PREVIEW: “Chuck vs. First Class” Plus Win a Chuck Press Kit!

This week on Chuck we learn more about Shaw, Chuck goes on his first solo mission, Stone Cold Steve Austin stops by, and Kristin Kreuk’s Hannah arrives on the scene. Plus we get an homage to an Adam Baldwin movie from Casey. Good times! Here’s the official synopsis for “Chuck vs. First Class”, airing tonight at 8/7c on NBC:

CIA agent Daniel Shaw (guest star Brandon Routh) assigns Chuck to his first solo mission in Paris, ignoring Sarah and Casey’s wishes. During the flight to France, Chuck befriends Hannah (guest star Kristin Kreuk) and flashes on another passenger — the imposing Hugo Panzer (guest star “Stone Cold” Steve Austin). Meanwhile, Casey helps Morgan battle Jeff and Lester for control of the Buy More.

  1. I love Chuck. I love Chuck more when Scott is his dad!
    I love Chuck enough to watch live on the Digital TV while recording on the DVR to save forever (even after getting the DVDs-DVR is quick reference!)
    I love Chuck cause my best friend talks about it rather than Peter Lorre and Hans Conried!

  2. I love Chuck! I worried just a bit that Intersect 2.0 was going to be a bit of overkill but this season is even better than last year. Call me weird but my favorite part of last night’s episode was the hypnosis scene “Morgan’s your boss….. Morgan’s your boss….”

  3. I love Chuck!! It’s my favorite show of all time. I’ve been watching it for three years and never missed an episode. Everything about Chuck is awesome!!

  4. This show is so good I have been able to get people to watch it without trying to sell it. The show speaks for itself. I can’t wait for the next episode.

  5. Loved vs the First Class! Season 3 keeps getting better and better! Chucks first solo mission was, for the lack of a better term, awesome! But, of course, Chuck’s first solo mission would be “Chuck” if it didn’t go wrong somehow. Haha

  6. wow… this is the first girl since Lou that i actually like the possibility of them being together…. i actually will miss Hannah if she does not stick around not as much as i missed Lou but yah still a lot

  7. Chuck is so great. I am so happy that the rating have been steady. My friends and I enjoy spreading the love of chuck!

  8. I’m loving Season 3!!!

  9. I really hope to win this press kit. I loved 3.05!

  10. awesome show. Hannah is sweet and sincere, the tranq action sequence was funny and Shaw/Sarah invoking the joystick to remote control the plane was hilarious!

  11. 3.05 was awesome. Ratings suggest a 4th season.

  12. chuck is soooo goood! Loving season 3 so far. cant wait to see whats gonna unfold as the show continues..

  13. I was unhappy with the season opener, but have been very happy with all the episodes since. 3.04 has been my favorite so far, but 3.05 “first class” was very good too! Hope the ratings stay steady so we can get a 4th season for Chuck.

  14. Chuck is Awesome..keeps getting better. Can’t wait to see what more season 3 has in store.

  15. Season three has been amazing 🙂

  16. love the season so far, especially the morgan as ASS-Man and new romantic interests for chuck and sarah.

  17. I LOVE CHUCK!!!!!!! Had been trying to save it by showing it to all my friends and family. EVERYONE…. who has watched more than 3 episodes has gotten hooked on it. Indirectly I have gotten over 50-60 people to Chuck (friends showing friends). And directly probably about 20. Viva Buymoria and WB PLZ PUT CHUCK ON ITUNES… everyone wants it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. Kristin kreurk was great on the show i love her and chuck is doing really good in the rating GO CHUCK…. HOPE I WIN

  19. CHUCK WAS AWSOME BEST SHOW EVER

  20. I just love Chuck. So far this season has been just fantastic. I can’t wait for even more of this season’s episodes to come.

  21. Chuck is the most AWESOME series i ever watched. love Morgan/Casey scenes.. this shows never fails to have me laughing so hard… 🙂

  22. I like where the show is going so far. It’s been fun, exciting and only a little super-spy growth. CHUCK still needs to be a bumbling spy, but the evolution is fun!

  23. I’ve been loving season three so far- but I’d love it even more if I had a DVD to show off to friends. 😉

    I was particularly impressed with Josie Davis, the (SPOILER)

    evil flight attendant in 3.05. The way she kept her flight-attendant mannerisms and speech while threatening Mr. Bartowski was pitch-perfect with the tone of the series. It’d be great to see her return to threaten the team again!

    Oh, and Kristen Kreuk was surprisingly good. There’s a shoe I’ll gladly watch while waiting for it to drop… that didn’t quite work.

  24. It seemed like forever for Season 3 to begin. I’m thrilled that Chuck is back! I am enjoying the new episodes. I loved Chuck and the nunchucks. The comment he made, “I didn’t get to use my nunchucks” was priceless. My wife and I laughed so hard!!! Casey helping Morgan was an added bonus. I got to meet Adam Baldwin at Comic-Con last summer. He was very nice and signed my Season 1 DVD set. Keep up the great work!

  25. Cant get enough of Chuck. Season 3 is CRAZY good can’t wait for more.

  26. Me = MUST WIN A PRESS KIT!!!

  27. Lovin’ Season 3! Seems like each episode gets better and better!!!

  28. Lovin’ Season 3! Seems like each episode is better than the last!

  29. Great start to season 3

  30. I love Chuck especially season 3!

  31. Wow, it just keeps getting better and better. Though I wish Chuck could have actually fought Steve Austin and done it without Sara’s help. And next week’s episode has me geeking out. Another Intersect?! I hope I win, I’m a huge fan.

  32. I love CHUCK sooo much. I have been a fan since the mid-first season when I found the show. I am happy to know I helped bring the show back by supporting something I believe in. I’m so proud of this show and hope they keep up the good work. Also kudos to Mel, Liz and Gray for the AWESOME website and podcast. You guys are the best. Thanks for all you guys do.

  33. hey, Chuck is great…i finally convinced my friends to watch it and they love it…

  34. Love the show-it’s my favorite. Can’t wait to see it every week. It keeps getting better. Keep up the great work!

  35. good comedy, good action and excitement, gotta love sarah.

  36. I’m suspicious of Hannah, she’s a Ring spy or a plant by Shaw. Loving Season 3 so far!

  37. Season 3 is great so far but Sarah and Casey need to come back from the background in future episodes.

  38. Chuck is my favorite show of the last ten years! The press kit looks like a great prize!

  39. I am so happy that I found Chuck. I purchase advertising space on television and I remember writing off Chuck in 2007 during the NBC upfront. Boy was I an idiot!
    Thanks to the guest appearance of Kristin Kreuk from one of my favorite shows, Smallville, I was intrigued to check out the show to be caught up. If it wasn’t for her, I would have never been introduced to one of the best shows on television.

    From now on, I will do whatever I can to keep this show on air.

    Thank you ChuckTv.net for all of your efforts as well.

  40. This season has been so solid…with plot, guest stars and the way the core group of actors have gelled into a solid acting unit. I’ll still continue to pimp Chuck to everyone I meet, but, for the first time, I feel the show is on solid enough ground that the cast and crew shouldn’t fear a repeat of the end of last season.

    I predict that Chuck will renewed for S4 far in advance this year.

  41. I have now recruited enough people to make Sunday night – Chuck Night up here in Ottawa. It took me awhile to figure out we were getting eps. a day early. Still having trouble with Superman and Lana Lang on the show now keepin my superheros straight, but lets face it, Chuck is better then any otehr suprhero out there. This show rocks. I mean he opened up a can of Whoopa$$ on Stone Cold Steave Austin… not many people can claim to have done that.

  42. Chuck is Superb. I watch it every Monday at 2 a.m.(I’m not from U.S.) However Zachary&Yvonne honour that because they’re both amazing

  43. This show is outstanding. I Havent missed an episode live since i watched the pilot!
    What a show!

  44. I really enjoyed the Chuck vs First Class, I don’t want to admit it, but I was a bit unsure about the new series, maybe it’s because I’ve watched Season 1 and 2 just before watching Season 3, but I’ll have to say the changes are growing on me and I though this was possibly the best episode from Season 3 yet.

    I loved both arcs of the episode, Chuck going to Paris on the plane on his first mission (making the mistake of jumping in the casket, the sort of thing I’d probably do!) and Morgan trying to regain the respect of the Buymorians (I laughed hard at Casey doing his bit in Lester’s house).

    I’m wondering too if Hannah will become Chuck’s new love interest? I must admit I really do like the Chuck/Sarah thing, but I also liked it when Jill and Bryce came back on to the scene, so I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with Hannah, no doubt she’ll be the newest member of the Nerd Herd (I can’t wait to see what Jeff and Lester make of her).

    So yeah, great episode, turns out my fears about Season 3 were unfounded, it’s as good as the previous seasons.

  45. This season is getting better by the episode! I can’t wait for next weeks episode!

  46. Emmett’s demise made my day. Long live Chuck!!

  47. Chuck is awesome. I’ve been a huge fan since the first episode. And ever since I found Chucktv.net, its been my favorite chuck rumor / news site. Thank You for the great coverage. Hopefully the ratings remain solid, and there is a lot more Chuck to come beyond this season.

  48. As beautiful as Kristen Kreuk is, she has NOTHING on Yvonne Strahovski. Sorry, Kristen, still love ya though!

  49. chuck. chuck-freaking-tastic. mmmhmm

  50. Loving Chuck this season. Can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen between Chuck and Sarah! Oh and gotta have some more Casey stuff gotta love the grunts 🙂
