also serve as the day Dollhouse is dismantled]. Also, see the return of USA Network’s #1 shows come back in full force, including new nights for White Collar (Tuesdays at 10pm, starting Jan 19) and Psych (Wednesdays at 10pm, Jan 20), and for those who watch [unfortunately, time didn’t allow[, Burn Notice remains on Thursdays (10pm though) on Jan 21. The CW will premiere a new series, Life Unexpected on Jan. 18 at 9/8c, starring Roswell alum Shiri Appleby, which I might give a shot. See when/if your favorites return this winter at the futon critic.

Chuck Vs NBC

Chuck Finale 'Chuck vs the Ring', from Sci-Fi Wire. NBC.

Chuck 'Chuck vs the Ring', from Sci-Fi Wire. NBC.

There will not be another post, no matter how important the news update is, until next Monday (May 4th or Tuesday the 5th, found two different dates, but the futon critic says 4th) when the NBC Upfronts take place, and we’ll know the fate of the truly AWESOME show.

I won’t go into too much detail on the finale (I’m sticking with just finale for now, until we know otherwise), since there are DVR user who may not have gotten to the episode yet (another reason why the current ratings system needs a complete overhaul, since advertisers don’t care for DVR viewings b/c of the magic fast-forward button), but let me way: WOW!.

First the struggle to get the wedding done with, as Ted Roark (come on, are you telling me Chevy Chase is not enough to help the ratings for this marvelous show?) is alive and will stop at nothing to have Chuck’s head on a stick (he may not have said it that way, but close enough). We had Scott Bakula back playing Chuck and Ellie’s father (who happens to be Orion also), and Devon’s (aka, Captatin Awesome) parents return (played by Morgan Fairchild and Bruce Boxleitner). And Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer), Chuck’s former friend-now semi-nemesis, returned as well.

All the spies, family and friends, gathered together to witness the union of Devon Woodcomb and Ellie Bartowski. Pure magic.

And with Chuck without the Intersect in his head, will he finally live a normal life. I don’t think it would be too spoilery to say, eh, not-so-fast Bartowski. The show may be on the bubble, but it had to go as if there will be a 3rd season, which means, the end, oh the end. Let’s just say, it ends with a bang and a BIG…to be continued.

But, if you want the rundown, SCI-FI WIRE has posted a nice little article to sum it up–> Did Chuck’s Finale Deliver? – SCI-FI WIRE.

And, in my opinion, it DELIVERED.

As far as saving Chuck, the campaign is to buy a $5 footlong at Subway, since they are one the major sponsors. Actually, enjoy this little video on Chuck himself, Zachary Levi, leading 400 conventioners (from the Starfury Convention to be exact) to a Subway, and even getting behind the counter to make the sandwiches himself:
