For all of the questions in the past over whether or not it would continue, "Chuck" is a great TV series. It follows an average gamer/geek named Chuck Bartowski who is inadvertently drawn into the shadowy world of global espionage when an series of events end with him having a CIA supercomputer stuck in his head. Best described as a drama/comedy, the show follows Bartowski as he attempts to juggle his personal life with the spy game, which has been an increasing presence in his life through three seasons.
I spoke last week with Ryan McPartlin, who plays Chuck's brother-in-law Devon -- aka Captain Awesome -- on the show. This season has been an interesting one for Devon, as he's the first in Chuck's circle of family and friends to learn of his secret other life. McPartlin is just about to wrap shooting on this third season. During our interview he refused to spill any of his fictional brother-in-law's secrets, but he did promise that something big will go down. Read More...

In 2009, we tried something new here on MTV Movies Blog. There's an abundance of television programming these days built around season-long and multi-season story arcs. The small-screen viewing experience is different of course -- no event blockbusters, 3-D (well... once, on "Chuck," and it was meh) or anything like that -- but a well-told tale is a hard thing to ignore. That's why we started covering a few shows with recaps, interviews and the like.

For "Lost" fans, today is the day. The last time to gather 'round the water cooler and discuss the previous night's episode and the story's deeper implications. While the dialogue surrounding the latter will surely continue for some time, last night marked the final episode of "Lost." There will be no more.
Whatever you think of the show's quality, there's no denying that it was a powerful work of television, something that for whatever reason lodged itself in the public's consciousness. It was more than just a story-- it was a sensation. Now that it's over, you might be tempted to just turn the TV off and go outside.
Don't do it. There's still good television to be had. A lot of it is off the air now, or soon will be, as we ease into summer schedules. But that's fine. Anything that's already running, you're going to want to catch up on what you've not seen before diving in with any new episodes. Read More...
