Line 65:
** Seasons 3 & 4 both received 13 episode orders, before receiving a full season order later on. The problem is that this only happened whilst the intended season finale was in production, leading to the seasons having a somewhat disjointed feel ** In the UK, Sky decided they didn't want to purchase the rights to show the fifth & final season of the show, and it's not likely someone else will purchase the rights for ''just'' the final season since Sky still own the rights to (And show, for that matter) the first four seasons. [[Replacement Scrappy|But it's okay, because Sky have several new shows that they're sure you'll enjoy]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Apparently Devon (Captain Awesome) was supposed to be a limited character who was supposed to turn out to be an enemy operative towards the end of season one. However his popularity led to the idea being dropped and Awesome becoming a series regular. The idea was recycled into Jill and re-recycled into an arc in season 3 where The Ring ''thinks'' Devon is the resident spy in the Bartowski family.▼
** According to [http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2008/09/chuck-chuck-vs-first-date-i-used-to-be.html a discussion Alan Sepinwall had with the creators], they were originally going to try and hire [[Chuck Norris]] to play a major villain (most likely Leader from "Chuck Versus the Gravitron") in an episode that could only be titled "Chuck Versus Chuck."
** The way seasons 3 and 4 were picked up by NBC, with an initial order for 13 episodes, followed by a back 6 and back 11 (respectively) picked up when already in production, affected the way the storylines unfolded. Had the full season orders been made from the start, the first half plot would have extended over the full season instead. The back episodes of both seasons would have then formed the foundation of seasons 4 and 5, respectively.
*** Related to this, Fedak and Schwartz would have explored concepts like Chuck without the Intersect in season 4 more thoroughly (though this did get to be examined in season 5)
** Chuck allows Jill to escape at the end of season 2, complete with a diamond engagement ring used for part of the cover, and her fate is never addressed for the rest of the series. Word of God is that she would have been brought Back for the Finale, but they ran out of time and money for it.
