How do you put a show together?

We have a big writer's room filled with lots of talented writers and we break our stories there. Each writer is assigned an outline which he or she goes off and writes. Then the writer is on set to produce the episode. We're like a big family and take ideas from everyone.

how about getting a tech expert to provide assistance?

It'd be nice if you posted the musical artists from each episode.

it seems to me like you guys have a lot of experience at "buy more" (the real one). I worked at another version and some of your writing in the store is Hillarious!

i enjoyed your show last season, but was disappointed with the plot of "eliminating the threat of Chuck" being the season premiere. why would you kill off the main/title character in the first episode of the season.

I know you probably get suggestions for ideas all the time, but I think I've got a good one for you. Get Patrick Warburton (the big guy from the Tick) to play Casey's big brother, who was always better at everything. He did better in school, at sports, he had a cooler car and much prettier girlfiends. And now he's even a better spy than Casey. This would explain his (Casey's) overcompensation complex. And Chuck would have a ball teasing Casey about it. I just thought of a job that you could give him that would make Casey green with envy - the Secret Service. What government job could be more important than protecting the President? And why don't you name his character Alec? Lots of opportunity there for jokes about Casey's big brother being more successful than him. (No offense, Adam) Thanks for a great show, and I hope you have a seven year run.

Hello-
Let me start off by saying that I have never been a tv fan until the past 2 years, I started watching heroes and prison break. No other shows interested me in the slightest and I tried many shows because I am at home recovering from a brutal car wreck in which I lost both my legs and an arm, so all have is time, Anyhow, I decided to watch Chuck as I heard about it from friends so I gave it a shot. I was really suprised at how good of a show it is! Now, I have a major problem with it, the last 2 episodes since Jill has been back are SO BAD! Chuck is the worst p - whipped sad sack I have ever seen, and the worst is how the writers, or Levi himself tried to act cooler around Case and Sarah, for instance, when he is dumb enough to bring Jill to their secret CIA lair, and then he orders Casey to get the Spectrometer! Even wors, when he steals the flash drive, I became enraged at all these episodes Chuck had due to Jill, the writrs are officially terrible. There were parts that made me cringe, I literally had to quickly turn the volume down like when Chuck and Jill solve the opera puzzle and they both start praising each other and when Jill is released by her kidnappers (fake)and Chuck comfots her. On top of being so damn cheesy, it just makes Chuck revert back to that pathetic guy, but even worse as he instantly takers her back, it is terrible and I can never think of an instance in all of my life that I found myself raging angry over a tv show. Of course, like everyone else, I would like to see Chuck and Sarah get it on, but the jill and Chuck new dating thing is god awful, the onlky way I will start watching the show again is if somehow Casey or Sarah kill Jill ion the next episode. These last 2 episodes just ended up making me hatre Chuck, I always found him funny and likable,but not now, I hate him! I haveknown guys that were that whipped by their chicks, so sad! Come on writers, kill off Jill, she deserves to die for her secret Fulcrum association, and watc, the writers will make it so Chuck believes her innocent, I just hope Sarah kills her because she issued the subtle threat to Jill outside the opera when she told her she protects Chuck against everything.

Hello
i just began watching this series during the second season and i reallly liked it. it has been a show where many of us can relate to chuck sarah and the rest of the cast. i really liked it so i went out and bought the dvd of the first season and im cought up. great storyline even the jill thing im glad they were not a lasting item. im happy with where the show is going i just hope for the viewers sake that we get up to a 3rd season it would be too soon to let it die at a 2nd season for the show has lots of potential. any who i aswell have an idea that would please many of the chuck fans. except i would use this as a climax point either towards the end or somewhere, where the show is becomeing monotone.. here it goes: MI3 thats a great way to get some action in. IN mission impossible 3 it is tom cruise who has to save his wife but in chuck it would not be sarah saving chuck, but him saving her. but it has to be that dramatic. well thats just a suggestion haha. chuck is great, and again i hope it doesnt end at 2 seasons.l8rs

CHUCK HATES BLACKS & LATINOS (especially women) Nothing like being portrayed as the stereotypical thug, bad guy or eye/neck rollin' "No he didn't" salesperson to lower a show's standards. Stopped being hip & funny and became one step away from the banana peel gag. Hard to believe an area in SoCA has populace that looks more like New Jersey than Burbank (or am I selling NJ short?)Women only come in two shades at the BuyMore -- pale and paler. & BTW J Gomez is about as latin as Cameron Diaz.

i have watch a lot and this season completely. i think the writers have been sappy this season. the rumors of the show being cancelled would not surprise me. with tonights episode, it shows the show can not keep going. i 3was disappointed with the last few episodes.

So how can i submit a synopsis for CHUCK ???
