"Chuck" fans have eaten a lot of Subway sandwiches and mounted a four-year-long campaign to keep the action-comedy on the air.
So though tonight's fifth season premiere kicks off what is also the show's final season, faithful viewers will be happy to know that series producers Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak seem to be plotting "Chuck's" final run as one big payoff for Chuck Bartowski devotees.

Chuck (Zachary Levi) and his former spy handler Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) are now married and out of the government spy game. They have launched their own spy-for-hire firm with pal John Casey (Adam Baldwin). Also on board is new Intersect Morgan (Joshua Gomez), who Chuck hopes to keep safe.
The first case pits them against a slick, wealthy thief (Mark Hamill) and wily investor (Craig Kilborn), the first of many season five guests.
And, since Chuck now owns the Buy More, we're still going to be seeing Big Mike, Jeff and Lester.
"Chuck" returns tonight at 8/7c p.m. on NBC.
