This season, Chuck is in luck. Intersect II is ready for espionage service. And that means the old Intersect (Chuck) can go back to his old life. But if Chuck goes, he’s gone: Casey has orders to off him. In the series called “TV’s funniest comedy” by EW.com, Chuck survives to unravel mysteries of the past, become a hero in the present, and – in a stunner of a season finale – chop-and-drop himself into an even more perilous future!

Are you kidding me? I bought the first season the day it came out for $27 dollars. It was essentially half a season due to the writer’s strike. Now this season, 22 episodes (not even twice as many) is listed as $72?!?! Its ridiculous! I know this isn’t Amazon’s fault, its Universal being greedy, but its still an outrage!
Let me come out and say that on air, Chuck season 2 was GREAT! The full season really gave the actors (both main and background) time to really shine and the story to expand. Its the price that gets the bad review here, not the product.
* I have updated my review now that the price has come down. Worth the $40 or so that it is now. I’m not an unreasonable person here.

Aproximately 5 of the 22 episodes are very good. I cannot admit to enjoying the comedy, romance and action in the complete series of season 2. You basically care about Sarah Walker and Chuck to the point you want good things to happen in their romance. They have both had very difficult times growing up-particularly Sarah. Unfortunately the normal course of the romance is heartache and disappointment. The heartache overwhelms the comedy and adventure–how can you smile about people going through pain. Many viewers will say there is so much more to enjoy–fine, let Sarah and Chuck pursue the evil doers as a committed couple and then the good times will roll. This perceived pain is referred to as “angst” and many viewers (posters on other websites) mention the angst factor as being a major negative to the enjoyment of the show. Knowing the new season (season 3) is most likely going to be filled with love triangles and more of the same unfulfilled love as seasons 1 and 2 may be indicative of some creative shortcomings and makes me very concerned about the upcoming season 3. Some guest stars hired as a hook trying to get new viewers in hopes of a 4th season is lame. The cast of regulars can easily carry the show without adding new faces for the purpose of setting back the romance of Sarah Walker and Chuck. Bringing in talent for one or two episodes to be the bad guy’s is really all that is required. I understand Law and Orders Harmon is being brought in as an evil doer which makes me feel good about at least one episode. Refugees from the last Superman Movie and Smallville for purposes of generating alternate love interests will merely intensify the heartache and take away from any otherwise positive attributes of the show. I have cancelled my order of Chuck Season Two on Blue Ray and have retained an order for the regular cheaper DVD of Chuck Season 2.This show has great potential–it is up to the creators of the show (Fedak and Schwartz) to make or break the show. New viewers will be needed to make a 4th season possible. I am rooting for the show to improve and the complete set of all seasons would be worthwhile.Chuck: The Complete Second Season

This version does not contain the 3D episode.
The Limited Edition contains: Chuck 3D Comic, 3D glasses and the 3D episode.
This is not the Limited Edition which I bought on the first day release sale at Best Buy for the same price.

The further adventures of Chuck, the accidental spy, are very funny. Chuck and his friends, family, and teammates manage to survive close squeaks with death in entertaining ways. Adam Baldwin is still much like his character, Jane, from Firefly and Serenity. Very enjoyable.

Chuck was one of NBC’s “on the bubble shows”. Fans need to show their support for it by buying its merchandise, but how can we when it’s so OVERPRICED. $72?? Are you serious? It was listed at $51.99 a few weeks ago when it first listed and I thought that was too high for this. The price needs to come down quite a lot before I will buy this, even though I really want to get it. Chuck is a great show and I will be waiting anxiously.
