‘Chuck’Panel at Comic Con

By Liz • Jul 30th, 2007

I know the picture’s a little blurry folks, but isn’t it worth it to know how far the cast of NBC’s new pilot Chuck is willing to go to get you to love them? Stars Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez were not, in fact, reenacting the finer points of the Kama Sutra on stage. They [...]

Laura Saltman from Access Hollywood blogged her experiences at the TCA Press Tour, including these bits from interviewing the cast of Chuck:
12:45 The day picks up at least for my crew with Adam Baldwin from “Chuck”. Apparently, he was in “Full Metal Jacket” and they have some nice boy talk. Adam and I muse on [...]

In “The O.C.’s” Seth Cohen, writer-producer Josh Schwartz gave TV one of its most beloved nerds. Now that the Fox show is history, he’s hoping lightning will strike again with the equally smart, affable, geeky hero of NBC’s “Chuck,” an electronics salesman who, in time-honored TV fashion, becomes [...]

Zachary Levi, Winner Bee!

By Liz • Jul 18th, 2007

The Singing Bee should have no problem attracting an audience since everyone at the party stopped what they were doing and put their focus on the live presentation at shortly before 8:00, hosted by Joey Fatone. Two reporters joined FNL’s Scott Porter and Chuck’s Zachary Levi on stage to play the game.
Porter and a TCA [...]



‘Chuck’ Makes A Dork A Hero

By Mel • Jul 18th, 2007

Zachary Levi, star of the upcoming NBC series Chuck, told SCI FI Wire that the show celebrates nerd culture and will appeal to those who may be “cool-challenged,” a label he willingly applies to himself.
“Dork is definitely the new cool,” Levi said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, [...]



New shows: What’s up, ‘Chuck’? Nerd power, that’s what

By Liz • Jul 18th, 2007

Nerds and geeks rejoice, we’re cool — at least in Hollywood’s eyes, and at least this season. NBC’s new show “Chuck” is just one new drama featuring an unabashedly geeky character, who’s more familiar with pi than Prada, and plays more “World of Warcraft” than tennis.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Hollywood will lay off the [...]

The sounds of Sepinwall
Posted by Alan Sepinwall July 18, 2007 12:45AM
I’ve been blessed/cursed with one of the ultimate dichotomies of man: I dearly love to sing, and yet the proper key and me have always been two ships passing in the night. So when I heard an NBC publicist floating around looking for a critic [...]
