Aha I saw the boing ball whilst watching but not the A1000 or the Guru Meditation. Blimey you people must have watched it in HD!

Anyway if you skip back to 30:14 out of 42:22 when he opens the door to the room you will see two 10" black CRT monitors or old old Sony Trinitron TVs on the metal racks. One shows the boing ball the other shows a different Wb 1.x screen.

Does the Mac show a bomb like that? If it doesn't then that's a link to the Atari ST too.

Someone who knows that the mid 80s had bugger all to do with 8086PCs when it came to cool machines obviously is involved with that show :)


Guilty...HD makes it much easier to see what's in the background and, I'm sure, gives fits to the folks who dress the sets.

The old Mac bomb looks real to me.  Most likely done with Hypercard as a simple animation.

Most of Hollywood did something on the Amiga if they had special effects after the Toaster arrived....even before that actually.  I remember a number of late '80s shows that used Amigas.  Scott Backula, who plays Chuck's dad, had a show called Quantum Leap which had some Amiga graphics occassionally.

There's likely a bunch of old computers in some warehouse in LA waiting for rental...

I agree, this show has improved.  I watched during the first season and didn't like it.  Came back this season and got hooked.    Now I've got to check out Jake 2.0 it seems!  Thanks for the tip JimS!


No prob... you'll have to look for it though... it's canceled, but they sometimes run a block of episodes in the daytime. The plot was this... "Jake" was a nebbish tech support guy at the CIA. The bad guys attack while he's in a secret lab reinstalling windoze or something. Gunplay ensues, beakers shattered & Jake is infested with nanites that do the superhero bit.... They even had the bit about the software messing with his sanity...

LOL... Caught the GURU Meditation but didn't notice the Boing Ball or the A1000.  I was too busy laughing about the Mac 128k being the original  Intersect.


I know.  A B&W intersect?   I guess it's text mode only.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

The Mac is just acting as the dumb terminal though, like the old WYSE terminals in mainframe days ;)

I like Chuck, although season 3 has probably been the weakest, I think 2 was my favourite.

I noticed the blinking Guru meditation on top left... but missed the bong ball! Would be nice to know who was behind this.. three Amiga-related things in half a minute can't be coincidence :)

My wife and I Love Chuck... it's an awesome show, the finale was Great!!!  I didn't realize there was a Amiga 1000 there either... I was more into the part where Morgan & Devin were trying to figure out how to rescue the bunch and sent that rocket flying... AWESOME!!!
