Chuck 2.12 Chuck Versus the Third Dimension

Posted by: admin in Chuck

Season: 2 Episode: 12 First Aired: 2/2/2009

NBC is giving Chuck
a big episode the day after the Super Bowl in February. On Monday, February 2, Chuck will air a new episode, but with a twist. The episode will be in 3-D. In and around the Super Bowl, NBC will distribute over 100 million 3-D glasses in anticipation of the Chuck episode. This will surely be accompanied by constant on-air promotion during the Super Bowl. If the advertising team at NBC creates some funny and intriguing promos for the 3-D Chuck episode, the series will almost certainly see a big bump in ratings for the post-Super Bowl episode. If the episode itself is as good as Chuck has been this season, the new viewers may decide to stick around for the rest of the season. It’s no easy task, bringing in a significant amount of new viewers, but having the Super Bowl as a tool to do so is invaluable.

Speaking of his character as a rocker, Monaghan who also plays similar role named Charlie in “Lost“, said “He is an English rock star, so obviously there are similarities [to Charlie]. But this is a comedic role. Charlie was not incredibly comedic on purpose. I think Charlie had funny moments, but Charlie was quite tortured and into meth. The guy that I play on Chuck is just an out-and-out lunatic. If you were to look up ‘definitive rock star’ in the dictionary, there would be a picture of him.”

“Chuck Versus the Third Dimension” will air February 2.
