- Before he was Shazam, Zachary Levi played a hapless super spy in the cult tv show Chuck. Sporting a ravenous fanbase who save it from cancellation and a cast that includes Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin and more, this spy comedy seems ripe for a comeback. In this episode of Gone But Not Forgotten, which is written, edited and produced by David Arroyo, and narrated by Jesse Shade, we dig into this fan favorite.

Hey guys!
This episode of GBNF was made from suggestions from fans who emailed us demanding this show be covered on this series. If you want to make suggestions for future episodes of GBNF then e-mail GBNFSeries@gmail.com and maybe we’ll cover your show!
Thanks for listening to the viewers. Great episode. 🙏❤
Your fans have great taste. Very enjoyable show.
If they do make a movie. They should make 3 of them.
Have you done 'Burn Notice' yet? It is one of my fav shows ever. If not may I suggest doing that one I'd love for you to. If you have I'll prob be watching it next 😉😁
It's funny I started rewatching the show around the time this video came out!
Chuck is the reason why I will always support Zachary Levi's career! The show is so underrated! I feel like a proud parent with the way his career has taken off lately!
For real
He was the reason, i watched disney's tangled and it's tv series set after the movie cus he voiced flynn ryder also he is great as SHAZAM
One of the best series ever.
The thing that blew my mind about Chuck is that they did 1 season of Will They or Won't They?... but then when the two of them got together, they STAYED TOGETHER in a very mutually supportive relationship. They writers didn't break them up or write their relationship as toxic it was just... really awesome. And we were all so happy for Chuck. Almost all hack writers on most shows would have gone back to relationship-drama, but Chuck moved on and it was wholesome.
That’s a great point. They were so good for each other and it was such a wholesome show imo.
the last 3-4 episodes almost ruined the series for me.. sometimes when i re-watch i skip those because it's just so sad
it was alittle on and off for the first few seasons, mostly on and nothing to toxic which is amazing, all good vibes.
It was like 3 season but yeah I agree.
Yeah but in the end they ended their relationship with a bullshit memory loss. To me it's the worst end to any series I have seen
I remember watching the show back then. Yvonne Strahovski Zachary Levi really made the show something special. And made The Geek Squad at Best Buy look cool
Lol don't forget Morgan. I loved watching this every week and they always had a new hot chick each week it seemed like lol.
An the ineffable Baldwin. He's always amazing.
She has such an amazing smile
Sarah 😍
I loved how all the characters were actually likeable (except for the ones we were supposed to hate). But Captain Awesome could've been really annoying, but he was just so genuine and charming that you couldn't hate him.
I think even the villains were enjoyable, if not likeable. Only the last guy truly annoyed me because he seemed to be randomly inserted instead of it being a someone inside the world already created.
@@vapoet indeed. Shaw or Rourk should've been the last villain.
@@vapoetI really liked the actor who played alexei volkoff.
the only character i really hated in the show was jill. on a personal level...
The music choices for this show were absolutely amazing. Looking back now they had so many great songs you've never heard of.
Josh Swartz first series The O.C was known for it's great music. It even had 6 compilations on CD with music from the different seasons of the show. So the tradition simply continued on Chuck. I wasn't surprised at all with how good the music choices were.
@@LiesThatBind
I forgot her name, but I remember seeing that it was a lady he carried over from the O.C.'s production, who was responsible for most of the music choices in both shows.
Dude one of the best soundtracks for any show period.
Chuck is one of those shows that instantly gives me warm feelings whenever I think of it. It was a form of therapy I didn't know I needed.
I just miss early 2010s!
Chuck is my ultimate comfort show. I still get back to it from time to time and it never fails to make me laugh even though I've seen the jokes a hundred times. The soundtrack also singlehandedly cemented the most of my taste in music. I don't remember being this much affected by a show in my life.
I liked your comment on the music of Chuck. Someone very gifted did a great job with the music selections. Most tv shows don't even try to match popular music with the mood of a scene. Usually that's left to certain movies.
+1 for the music in the show
I've personally followed Zach since Chuck, and I feel no shame in admitting that I've watched the show like 4 or 5 times.
I might have seen it 15-16 times. That's more than the times I've seen Endgame in theatres.
Just 4 or 5 times? It's an annual rewatch one for me. It and Justified are two of the best shows ever!
@@ComedyBros5 Including Season 5? I personally rewatched the show a lot of times skipping season 5 because I think it is by far the weakest and the ending of season 4 was a really good ending.
@@KiHToG Oh no, I never never bother with S5. Real fans know that it's not canon and isn't to be bothered with!
Same here. But I don't watch the last 3 episodes anymore.
That ending was fkng cruel. A total kick in the nuts to the fans that carried the show for 5 years.
To destroy the entire history they had that we all shared was stunningly out of character for a show that was so amazing in every other respect.
I LOVE "CHUCK" to this very day. I can't believe it's been off the air as long as it has. I wish the movie Zachary Levi has talked about making would get made. NOT a reboot, but a continuation of the original. All of the cast has expressed interest in reprising their roles.
i know.. i was so sad when it ended i cried
@@2fakePD Yep. There were plenty of times throughout the serious I cried. Chief among them is when Chuck asked Sarah if she loved him.
@@jediknightjairinaiki560 i know. i mainly cried at the end since it was over.. i loved all the actors so much and their roles were perfect, i like casey and morgan alot. also jeff and lester were good
i wish it was still going and for 2010’s it was a awesome show
it also feels good to know other people else watched it since its not all that popular (more popular now)
@@2fakePD I have the Nerd Herd logo on my phone's main screen. The other day a window rep was at my house, going over windows I'm having installed, saw my phone and asked, "Is that from "Chuck"? I was blown away.
Chuck really was one of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched. So glad the fans rallied to give it a proper ending. I do revisit it once in awhile and it never gets old.
My Wife and I are currently in season 2 on a rewatch
I still rewatch Chuck every year. It's such a special show.
I have nothing but love for chuck. Not sure I am the biggest fan of the ending, but it has a place in my heart.
I went back and re-watched it a few years ago but I had somehow mentally blocked out the ending even though I had previously watched it through multiple times. It's like my brain was protecting me ...
I almost feel like I should have left well enough alone. Lol. I was genuinely distraught on the last viewing and now I can't forget the ending. I get what they were going for but God do I *hate* that ending. It's just so sad and tragic.
@@michaelahurt *spoiler* that’s what I thought but after watching a second time I think they fell in love all over again.
I absolutely love the earlier seasons, but I think they kinda jumped the shark in the later ones, what with the entire plotline concerning Chuck's mother, Morgan getting the intersect, amnesia,...
I liked the ending because they took a risk, it would've been much better imo if it was shaw manipulating sharah at the end, not fat Robert de bruce. His character came out of nowhere.
I will always love this show especially first 3 seasons
I like that we got an ending first of all. Second, I liked how the last episode changed the entire series from being about a nerd becoming a super spy into an adventurous love story. Yvonne, Zachary, and Adam really hit it out of the park! 😃
I gotta say, I have a lot of fond memories watching this show
Rebinged the whole series a couple years ago. STILL love it. And for the casting - don't forget Chuck's parents were both played by legends Scott Bakula and Linda Hamilton... no wonder he was the perfect sci-fi-esque agent
Great point.
Sam Beckett and Sarah Connor were Chucks parents so its unsurprising he and elle became awesome.
I've had a big crush on Yvonne Strahovski for her portrayal of Sarah. Smart, badass, funny and absolutely beautiful.
And I think that Chuck has had a big influence on Nerd and Geek culture. The video game Mass Effect 2 had a new character named Miranda, whose face and voice was modeled after Yvonne and spoken by her. I believe that her stellar performance earned her that spot and she became a new fan favorite from that point on.
Sarah may literally be the most overall attractive (in all senses of the word) character in the history of television. I get that she was written by a straight dude to appeal to a straight dude's fantasy, but...mission accomplished, my man. And Yvonne played the hell out of that character too.
Same, loved her as Hannah as well
Hell yes. I wish the MCU had picked her up for Captain Marvel. It's shocking to me that an actress of her talent doesn't land more lead roles. I find her highly watchable.
Chuck is one of the best shows ever made, gonna have to do a rewatch now
Im going to do a watch it for the first time, seems like an awesome show.
I met Adam Baldwin the day after Chuck ended. Really nice guy!
Big fan of this show, and it is was great seeing Zachary Levi going from this to Shazam. I appreciated how characters in these show actually developed as the show went on, and Matt Bomer appearances are always welcomed
Ugh... I hated Bryce. Every time that creepy dick showed up I wanted to tune out.
Matt Bomer's performance as Bryce Larkin will always be one of the coolest characters ever to me.
This series was so much fun but the thing that stood out the most was that it had an ending. A proper ending, one that made sense and it felt like we could walk away, leaving Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Morgan and, of course, Jeffster to go about their lives without being short changed. It was refreshing to see in an era of easy-come-easy-go series getting cancelled overnight.
I absolutely loathed the ending. ALL that work building the relationship just to lose their history.
It had the worst ending ever.
@@cappaholicI agree. By having Sarah lose her memory, the show erased all of her character development. That basically killed off the character.
Just re-watched Chuck after 10 years. And I was amazed that I find the ending to be pretty good compared to my initial memory of it.
While yes it has an ending, it's not the proper ending for the show. And in all honestly, Season 5 totally taints the near perfection of the series. Season 5 is so hard to get through for me, while S1-4 are easy to watch!
The show also had great guest stars.
Arguably my favorite show of all time. This was a great time for television.
Great to hear Zach Levi hasn't given up. WE WANT MORE CHUCK!
This show is everything that I need for TV series, all the spy stuff and romcom in each eposide with great writing, and the on screen chemistry between Zachary and Yvonne are unbelievably good. I'm so thankful I'm those people who know this show existed
The casting for this series was spot on
Top tier
This show will always have a special place in my heart!
I loved chuck with a passion.
I could even get to season 5 episode 8.
But afterwards it broke my heart.
If people are aware of the ending it's Just crushing for the people that have seen the trials and tribulations of the characters
Glad I'm not the only one that was crushed with the way it ended.
@@bobvalley2221
Yeah it was for me like being rewarded with a kick in the family jewels.
And I supported the campaigns to bring it back from the edge of cancellation.
Ending for me Hurt.
One of the few shows I was engaged with.
Another one was the 90s classic Babylon 5
I found this show after being dumped myself. I was about two weeks away from proposing. She was a blonde girl named Sarah. So, when I found this it was a panacea of sorts for my weary heart. I loved every single episode. The spy antics, the romance, the action, drama, and even the stuff that really pushes suspension of disbelief were all golden to me. Didn't help that Yvonne Strahovski was/is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Might be do for a rewatch, it's been a while!
Hope things are good now!
Loved Chuck. One of my favorite scenes is when Casey is complaining about his skimpy swimsuit and sarah brings up how many skimpy outfits she's had to wear over the years and basically tells him to suck it up. Not a fan of how it ended though. I can understand how they came to want to do it that way, but it still makes me a little sad, which is not how I think about that show. It was my happy show.
Perfect comment. Spot on for each point.
I think Jeffster's cover of Mr Roboto was the most hauntingly beautiful performances I've seen on Tv
I absolutely adored this show, me and my dad watched every episode together, one of my favorite TV shows
CHUCK!! This was actually a great show! Especially since it was a network tv show which are hit or miss. Zachary Levi deserves the hype he’s getting right now so maybe we will see a Chuck movie.
I'd never seen the show until I found it on HBOmax last year. I remember when it was on, but I just never watched it. Never dreamed when I started watching it that I'd be rewatching it a year later and it would be one of my favorite shows.
I loved this show back in the day, Zachary Levi was perfect as the lovable geeky superspy, long before he was Shazam, a childish Superhero!
Still the best Spy series till date in my opinion. It has everything, even the supporting casts was outstanding
This series is a masterpiece; and if a sequel movie is ever made with the original creators; I have no doubt it will be awesome.
I always wondered when a major CZcamsr would cover this series. It's like a relic of my childhood
I finally watched this show end of last year and I loved it. One of the best tv shows ever made. I hope the movie happens.
Chuck shouldn't become forgotten . They were funny and had best guest stars(Rachel Bilson , Kristin Kreuk, Timothy Dalton ,Matt Bomer ,John Larguette ,Linda Hamilton, Scott Bakula ,Chevy Chase)
I was thrilled when I tracked down the last series on dvd,thus completing the set.We replay these b2b on long weekends every now and then on a projector.
Getting actors from previous franchises was genius.I blinked and missed Mark Hamil until he spoke.
The duplicity of alexi volkov was brilliant.
(a good guy converted into a villain pretending to be a good guy)
Best line in the series"I know kung fu"
This show had it all, the feels, the comedy, the action. Rarely at such equal levels. The lunatics of Jeffster man... they were stupid hilarious.
Zachary is such a loving dude. I hope he isn't putting too much stress on himself to get more Chuck.
One of my favorite shows of all time. Big fan of the cast to this day. I watched the series through and later bought the blurays to watch through a second time with my two boys. I also watched a good amount of their second time through
definitely one of my favorite shows of all time, and one of the few normal tv shows I have all the seasons of.
So glad you covered Chuck. This is one of the most underrated shows of recent past. Huge fan of Zach Levy and Yvonne remains my first TV crush!
The show managed to deftly meld a relatively serious spy drama with genuine comedy without tipping too hard in either direction. Combine that with a great cast and it was truly something unique at the time. First 2 seasons especially.
This show is still so much fun to watch. It’s a prime example of early 2000’s pop culture.
I love Chuck! It had everything! Action. Adventure. Comedy. Romance.
I finally just finished the series 3 days ago. Watched it from the first episode and lost track of it around season 3. Love this show
This show also had the great theme song .... Cake's "short skirt, long jacket". TV shows don't have great theme songs anymore.
The different songs used in this show was awesome. I still listen to all those bands featured. Boniver’s Creature Fear used in Season 2 Episode 21 when Chuck and Sarah are in bed was such a powerful moment.
I introduced my fiancee to this show, & we ended up marathoning it over the course of 6 months. It is criminally underrated!
Bro that's a relationship experience I envy, wish I had something this cool.
I'd agree except one could see what was wrong with it: the directing. There are two directors I've ever noticed due to how absolutely terrible they are so that they made me care wonder who tf saw their end product & approved it & Robert Duncan McNeil is one of 'em.
He not only doesn't try to make scenes mesh, he removes all sense of pace. Or urgency. In 'Enterprise' he has Cpt. Archer speak with threatening Klingons in a weak, apologetic style of a Canadian who accidentally bumped into someone on a sidewalk. In Chuck, he cut out scenes that made the story make sense to let scenes without action take precedence.
Why was Chuck's best friend walking around Chuck's house naked? Who knows? How did he tape guns to a spot on his back he couldn't reach? Those were McNeil's ideas of humor So Important they needed to stay in episodes that lacked continuity because of them.
I couldn't follow a single damned episode let alone the ongoing storylines.
Based on how much i been binge watchin this show..6 months is not marathoning..not by a long shot
@@joekimani4387 I work 2 jobs. 6 months is marathoning for me.
I love Chuck. I cried when Chuck and Sarah had those moments and laughed when chuck and Morgan had their moments. This series got me excited every Tuesday-Wednesday. Would love to see this come again.
Yeah the stuff with Sarah and Chuck really hits you in the feels. So well made all around.
I had heard about this show for a little while and then I found seasons 1 thru 4 for dirt cheap at a pawn shop and I figured "what the heck I'll give it a shot" and now its one of my favorites shows. Really hope they come back with another season or a movie.
My wife and I just finished streaming all five seasons of 'Chuck'. We're both IT types, and the plot lines and dialog rang true to us. Character development was excellent, and the guest stars gave the show a lift when it started to lag. We'll re-watch it sometime soon. Can't say enough good things about your video, so "Thanks" for doing it.
I love this show. So much that I bought it on DVD. The atmosphere on the set was so good, they came as close as if they were family. Just as on the show Firefly.
This show had a great cast of guest stars too. I love this show.
David Arroyo and Jesse Shade are awesome duo. Makes this retrospective series a favorite of mine.
I've always looooved both the shows Chuck and Psych and this character breakdown just made me realise that both the shows main character archetypes are essentially the same. One outsider, his supportive bestfriend, a badass female law enforcement officer who falls in love with the main character, a no nonsense law enforcement officer. These dynamics are just soooo fun to watch, especially when done right.
loooved chuck so much, what a beloved series, i loved his relationship with sarah, and the bonding with casey and morgan's goofiness, jester.. hotta rewatch it someday.
I am sick home and just binge watched this show last weekend. Thanks buddy.
LMAO, this is my favorite show of all time, I am glad you made a video about it.
Casey having a kid at 18 is actually incredibly possible. A lot of young soldiers have kids between 18 and 21 years old. Some for the housing bennies, others because when you’re young and dumb you decide to leave it in and hope it all works out.
I didn't watch Chuck until 2015, when i found it on Netflix I think. It quickly became my favorite show and I've binge watched it 5 times since then. I really loved a Levi cared and continues to care about the show.
Hell yes! Thank you for this. Great show. Now if Screen Junkies would do an Honest Trailer, the series would get even more exposure.
This was a show that we always looked forward to the next week's episode. Nothing but fond memories of Chuck
Totally missing out on a awesome series if you don’t see this .. yes if done right … Chuck fans would love to see them back in action !!!
One of the best shows I can recall growing up. Worth watching for sure.
Man I loved... Well I still love this damn show! I remember every season was a hold your breath moment because you just didn't know if it would comeback! We the fans helped to get it to 5 seasons and a finale that we were happy with. I'd love a chuck movie. I can't believe it's been over ten years since it ended!! But at the same time it does feel like a whole different era.
Chuck is one of my favorite shows. Still hoping for the movie. Great video.🙏❤
I have to say this show has one of my favorite reveals ever, where one of the characters is ambushed in a really bad and obviously fake fight scene. Everybody seeing it initially complained about how badly staged that fight scene was.
Then the next episode, Morgan looks at the fight film footage and figures out that the guy was the mole, because he's seen a lot of low budget kung-fu films, and that was a really bad fake stage fight, but Morgan saw through it, since he's seen a lot of bad kung-fu films.
It's funny to see a bad fight scene become a plot point.
It shocks me that not a lot of people know of this show it’s an underrated masterpiece
This has always been my favorite show, glad to see it get some love
I've been binge watching this on Prime over the past couple of months. It's such a great show!
Always heard about this show but never saw it myself. It's on my long list of shows to eventually watch
It's one of my favorites. It's got action, humor, romance, and it's just so darn fun
The CunninLynguist - move "Chuck" to the top of your list. You can thank me afterwards by buying me Subway. 😉
What are other shows in your list?? Would you like to share??
A big part of why this show is so great is Yvonne’s acting. She is so good at using her eyes and facial expressions to portray emotion and you believe it. She’s one of the best actors I’ve ever seen
My daughter and I were OBSESSED with this show.
Still slightly disappointed by how it ended
Me too, I’m a sucker for happy ending. Not saccharine, but happy. I remember this one being kinda sad but with a glimmer of hope. It was enough closure for me. Unlike Quantum Leap, to this day that postscript about Sam, pisses me off and I loved that show.
I agree, I have watched the series several times and I always skip season 5, except for the first run through. I prefer to have it end with the season 4 finale with their wedding.
I love this show so much I binge it twice a year. I guess it just shows how current television needs to look back at what was good and not just what was popular.
Wow, thanks for this. Chuck was/is one of my favorite all time series 🎉🎉🎉🎉
wtf. I didn't know that levi was still trying to make that happen. chuck was literally one of my favourite series for a long time.
One of my favorites!! Loved Chuck, it was great! So glad I'm not the one who can reminsce with joy on this episode!
What a lovely video about my alltime favourite show! Thank you very much!!! Just... Awesome. ;)
Personally Chuck is my favorite show ever. I watched it so many times over the years and even have a blu ray collector and a big displate of the show in my bedroom so yeah.
Chuck will forever be one of my favorite shows, it sucked how it ended but it was a brilliant show! I binge watch this show at least once a year.
HUGE fan of Chuck! Glad to see this show is still resonating with folks today.
I decided on a better ending. He leans into kiss her on the beach, and she starts to flash. All of the memories of the relationship zoom through her head for a couple of minutes and then suddenly she pulls away and the kiss ends, and she’s looking at Chuck out of breath, and then she smiles really big, kisses him again and it zooms out and then once it gets kind of far away, all of the sudden, the romantic music stops, and it cuts to Morgan at the Buy More answering the phone. “oh hey Chuck, so how’s it going? Did you kiss her? “
Chuck: “It worked, buddy…” THEN the credits roll.
My roommate/buddy and I LOVED this show at the time. One year for Xmas I went on the NBC website and bought him a "Buy More" polo shirt... He wore it when we went to Best Buy one day, was wandering around, one of the Best Buy workers came up to him in their blue polo's and he looked at them and asked "So, you guys get dental?" They laughed. We laughed. It was great!
Such a funny little moment, I feel like Zachary Levi would to hear it.
Best ending to a show ever. It's almost like it can loop if you want
I am watching this video because just this week I decided I missed Chuck so much I am watching all the episodes again. I think it holds up great over the years and is still one of my favorite shows.
Lost count how many times I've rewatched this show, it's at least once a year!
WE DESERVE A CHUCK MOVIE!!!! We need a few loose ends tied up. Did Sarah get her memory back?!?!? I'd like to think she did but I want confirmation. My Soul needs this!!!
Exactly. How have we not at least had a mini-sequel series or a 2hr feature film? I feel like all the actors and actresses would be all for it!
We need something to fix the awful series finale/Season 5 as a whole!
I've watched the series multiple times. Love it every time.
One of the first shows my wife and I watched together.
I remember every year watching the list to see if we got another season.
Was lucky enough to see some of the set
Omg I’m *SO* shocked I totally forgot about the series 😱I loved it very much the characters were so well written 🔥🔥🔥
This is my background show, always playing when i do laundry and such, love it, never gets old, such a sad ending
Just Bring Chuck back already...Zachary is super popular right now. All these superhero geeks are crazy about superheroes and Chuck is all about geeks. It's one big salad of components making a Chuck continuation a guaranteed success.
This video has brought waves of nostalgia. I loved this show and thought the casting was done perfectly too! I don’t remember how it ended, but I suppose that could be a blessing in disguise since I can rewatch it.
This is one of my favorite shows ever. This came on when I was a teenager and watched every episode from 7th grade to senior year. Yvonne Strahovski was my biggest heartthrob.
@IncandescentCarbon I still have those feelings for her, but unfortunately, she's married with two kids
@IncandescentCarbon or pool boy
Awesome, I just started watching the show again. Great show and an amazing cast and crew. Here's hoping for the movie. Big Mike is a personal favorite! You got to love the big man.
Not enough folks talk about this show. This was *the* show for me back in the day. It was always a big family ordeal to sit down every Tuesday at 7pm CST to watch it with my family (I was around 12yrs old at the time). I enjoy it so much that my wife and I bought it on DVD (since it was criminally removed from all streaming services) and watch it at least once every other year. The characters, the story, the soundtrack - and like I said, I watched it with all my brothers and parents, so it's even family friendly as well!
I would call it the best show ever if Season 5 didn't exist. I'm still annoyed that we haven't at least gotten a full length feature film to fix that series finale!
Chuck will always have a place in my nerdy heart. It had everything i wanted in a show.
Great video. Idk know about the Zachary Levi popularity after his viral rants? I was late to the party in watching Chuck in 2020 when a lot was shutdown, going into the pilot episode I was bored at first, but by the end I was hooked, I was2 a fan of the last seasons direction. I missed out on being apart of the fandom, I loved it, and this right after I binged Dexter so I was able to warm up to Yvonne Strahovski easily as the main love interest. I agree that you don't see too many shows with positively passion fanbase, maybe Supernatural?
