Yup, I updated this in my Pilot Season Arrival thread earlier today, it was the first official pickup for the network. You should probably copy and paste the announcement I listed in my thread so people will have all the available info on the show, as well as photos of the two stars.

First look at the Undercovers. Now is it just me or do you think Chuck and the Undercovers would make a great back to back Monday night lineup??

NBC Monday spy night done right!

She was in one of my favorite British shows, "Spooks"

I don't really remember her from there though. Don't thinks he was one of the main characters.

I could have sworn I read a post from you a while back hoping that they didn't put them on back to back when Undercovers starts.

I said that? Hmmm, maybe. Well if I said that on a Tuesday or Friday, it was one of my Blue Meth days, so I was high. But I recall saying that they better not replace Chuck with Undercovers, not about them putting em on back to back, don't know why I would of had a problem with that, but like I said, Blue Meth.

Looks like JJ directed the pilot and according to the news report it cost close to $10 million for the pilot alone. So this should be good. I can't wait.

As long as NBC renews Chuck then I will give this show a chance. Otherwise NBC is off my viewing list forever!

STARSCREAM · 05-04-2010, 04:36 PM

It seems like it's Chuck meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I also agree that they better NOT replace Chuck with this!

I just find the premise a little odd timing, considering this almost seems like where Chuck season 4 was heading. I've started to feel like it was going to have a Mr. and Mrs. Smith vibe. Two spies in love, living together and possibly getting married. Sounds exactly like this show.

It's possible you are right even though I still think you did, but no big deal either way. If you didn't say it, then maybe I was on some Blue Meth too.

Chuck and Undercovers would be a great fit back to back, but Undercovers instead of Chuck would be

. Hopefully it doesn't come to that as I would like to give this show a chance.

It just seems to me, like I stated in the Chuck thread earlier that the Undercovers though, seems exactly how I imagine Season 4 to shape up for Chuck. A Mr. and Mrs. Smith type of angle with two spies in love living together. I hope they end up very different and that these shows air back to back, not one instead of the other. But it is almost mid-May so the upfronts will all be known in the next two weeks.

I agree that they the way Chuck is shaping up to be and what Undercovers sounds like are pretty similar, but we'll see. As far as the upfronts go, the wait to see if Chuck gets renewed again doesn't seem as bad as last year. Maybe Chuck getting a late start helped. Last year, it was rough.

Here’s an extended sneak peek (about five minutes worth) of J.J. Abrams’s new spy-comedy show “Undercovers”, his follow-up to his spy hit “Alias”. The show definitely seems to be going for a combination of laughs and action, so you probably shouldn’t expect any real danger for the show’s married couple leads. Starring Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the CIA husband-and-wife team who comes back to work to spice up their marriage (what, marriage therapy not dangerous enough?), and Gerald McRaney as their humorless boss. I gotta admit, though, props to Abrams for casting two African-American actors in the lead; now that’s something you don’t see everyday on Mostly Whitebread America TV.

From acclaimed filmmaker J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe, Lost, Alias) and Executive Producer Josh Reims (Brothers and Sisters) comes a one-hour spy drama that proves marriage is still the world’s most dangerous partnership.
To put the spark back in their marriage, some couples take a tropical vacation. Not Steven and Samantha. They rejoin the CIA. Now they’re discovering things about each other they never knew. Like which lock-picking technique each prefers, and who killed who, and how well they work together in a hostile environment.

With their day jobs and lives in the balance, date night is about to get a lot more exciting.

Check source for Video Link.

Enjoy.

Wow, that 5 minute extended preview was WAY better than the promo clips we saw a few weeks back. I actually thought the show looks a lot better than initially based on first impression. But my god that chick is hot! Her backside is Legen.......are you ready for it.........dary.

I decided that after I was massively wrong about The Big Bang Theory, I should give HIMYM a chance too. The only thing I even enjoy about the show is NPH who frickin rules as Barney, and Cobie as Robyn cause she is gorgeous! I don't really find anybody else' characters interesting, and Ted is such a whiny little girl missing his sack entirely that he makes Leonard seem studly, lol. So between the two BBT is my favorite big time, but I've only watched one season of HIMYM and finished it yesterday, though I don't see it getting much better, but I'm willing to be wrong.

Season 2 and 3 are fantastic, and season 4 has it's moments. Specifically The Naked Man which is my favorite of the series.

Barney becomes essentially the main character in season 3 or so.

An I LOVE Alyson. I'm a big Buffy fan.
