Tonight sees the end of Chuck, a quirky show that never seemed to connected with the mainstream, but managed to carve out enough of a fan base to stay alive for an impressive five season run.

The Friday night time slot the show has inhabited is often referred to as the ‘Firday Night Death Slot’, a moniker that has made sense this season as it has been no secret this would be Chuck‘s last season.  That said, death is not always a sorrowful event, sometimes it can be a celebration. A celebration of the life of a show that against most odds lived long enough to give its fans a satisfying run.

Check out a whole slew of videos clips in anticipation on tonight’s finale. In the first few videos you get series stars Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, and Joshua Gomez remembering the show, thanking the fans and saying goodbye to the show.

Following those we have several clips from tonight’s finale to get you all jazzed for the, hopefully, fond farewell to one of our favorite nerd/super spies.

Well, here we are, a couple of episodes into the final season of Chuck. I predict this season there will be a lot of Subway sandwiches eaten, a choice Jeffster performance, and a plethora of geeky references. The training wheels are off, as Chuck has lost the intersect and Morgan is the new ace in the hole. The spy in tennis shoes and his team of rogue spies aren’t out for the count yet, though.

Read on, as the cast gives some parting words on their super secret missions on the mean streets of Burbank.

The Flickast: Chuck’s brother-in-law, Devon, has the nickname “Captain Awesome”. On a scale of 1 to 10, how awesome are you?

Ryan McPartlin: 10 being the most awesome? We have to clarify. (TF: Yes, 10 being the most awesome). It depends on what we’re talking about, like I feel I’m a really awesome dad and husband, so I’m a 10 at that area. But, there’s a lot of things that I can’t dedicate my time to that I think I could be really awesome at, like for instance, golf.

TF: What does Casey think of teaching the spy tricks of the trade all over again, this time to Morgan?

UPDATE: Now its official. Chuck will get 13 episodes next season and it will be the show’s last.

Although this news isn’t 100% confirmed by an “official” announcement from NBC, there’s multiple sources confirming that everyone’s favorite nerd/spy Chuck is getting another season on the newtork. That’s right Chuck fans, it looks like the intersect has dodged the cancellation bullet once again and will be back next year with more new episodes for season five.

Like with its previous renewals, it looks like NBC will be giving the nerd spy series thirteen episodes for season five with the option to add more if the show does well enough. As you may recall, Chuck pretty much made a career of living “on-the-bubble,” with cast, crew and fans never sure if NBC will give the show a full season, or if it will get a new season at all.

The show’s renewal this time seems especially amazing considering the rather low ratings it has had over the last weeks, down from even its normal mediocre levels. But with all the fan support, other series being cancelled and lots of other unknown variables, it makes sense that NBC would give the green light to a show that’s a consistant performer with a loyal fan base and reasonable cost to produce.

Whatever the reasons, we’re happy the show is coming back. How about you guys, are you happy Chuck is getting another season? Or, is it time for the show to exit gracefully?

Hard to believe that Chuck has been on NBC’s chopping block more than once. The show was on the verge of being cancelled after both season 2 and season 3, but now it’s back and better than ever with a fourth season and even plans for a fifth. This season has already seen the likes of Dolph Lundgren, Robert Englund, and Eric Roberts. Now a former film spy is joining in the action. From NBC.

After their first real fight, Chuck (Zachary Levi) avoids confronting Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) by going on a rogue mission that leads him to his mom’s MI-6 handler, Gregory Tuttle (guest star Timothy Dalton), and a mysterious Russian agent (guest star Ana Gasteyer). Meanwhile, Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) is on her own mission to uncover the Bartowski family’s long-buried past.

We’ve got three clips from tonight’s episode, that even feature Saturday Night Live veteran Ana Gasteyer. Be sure to check them out after the jump and catch Chuck Vs. The First Fight tonight on at 8pm ET on NBC.

We often bring you previews of current and upcoming TV programs and today is no exception. Some of these shows are brand new for the Fall and some, in the case of Chuck, are not new but returning and we’ve already covered them quite a bit before.

Today, we’ve got previews for The Event, Chase, Undercovers and, as I said, Chuck. For The Event Nick Wauters has three videos from his production diary which give you access to the set and series star Jason Ritter. Next up on Chase stars Kelli Giddish, Cole Hauser, Amaury Nolasco, Jesse Metcalfe and Rose Collins talk about the action-packed series.

For Undercovers we’ve got interviews with cast members Mekia Cox and Carter MacIntyre who talk about their characters and what the atmosphere is like on set. Last, but certainly not least, we’ve got a Chuck video where the cast and crew discuss the “bromance” between Chuck and his pal Morgan.

Check out all the videos after, of course, the jump. Look for all of these shows this Fall.

Last year, we got the chance to catch up with one of the two funniest guys at Comic-Con, as Zach Levi and Joshua Gomez were in attendance prepping for the third season of Chuck. Due to an overwhelming response from the fans, and the huge support from Subway, the show was greanted another season, and is coming back again this Fall.

We got the chance to catch up once again with the cast, and most importantly, Chuck Bartowski himself, Zach Levi, at this year’s Con. Both he and his on-screen BFF, Josh Gomez, were pretty excited as we discussed the addition of Terminator’s Linda Hamilton to the cast as Chuck and Ellie’s mother.

Check out our interview with Zach after the jump, and be sure to keep it here for more news straight from Comic-Con 2010, and even some exclusive interviews with the rest of the cast of Chuck.

Fortunately, one of our favorite shows will be coming back next year so tonight’s two-hour season finale of Chuck isn’t all that sad. Well, at least the fact that the series is having a season finale isn’t sad. The episode itself? Perhaps.

To get you in the mood for tonight, we’ve got not one, but two clips about the show. In them, you get to see stars Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski discuss the finale and the super-secret ending that will surely turn everything in Chuck world upside down. Then, check out all the action in a clip from the actual episode and marvel at how the show’s creative team make it look so good after having their budget cut for this season.

All the action kicks off tonight at 8/7C on NBC. Until then, check out both clips after the jump.

If you’ve felt something was missing from your Monday nights you’re in luck because Chuck returns tonight with an all new episode. To commemorate this great event, we’ve got a preview and another cool video for tonight’s episode to share with you right now, courtesy of our friends at NBC.

Up first, Chuck and Sarah are back and working as a couple in Europe with Morgan and Casey following close behind. Of course, as you might guess, Morgan and Casey don’t stay in the shadows for long once the bullets and fists start flying.

Next, a terrific video in the form of a “Hart-felt Homage” where Morgan pays tribute to Chuck and Sarah in the vein of classic spy stories. It’s pretty clever and sorta makes me nostalgic for those first episodes of Chuck and how it all began.

Check out all the action when Chuck returns tonight at 8/7C on NBC. Until then, be sure to check out both of these great videos after the jump.

Okay Chuck fans, tonight’s episode will be a big one. Things have been heating up between Shaw and Sarah but she’s also realized she still has feelings for Chuck so in this episode it’s decision time.

Of course, thanks to our friends at NBC, we’ve got a preview of tomight’s episode for you right here. What will Sarah do? Will she choose Shaw and a life of adventure in Washington, DC? Or, will she give in to her true feelings and choose choose Chuck?

For us its an easy decision: Chuck’s the man. However, for her the choices is a much more difficult one. No matter what happens, tonight’s episode promises to be one you’re going to remember. Plus, while Sarah is making up her mind, Chuck also goes out and kicks some but, which is always fun.

Check out the preview for tonight’s episode after the jump. Chuck airs tonight at 8/7C on NBC.

Even though today is Monday and nobody really likes Monday, at least one good thing is happening tonight: Chuck returns with a brand new episode. After some time off, everyone’s favorite reluctant yet determined spy returns and we’ve got the promo video to prove it.

But wait, that’s not all. The video is not just a promo for tonight’s episode, it also gives us a lot of stuff about what we can expect from the second half of season 3. This includes guns, explosions, back flips, romance, action and, apparently, teeth pulling. Yeah, I don’t quite get that last one either.

Still, with Chuck being one of the few “geek” shows left on the air, it’s nice to see it coming back strong for the rest of the season. Hopefully, things will continue to go well for the show and we’ll get a season 4.

Check out the video after the break. Chuck airs tonight at 8/7 C on NBC.
