"Chuck" shouldn't have worked. Despite its pedigree -- co-creator Josh Schwartz also created "The O.C." -- the story of a hapless tech-support nerd (Zachary Levi) whose brain is suddenly flooded with government secrets seemed a bit close to little-watched "Jake 2.0." Instead, the series found a perfect mix of cast chemistry, comedy and action.

Just in time for the show's second season, the first season is available on a four-disc set with all 13 first-season episodes, plus some special features (see below), plus the standard gag reel and "declassified" (deleted and alternate) scenes.

DVD Bonus Features:

The Good: "Chuck on Chuck" sits down stars Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez with co-creators Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz to go over each person's favorite scenes from the first season. The four have a great time cracking each other up, but still manage to provide a good look behind the scenes. Also good is the "Chuck's World" series of character studies and audition video.

The Bad: What's with the lack of commentary tracks? "Chuck on Chuck" shows what great rapport the cast and creators have, and it'd be great to see that for full episodes. "Chuck's Online World" -- four quick featurettes -- only serve to show how much better the secondary characters are when not working alone.
