Just a review of the series overall, not the packaging
Chuck was, especially in the first couple seasons, an awesome show. It was a mix of action, comedy and drama. It was sometimes totally preposterous and over-the-top, but it never took itself too seriously. For people who have a hard time suspending their disbelief, this is not a show for you. The entire premise of a guy getting government secrets beamed into his head, and then having a CIA and NSA handler accompany him through weekly adventures is not even remotely realistic. If you can get beyond that however and just be entertained by a funny, well-acted show you should give this a shot.
Chuck was really only 4 seasons long. The first was cut short by the writer's strike and the 5th was only a 13 episode season. It was a show that was always teetering on the brink of cancellation. but managed to survive. The die hard fans may remember that it came out the same year as the Bionic Woman reboot which NBC promoted constantly. This is the show that should have been...
The Chuck Boxset isn't worthy of the series
SPOILER ALERT (if you've not seen the entire series) AHEAD
I really loved the Chuck series.
The story of Charles Irving Bartowski and his girlfriend turned wife Sarah Walker and their friends and family tickled the funny-bone and told a fine story about family, friends and obligation. While the show didn't change lives, it did change how we looked about the way we support our favorite shows.
Chuck was always teetering on the brink of cancellation and the die-hard fans of the show not only wrote NBC to keep the show on the air but they also spent their money supporting the sponsors of the show. This and cost-cutting moves by the producers of the show made it financial feasible to keep Chuck on the air. We bout Chuck merchandise and the DVDs and Blurays. A very creative fan posted the unofficial Chuck Soundtrack along with CD art for the rest of us to assemble.
So, with many of the Chucksters already owning all 5 seasons on DVD/Bluray, WB...
Your kidding right?????????????
Ok lets start off by identifying who your market is. We are DIE HARD FANS!!!!! Do you really think that we will be satisfied by you just bundling all the separate seasons together and giving us a discount!?!?!?! What is wrong with you WB?!?!?! This is how you want to reward the fans that petitioned, went to Subway, and basically followed the series like junkies?!?!
You didnt even take the time to make a simple box to put the discs in with some arts on it. It is the lowest of the low way of presenting a series that we have come to love and cherish. I have been staring at this page daily for the last month and a half waiting to see what you would do. If you were going to change the picture and show us something that was worthy of OUR show. I even did the same thing with the WB page, and same thing;
You could have done anything, you could have made a cheap box, you could have even put them all in a single case. Or you could have done what we all expected and hoped...
