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.

Chuck is like Marmite.....you either love it or hate it. I LOVE IT!

A lot of people who watch Chuck forget that they are watching a action/comedy. The people who think that its supposed to be solely comedy will be disappointed because they think they're supposed to be laughing the whole time. These people aren't the fans....

People who get offended by its portrayal of its action/sci-fi side are offended because it doesn't thrill them like most shows like Dexter or Supernatural do. Its not supposed to do that either. These people aren't the fans....

People who are able to see the key factor of this show.... the simple care-free enjoyment that puts a smile on your face when they watch chuck. Who can see behind the unrealistic plot and cliché characters to the amazing morals and ethics that only this type of show can have. People who can just sit back and indulge in the charming epicness of Chuck. These people ARE the fans!

And i am one of them.

If you are a rationalist, don't watch......ever.

But if you have an open-mind and have even a hint of empathy then this is the show for YOU
