CHUCK Gets Some Casting News & Some Great News

Do you miss Chuck Bartowski?  Yeah, me too, but we’re going to have to wait until September 29th to have Chuck and his cohorts back.  I know it seems like a long ways away but I promise it will be here before you know it.  But to help pass the time how about I pass a long a little CHUCK scoop…will that help?

As was first reported by Michael Ausiello, CHUCK is adding a few more names to its already kick ass line up of guest stars this season.  Morgan Fairchild and Bruce”The Scarecrow” Boxleitner will be guesting as Mr. & Mrs. Awesome  – the parents of Ryan McPartlin’s Captain Awesome. How awesome?  (Sorry I have no will power, I just had to)

And file this under news that just make me giddy –  Ausiello reports that Carl Lumbly will be coming on board as a”sensei” to NSA agent Casey, played by Adam Baldwin. Dixon!! You know I love me my ALIAS peeps.  I’m pushing for Michael Vartan to guest next.  Zachary Levi & Michael Vartan sharing screen time.  Yeah…it’s too sweet to even imagine.

And now for some really fantastic news for all of us CHUCK fans – a little birdie just dropped me a line to share the news that CHUCK has already received the order for the back 9 episodes of the season.  That means that NBC has officially picked up CHUCK for a full 22 episode season!  Can I get ‘holla’!  Picking up the back 9 before the second season even premieres is a huge vote of confidence from NBC.  Kudos to  Chuck and friends!
