This is pure conjecture, but a plausible (?) explanation for the double airing:

I heard that Apprentice is not getting good ratings despite the celebrity cast. Could it be that they are using newcomer and hit-show, CHUCK, to help boost ratings for Apprentice?
Perhaps by airing a new CHUCK episode before and after, they're hoping viewers will stick around for Apprentice in-between.
If that's the case, it doesn't look good for Apprentice.

Every reality show that's off the air makes my day just a little bit brighter.

I believe American Gladiators is now in Chuck's timeslot so they wanted to see how it would do on Thursdays (and in turn attract people to Celebrity Apprentice). However, LOST and Supernatural return on Thursday, January 31, so they are making sure to get done with Chuck before that.

Sigh I really liked Chuck...and Adam is fantastic. Though there are more than a few "Jayne" moments too... :)

It might have helped had they aired a good Chuck episode prior to Apprentice.

I liked both episodes, but, the first was a little lacking, and Chuck himself was wildly out of character.

Also, I don't really like Casey with any romantic tie ups. He's at his best when he's antagonizing everyone around him, especially Chuck.

The episode where Chuck blows his car up...f'n priceless, man!

What I like about Adam in Chuck is all the subtle firefly tips of the hat that he manages to work in. One earlier episode he made a statement something like "what, is she going to hurt me with her mind" ! That was priceless, but not the only one. The way he worked "shiny" into the conversation that took place when he was washing his car, you could tell that word was chosen on purpose. An in the first of the 2 episodes last night, when he was about to ring the neck of Morgan, he said something like "If you mention her name again, I will end you !". No way that "will end you" line would be placed into the dialog if not for the intentional Firefly reference (Mal in Safe - "by my pretty floral bonnet, if you hand touches metal, I will end you").

Adam really likes to do this. He also did this kind of thing in his last short-lived series Daybreak, where he made a statement about watching some space western tv show over the weekend while talking with his police colleagues, or some situation like that. Great to see how much the cast still shows love for Firefly whenever they get the chance.

We all know the entire cast loves Firefly. Personally I think Adam loves it as much as the most insane fan.

I enjoyed both episodes tonight(ROFL Last night... I'm loopy today). The first one did have one or two moments where Chuck was maybe overacting a little but to say he was out of character wasn't really fair. For one thing I wasn't aware you were involved in the writing and directing of the series? Also it's always been the tone of the series to go a little overboard, though this particular one went a bit further than usual. And really if they put the best episode on first it would reward all the idiots who didn't stick with it. Or only watched last night for the Apprentice. Either way I loved them both and laughed my ass off when they went out the window. Even though that was sooooo predictable. Still it was hilarious. Also I loved seeing Adam in love. Seriously he gets typecast as the brooding, dark, violent, antagonistic tough-guy so much he needs to get a little bit of romance on screen! Sure he plays those characters better than any other actor out there right now but everyone needs a little love.

Well here's to a short, desirable end to the strike so we can get more Chuck, Morgan, Sarah, John, Ellie, Awesome, Big Mike and the rest of the goofy lovable gang.

I loved both episodes. Over-the-top is what I love about CHUCK.
I think they may be trying to add depth to Casey. After all, the longevity of their show will depend on their ability to add multiple layers to their characters. Otherwise it might get stale.
Not many shows make me laugh out loud like CHUCK.
Great lines:

Select to view spoiler:

Casey swings Chuck around to kick a Russian mobster. Fraidy-cat Chuck says, "How ya like me now?"

And how 'bout their little nod to all us 80's children:

Select to view spoiler:

Ellie wakes up to find Morgan in her bed. Morgan yells, "Damn, Ma! I got my headgear on!"

I remember when Anthony Michael Hall was everyone's favorite geek. Not everyone's favorite brooding psychic.

I can't wait for Chuck to return.

I like him too but I never really liked the Dead Zone. He's ok in it but a couple of the actors are so bad I'd rather have my wisdom teeth taken out again.

Anyway I love this show and every single thing about it. I have yet to see something and think "oh that was sorta stupid." It's not always perfect but it's one of my favorite shows. In the top five definitely.

What was the deal with those episodes? Chuck hasn't been on for over two months and then we get two shows on the same night???

Does that seem right to you?
