Chuck is an American action-comedy/spy-drama television series created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" named Chuck, played by Zachary Levi, who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The message embeds the only remaining copy of a software program containing the United States' greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain.
Produced by College Hill Pictures, Fake Empire Productions, Wonderland Sound and Vision, and Warner Bros. Television, the series premiered on September 24, 2007, on NBC, airing on Monday nights at 8:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. Central.
As the second season finished, flagging ratings put Chuck in danger of cancellation, but fans mounted a successful campaign to encourage NBC to renew the show. The campaign was unique in that fans specifically targeted a sponsor of the show, the Subway restaurant chain, leading to the chain striking a major sponsorship deal with NBC to help cover costs of the third season. The series' renewal was uncertain in each subsequent season. The fifth season was the last, beginning on October 28, 2011 and moving to Friday nights at 8 p.m./7 Central. The series concluded on January 27, 2012 with a two-hour finale.

Havin' fun in my grey motel tonight
Gotta lot to say, and I wanna know if it's right
'Cause when the system shuts down
There will be nothing left to do but fight
But I gotta plan
To take a stand
And do it all over again
Just the system of education
Proud crowd owns the fate of the nation
I can't live up to their expectations
I'm on a permanent vacation
I see my shadow shinin' in the blue patrol car light
It seems like every time I gotta go out, I gotta get in a fight
Rolled up in the gutter and the blood red fills my eyes
