PREVIEW: “Chuck vs. the Muuurder” Plus Zac on Leno

This week’s episode of Chuck looks intense! All the action takes place in Castle and the Buy More, and it involves our first murder mystery.

WHEN A SPY IS MURDERED IN CASTLE, IT’S UP TO CHUCK TO FIGURE OUT “WHO DONE IT” — ROBIN GIVENS GUEST STARS — Chuck (Zachary Levi) is put in charge of a top-priority mission, but his leadership skills are pushed to the limit when there is a murder in Castle. Meanwhile, Awesome (Ryan McPartlin) takes on a mission of his own when Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) finds an alarming new hobby. Elsewhere, Morgan’s (Joshua Gomez) leadership is also tested when his Buy More troops wage war against Large Mart. Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Krinsky, Vik Sahay, Mark Christopher Lawrence and Bonita Friedericy also star.

“Chuck vs. the Muuurder” airs tonight at 8/7c on NBC. Watch it live! We didn’t get promo stills for the second week in a row (hmmm…covert much?), but you can watch the preview for this episode below, watch last week’s episode on NBC.com, and don’t forget to join us for our live chat, beginning at 7:45/6:45c below! And don’t forget to set your DVR to record Zachary Levi on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after your local news.

  1. I’m throwing it out now, Bentley killed the Chuck wannabes. She wants the Intersect project back.

    • But it looks like she is trapped in the Castle with the rest of them.

    • That wouldn’t make much sense since she was the one who was recruiting the GRETAs. My theory is that Vivian might be the one doing it. Zach has said that she shows up and all hell breaks loose, which would make sense with Castle going haywire.

    I wanna know what Sarah has to say when Casey was sad that there were more Chucks. This should be an interesting episode! It looks like Castle was like blown up or something are they gonna have to build a new Castle? Can’t wait! 🙂

  3. Usually every Monday I get excited because CHUCK is on. However, this Monday, for anyone who lives in Jacksonville, Fl. You will find that at 8pm tonight on NBC, there will be no CHUCK but instead a Jacksonville Election Debate thing. I looked to see when they will show CHUCK and they won’t show it to people in the Jacksonville area until 3am Tuesday. 3am people. The worst part is that I am a Nielson viewer and I usually throw parties on mondays so I contribute to over forty of the viewers in the 18-49 (I’m 29) demo for CHUCK. Son of a gun! I hope the ratings don’t go down because of this. Looks like I’m staying up late or maybe I’ll just wait for it to be On Demand. Man this sucks. I WANT CHUCK!!!!! 🙁

    • Hulu it on Tuesday. It probably won’t count as much but it’s something. There should be a law against messing with Chuck!

    • I am in Jacksonville too and I’m annoyed at FCN for interrupting Chuck night. I guess I’ll just hulu it tomorrow.

  4. DWTS premiers tonight, so that’s bad news. Hopefully it won’t hurt us too badly. Comcast should hire an idiot task force to patrol the NBC offices to watch for stupid mistakes, because there are plenty of them. One of the biggest is how they air all those promos for the Event and Harry’s Law during Chuck. Chuck isn’t getting a lot of viewers and it’s a lead in, so it doesn’t do a lot of good to air promos during it. Instead, they should use that promo money to promote Chuck more, and that way the lead in gets more viewers. Then air a few promos for the other shows during it, and that way more people see those promos as well, which means all 3 shows benefit.

    About Reward TV, I last week I played the Chuck game on there. I assume that was the correct survey. Mel, when you’re done answering the survey questions, do you simply exit the game or is there a submit button somewhere? Just need that clarification to make sure I’m doing it right. Also, do you have any idea what the significance of the points is, like how much x amount of points counts for? Additionally, I don’t know why people are getting the questions wrong. I replayed the episode on my DVR while I played the game, so I got mostly all of them right (I have a DVR on my PC). Lastly for the Reward TV thing, why didn’t we know about it before, like in season 2?

    • I never see a “submit” button, either. I believe your answers are submitted automatically as you go through each bit of the game/survey.

      We did know about RewardTV last year and used it in the season 4 campaign (https://chucktv.net/2010/05/11/chuck-declassified-mission-tuesday-may-11/). Not sure if it wasn’t around in season 2 or if we just hadn’t heard about it yet.

  5. Did anybody notice that there are 4 intersect choices and 3 u’s in Muuurder maybe 3 will die and one is the suspect…hmmm….GENIUUUUUS!

  6. LOVED tonight’s episode!

  7. Chuck is Agent X thats what they called him during the Second Episode “Chuck VS the Helicopter” from the first season, Ellie has or was sent all of Chuck’s info that the CIA has on Chuck. Ellie will take up the job of taking care of her little brother just as she promised Papa B in the flashback in “Chuck VS the Subway” as the new Orion.

    • Cool, I’m not the only one that remembered the “patient X” reference from 1×02.

  8. What/Who is agent x supposed to be? Was that referenced before? Just curious – I’ve watched ever Chuck episode, but I’m not making a connection to what Agent X is.
