Network NBC, Run 2007-2012, Starring Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Julia Ling, Bonita Friedericy. A love-letter to nerd culture, Chuck, throughout its run, possessed one of the most vocal and dedicated fanbases on the web, the efforts of which allowed it to come to a natural end in 2012 after five seasons on the air. Describable as a spy-action-romance-comedy-drama, Chuck focuses on the titular character, a computer technician, whose mind becomes the only copy of the American governments secrets database in existence, forcing him to become a spy and use his knowledge to thwart an assortment of threats, quickly falling in love with his handler as he tries to hide his newfound double life from his friends and family. Notable for its diverse array of guest stars, who ranged in nature from Timothy Dalton to Steve Austin, the show faced an uncertain future after the conclusion of its second season. Fans coordinated a campaign to have Subway, a major beneficiary of product placement on the series, help to fund a third, before it received unlikely renewals (in comparison to other shows with similar ratings) for a fourth and fifth season. The fifth season was the last, ending somewhat ambiguously, but giving closure to fans across the world whod gone head over heels to keep the shows cast of loveable characters on the air.
