Image Credit: Greg Gayne/NBCOkay, so Chuck‘s season 4 premiere didn’t break any ratings records last night. I’m disappointed, but I’m choosing to look on the bright side: The opener attracted a bigger audience than the season 3 finale—and it did so with virtually zero advance promotion. Yep, someone’s drinking from the glass that’s half full today. Anyhoo, for those of you who bailed on Monday’s episode, you not only missed one of the show’s most suspenseful, hilarious, and all-around super-fun episodes ever, you robbed yourself of a spoiltacular sneak peek at the rest of the season. Lucky for you, I just got my hands on the latter and I’m sharing it with you below. You can thank me in the comments section.
DVR. I will watch it.. just not when it’s first broadcast!
No don’t do that. help the ratings so this awesome show can stay around. Watch it live not on DVR or the computer the next day
I don’t think watching it live means anything unless you have a Nielsen box.
Watching it the next day on DVR is probably BETTER than watching it live if your not a Nielsen household. They track DVR viewings.
DVR tracking is also done by Nielsen. If you haven’t had them come and install equipment in your DVR, it’s not being tracked any more than your TV watching.
It’s probably best to watch it on NBC.com if you aren’t part of a Nielsen family.
Actually, the cable companies all do track have the ability to track with you DVR cable box. they may not be in the neilsen’s numbers, but they are still used, and a lot of networks look at them. So watch the show LIVE.
While watching live is tracked, DVR viewing is counted and noticed by networks and cable companies as long as it is viewed within 7 days of the air date. This is also true for Nielsen.
I do watch it when it 1st broadcasts (can’t wait), but if you’re not a Nielson family (those odd people who apparently like that dancing show I’ve never seen), how would they know?
Best first comment ever
Wow dude….. do you like being a d*** head for fun?
Were 2 episodes from the finale in the united kingdom, i rekon chuck has a huge cult following over here!!
We love Chuck here in the UK
They better NOT kill Casey off!
He opened his eyes at the last min. so he more than likely was just temporarily paralyzed. Maybe they’ll kill “John Casey” off and he’ll take on another identity and be free of the military and NSA ties and able to just be on Team Bartowski?
Maybe he did get killed off and morgan was just confessing to casey’s bodey and he imagined his reaction?
I’m thinking it was part of a mission for Casey to pretend to be dead. But I don’t know why Morgan would confess just then.
But, I agree with you, “if” AB’s character is killed off, I’m gone.
Casey steals the show! kill off beckman if anyone, but I love the whole team! Chuck fever!!!
I live in Brazil, so I can’t help with the rating.. :/ but Chuck is my favorite show nowadays.. thanks, Ausiello!
Yep, I live in South Korea, so I can’t help with the ratings, but I’m watching every week!
WHAT WHAT WHAT. I can’t believe I had to miss it! No thanks to grad school class during that time…
I can’t wait to see the encounter between Sarah and Mama Bartowski.
it’s already on NBC.com or hulu.com
Me too! Chuck just has to walk in on that one.
@Jerri dude chill he even has his eyes open..don’t know why they would fake his death but I have an idea =)
but yeah this was a freaking AWESOME premiere! loved it! looking forward to the next episodes!
Actually, it was an “Awesome-less” premiere, but…
I loved it anyway. Morgan was completely annoying, but at least there was no Jeffster this week.
In most cases, I would agree with you – I tend to find Morgan annoying, but last night I thought he was just the right touch of awed partner/friend and useful ally.
AT LEAST THERE WAS NO JEFFSTER?! THEY ARE AMAZING!
Oh dear Chuck&Co how I have missed you and your super awesomeness
Yay
oh yeah, Chuck me!!!!!
Thanks for the preview Michael. I thought that night’s episode was funny and was really impressed with the high quality guest stars and dramatic locations for the scenes.
“I must break you” – nuff said.
“if he dies, he dies!” – awesome.
The encounter between Sarah and Mama Bartowski worries me D:
Chuck is a running sore, running from himself and society…and yet his scab will heal us all.
You said the same thing about Olivia on FRINGE and it wasn’t amusing or intriguing then either.
Did anyone catch that Chuck’s interview was with Vandalay Industries last night? George Costanza shout-out!!!
I was SO hoping that Jason Alexander would be sitting on the other side of that desk! Loved it.
Yes, I noticed!! That had me cracking up.
I agree. I caught that and I cracked up. Loved Seinfeld too.
How great was it to see the original “Repo Man,” Harry Dean Stanton, taking the car? Awesome!
Yes!!!
Awesome, I laughed so much at that.
All he was missing was the music. Wb Harry Dean Stanton!
Love it. Sarah and Chuck forever ~ fingers crossed for a real proposal soon.
