"Chuck" - season four

[Rico]

Some cool news from Comic Con about "Chuck" for next season.  The biggest being that Linda Hamilton will be showing up as Chuck's mom.  Some other stuff has been announced too.  Read on:

Chuck' it out: 'Terminator' tough gal Linda Hamilton is joining the NBC spy comedy in the recurring role of badass Mama Bartowski.

'Chuck' Me! NBC Announces Fall Premiere Dates

Explaining the character's introduction, which was teased in the season finale, series boss Josh Schwartz told the Comic-Con crowd on Saturday, "'Chuck' fans have long wondered about the circumstances surrounding Chuck and Ellie's mysterious mother, Mary Bartowski, who disappeared from her children's lives when they were still young."

Hamilton's appearances as Mary will in turn lead Chuck "to discover that her life was shrouded in secrets. She was a spy, a CIA agent ... and that's just the beginning," Schwartz teased. "Who is she today? One thing is certain: She's not the soccer mom who left her children so many years ago."

Hamilton will first appear in the September 20 season premiere – the same episode guest-starring Olivia Munn as a CIA agent code-named "Greta" and 'Rocky IV' Russkie Dolph Lundgren as a big bad.

More 'Chuck' intel from the Comic-Con panel revealed that in the wake of the Buy More's season-ending destruction... the electronics mecca will be back, but now owned and operated by Uncle Sam. That's where "Greta" comes in: A rotation of guest stars, starting with Munn and followed in Episode 2 by Old Spice pitchman Isaiah "I'm On A Horse" Mustafa, will play the Buy More cover operation's overseer. And be they female or male, they'll go by "Greta."

Well that's exciting, Sarah Connor as Chuck and Ellie's mother. I'm sure that will be fun.

I am really excited that Chuck is getting another season and it is going to be cool to see what they do with Chuck now that it looks like he might be becoming a rogue agent with his own secret lair and stuff.

To tell you the truth I loved the last season of Chuck but at the same time I could feel that it was winding down a bit at least in some of the middle episodes.   Although I loved the paris episodes I would not have been surprised if it had been cancelled although I might have been tainted a bit because I follow the ratings for shows a lot.

Anyways I do like how they left it and I think it could breathe new life into the series.  I wish it all the luck in the world it is good quality television. MORGAN GRIMES FOREVER MAN!! WOOT!!

Chuck Season 4 - Promo - The Wait is Over

I liked the season opener quite a bit.  Lots of fun "Chuck" style moments in it too.  Cool to see the guest stars they had in this one.  Hope we get to see more of them.  Especially Olivia Munn....

[ElfManDan]

I really enjoyed the return, I'm so glad Chuck is back. And all the guest stars in the episode, anybody else notice that the repo man was Brett from Alien (Harry Dean Stanton), apparently as I found he was in a movie called Repo Man I would assume that's were the reference came from though I've never seen it, but I did recognize him from Alien.

[Rico]

Yep, good old Harry Dean Stanton.  Has he always looked crazy?  LOL!  It was a good start to the season.  Dolph saying "I must break you" was fun too!

[Jobydrone]

Harry Dean Stanton on Chuck?  Wow...this guy is one of the best actors in the world, and has always enjoyed the respect of major film critics.  He played a total crazy man in a great role on the HBO show Big Love (recently deceased unfortunately but seems to continue to return in flashbacks and ghostly sequences as he haunts his equally insane son), which I don't recall being discussed here but is one of my favorite continuing series currently.

[Rico]

There are a lot of film celebs turning up more and more on TV.  Matt Damon is guesting again on "30 Rock" this week (great series too).  It's fun to see people like this on weekly TV too.

Here's some cool news!

It's not a back nine pickup, but as far as welcome Chuck news goes I'll happily take it: Summer Glau has signed on to guest star as the show's newest Greta!

The Sarah Connor Chronicles siren and EW Sexiest Beast finalist has been tapped to play the Buy More's rotating undercover agent in this season's eighth episode, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Other upcoming Gretas include Stacy Keibler and Isaiah Mustafa. Olivia Munn originated the role in Monday's season premiere (and was hilarious).

Glau will next appear opposite David Lyons in NBC's midseason drama The Cape.

Thought this was a cool little poster for "Chuck."

Is it just me, or was that one Buy More dude in the most recent episode the actor who did all those Old Spice Commercials?  

If that isn't him, I'm losing it then....

Yep.  More guest stars this week like last.  Also Lou Ferringo too!  The old TV Incredible Hulk.
