As 2008 winds down, let’s take a look back at the year that was here on ChuckTV.net: the year got off to a rocky start for Chuck<\/strong> fans as the writers’ strike meant an abbreviated season with the final two episodes airing in January as a Chuck<\/strong> sandwich<\/a>. January also saw the launch of Chuck vs. the Podcast<\/a> with our first episode featuring our interview with Yvonne Strahovski. We also learned a lot about what goes into making the music of Chuck<\/strong> from composer Tim Jones in our second podcast<\/a>. Fortunately NBC decided to end our suspense early and ordered a second season<\/a> of the show in February, assuring us of more adventures with Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Morgan, et al.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 In March, the cast plus showrunners Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz appeared at Paley Fest<\/a>, covered by our own Roz, to talk about the first season and their plans for the second season.<\/p>\n

April saw Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski featured in TV Guide’s Sexiest Stars issue<\/a>, which was no surprise for Chuck<\/strong> fans. May brought the return to filming on the series and our first spoilers<\/a> for season 2 after a long dry spell. More spoilers, guest star announcements (Michael Strahan! Nicole Richie!), the launch of the Chuck<\/strong> comic books<\/a>, and photos of the cast at various events kept us going in June<\/a>. July featured the geek fest that is Comic Con and our scoop<\/a> from the third row of the Chuck<\/strong> panel. We also got snippets of news from the TCAs<\/a> and the first promos started to appear. Advance looks at the first few episodes of season 2 were resoundingly positive, and then NBC went and ordered a full season<\/a> based on the first six episodes in August, giving us cause to cheer.<\/p>\n

September was pure gold for Chuck<\/strong> fans. The show won an Emmy for stunts<\/a>, premiered season two at the Paley Center<\/a>, the first episode was available online a week early, and – finally – new episodes began to air. The ChuckTV.net forums<\/a> exploded with new members joining the veterans to talk about the new season. October brought more new episodes, including the much-anticipated showdown<\/a> between Nicole Richie’s Heather and Yvonne Strahovski’s Sarah. November sweeps included the polarizing Jill Trilogy, a trio of episodes that caused more discussion than any other single aspect of Chuck<\/strong> in the ChuckTV.net forums<\/a>. More casting news, including Tricia Helfer<\/a> and Jenny McCarthy & Andy Richter<\/a>, gave us clues about the second half of the season and we chatted with Julia Ling<\/a> (Anna) in our podcast. The mid-season finale aired December 15, with another ending that prompted a lot of discussion in the ChuckTV.net forums<\/a>, as well as Chuck<\/strong>‘s appearance on several<\/a> Best<\/a> of<\/a> TV<\/a> lists<\/a> for the year. Our mega-sized December podcast<\/a> featured an interview with Scott Krinsky (Jeff), adding another Buy Morian to our list of awesome dudes.<\/p>\n

What happened on Chuck<\/strong> this year? Here’s a brief recap:<\/p>\n
