That makes sense. They generally try to cross-promote the DVD release of the previous season of any series with the start of its next season. The ads for one increase awareness of the other, so both the studio and the network benefit from the other's promotional effort. Fans (and newbies...

Yeah, with Sarah working at Subway, they could never subject the sandwich shop business to the kind of brutal satire and biting social commentary they did about the yogurt shop and hot dog industries. I'll miss that. Oh, wait. They never did any jokes about Sarah's jobs. As long as Chuck...

Everybody knows that CIA headquarters is in Langley, VA. (Hell, it has its own exit off the beltway marked with a big white-on-green interstate highway sign, and a municipal bus line runs through the middle of the place. By now it probably has its own Metro stop - it has been 30 years since I...

There is no such thing as a "rating share". There is a rating, expressed as a decimal number, and there is a share, expressed as a percentage. The rating is an absolute number based on number of households watching a show. The share is the percentage of the audience that is actually watching...

I was so hoping that was a typo and I had just missed something on the show. ;) Regards, Joe

I definitely didn't see any PONRS for Chuck and Sarah. I would have remembered. (And I'm pretty sure you can't do PONRs on network television.) Can you tell that I have no idea what PONRs means in this context and that I got nowhere (useful) with Google? Regards, Joe

I always thought the Psych bits were deliberately over-the-top, the producer's way of saying, "We're contractually obligated to do this, we don't have to make any effort to hide it." And it also fits with the winking-at-the-audience, almost-breaking-the-fourth-wall vibe the show has always had...

Casey: That's for flunking me. :D Joe

It may not be a coincidence that Chuck is so compatible with the Intersect. If Steve Bartowski used his own brain as the model for brain behavior in designing the Intersect (or at least the Really Cool Parts (tm) ;)) he may have accidentally introduced a bias that makes it work better with...

Great episode. I think my favorite moment was when Chuck did the slo-mo action hero thing, emptying two automatics at a bunch of bad guys, only without apparently hitting any of them. Then they all collapsed, which made the gag even funnier. He was awfully lucky he didn't hit is dad, though...

And I love anything involving Sarah and the word "dirty". ;) Regards, Joe P.S. What is it about hot chicks and plumbing?

So do I. When I said "they" built it, I meant Jeff, Lester and maybe Morgan, not the Powers That Be at Buy More. And the "coops" I mentioned above were, in fact, built by employees without the knowledge or approval of management. I know of a Ford plant where there was an entire secret break room...

I assume they broke through the tile and wallboard that formed the original walls of the stall into the open space behind it. So the "expanded" stall now includes the gap between the interior walls and the cinder block exterior of the building, the space where the pipes and wiring runs. I've...

Melinda Clarke! :D Joe

"Charles Carmichael always comes quickly" :D Joe

I forgot to pick up the glasses, so didn't get to check out the movie ad. I am looking forward to seeing Yvonne in 3D, however, since this is as close to seeing her in the flesh as I'm ever going to get. Later, Joe

I'm with you on Anna, not so much on Elle. I was not thinking of her as a sister when she and Anna were leaning over that stretcher. Regards, Joe

Yes. Which is the same music that is playing in Die Hard when the bad guys seal off the Nakatomi tower (AKA the Fox office bldg. ), hence the joke. Yes, it was Beethoven, but in this specific context it was a Die Hard reference, one of many. Regards, Joe

Finally got a chance to sit down and watch this, so all the good comments are taken. ;) Nitpick: I was annoyed that Chuck told Fulcrum he as the Intersect. He could have told them a half-dozen plausible lies to buy time, and explained away Casey and Sarah by saying they were assigned to keep...

I think most of those connections were built-in from the start, just as all the characters were "destined" to end up on the island (or manipulated into doing so.) But Lost is supposed to be an intricately-plotted mystery with lots of backstory and hidden connections. Chuck is designed to be more...

It is very thin. But I could forgive a flaw like that, all things considered.

One of the great things about this show is how they get all the little things right, and stack jokes on top of one another. Did anyone else notice that during one of Morgan's scenes on the Buy More sales floor (I think when he confronted Chuck about Jill?) the wall of TVs behind him was showing...

Sadly, no. Which is a pity, because if you replaced the character involved with Sara, and the object involved with something else, you'd have a really interesting 3-D image. Albeit one that could never been done on network television, or even premium cable. It would have to be pay-per-view. ;)...

Not telling him her real name was just normal operational security for an undercover agent. She didn't have a specific, personal, "mysterious past" beyond her bending-the-rules relationship with Bryce - which we and Chuck also knew about pretty early on. There weren't open questions about her...

???? A reset button, by definition, returns the situation to the status quo ante. The ending did nothing of the sort. Obviously she and her father changed names and towns regularly, so the "real" name we learned about wasn't her real "real" name, but I don't see that as a problem. And since they...
