Trivia:
The movie Casablanca (1942) is referenced multiple times. At the end of "Chuck Verses the Nemesis" Bryce tells Sarah they "will always have Omaha". Chuck asks Casey if this is more that just a reference to Casablanca. At the end of "Chuck Verses the Undercover Lover", Chuck places his arm around Casey and quotes Rick's last line, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Chuck directly quotes the movie again in "Chuck Verses the Seduction" telling Sasha, "We'll always have Paris." It is also revealed in "Chuck Verses the Seduction" that Casablanca is Ellie's favorite movie.Also, John Casey's lover's name is Ilsa, the name of Casablanca's leading lady. more

The greatest American action comedy TV series, 10 November 2008
10/10
Author: Odd Henriksen from Norway

Chuck is in my opinion, beyond any doubt, the funniest and the overall most entertaining American TV series on the air in 2008.

I do however not believe it is amongst the most "universal" in regards to what target audience it's ideally suited for. While not having any demographic numbers or survey results to refer to, I honestly believe it has a greater appeal to men than to women, although I do know both female and male fans of the series.

Chuck is basically an interesting and hilarious blend of comedy and action. It does not imitate other series, and does not have a boring and stereotypical concept that you feel that you've seen dozens of times before. It's really a breath of fresh air in the ever-growing jungle of TV series, of which few are worth spending time watching - in my humble opinion.

The main character, Chuck, is a geeky, modest, conscientious and somewhat shy person who is suddenly faced with many challenges in his daily life, trying to keep together the different parts of his life at the same time. His field of expertise is fixing computers. Viewers who are passionate about technology will probably be especially likely to "get" the humor of this show.

The very most brilliant achievement of this series is the unique chemistry between the characters. No one take themselves too serious, the actors deliver great performance and consistence in every episode, and the characters' spontaneous reactions are often enough to cause great laughter. The only "serious" character I can think of (who is rarely funny - undoubtedly by intention) is Chuck's sister - Ellie. She contributes greatly to the "balance" mentioned below, and is in that respect an important character.

Furhermore the series' perfect balance between gripping action scenes, risibility and self-irony is quite remarkable. It's both pleasant, fun and thrilling at the same time! I hope Chuck will continue to be such a success for a long time and that the creators continue to develop the concept so that it does not "grow old" fast. I look forward to its release on DVD in a greater variety of countries! Quickly summarized: A hilarious series, in my opinion the greatest American action comedy TV series ever!
