>I called the toll free number for the glasses and was told I would have my glasses before Chuck aired in 3D, I am still waiting for my glasses to arrive and Chuck was on 3 days ago.

@Susan. I just called the number. They aren’t sending any more out. The grocery stores near us don’t have any.

From the sounds of it, we won’t be missing much…sad that we’ve been saving Chuck on our Tivo, trying to find the damn glasses before watching it.

Got a headache, a monstruous headache using these new tech 3d glasses.
I think the old style polarizers are still the best

Walter, i’d say like 80% of the episode doesn’t have a 3-D effect on it, and the other 20% with the effect is barely noticeable without glasses. And honestly, you aren’t missing a whole heck of a lot if you don’t have the glasses. It was sort of cool, and I feel like it’s the best they could do with it, but the episode itself was good enough, 3-D or not.

I am angry about the Chuck season opener being in 3D. Until there is some agreed upon standard with a standard 3D pair of classes that I can buy and make comfortable, I not interested in 3D. I didn’t even know about the free 3D glasses or the Super Bowl Ad because I don’t watch football or pay much attention to ads, so now I am stuck with an episode, if not rebroadcast in 2D that is not worth watching. Even my son who watches the Super Bowl every year didn’t tell me about anything 3D. Do the producers really think that if I can get the glasses I want an episode I can’t view later from storage media?

I don’t live by TV or read TV guides. We have both a TIVO and a cable DVR, but the TIVO guide description only mentions 3D in the episode title. I only watch free networks occasionally, so I am thinking of no longer watching Chuck, even though I liked the show up until the 3D episode. The producers should have reopened the season the season increment with a 2D Chuck, which advertised the following 3D episode so its loyal viewers would all know about it.

We have watched 3D movies, but always returned the glasses at the end of the show, and the last 3D movie we went to used a different approach than two colored glasses.

I had been a fan of the show, and have been patient through your inconsistent schedule for the last few months, but I have to tell you that this 3D episode was not thought out very well. I have no idea if I like the content of the show, because I have not found any place that even has these 3D glasses, I don’t know that I want to spend an hour of my time with those uncomfortable things on my face and there is no way I am going to try to watch it without glasses with all the halo junk.. I personally don’t even see a story line that 3D works with. I am sure that Tuesday morning will show terrible ratings for Monday evening and quite honestly, you deserve it. Poor planning and follow though with weak idea to begin with. What were you thinking?

This was a stupid gimmick for those of us who didn’t have the time to seek out the glasses.

[...] there are already a variety of 3D videos to choose from, and right now there are approximately a 100 million free 3D glasses on people’s coffee tables from the Super Bowl. Now get out there and do [...]

I have never even heard of the majority of the retailers on that list. If they were really looking for a boost to the ratings of Chuck, they should have made the glasses more widely available.

Glasses still availble at target. Just go to the checkout stand and ask. The checker at my local store had an entire box of them.

I called the nuber a week ago and still havent gotten my glasses. Thaaaanks pepsi! I guess I’ll have to wait for the 2d ep online. This whole 3d thing is totally gonna backfire on Chuck.

I can’t get my hands on a pair of those glasses, and watching the 3D video without the glasses triggered an optical migraine for me. I guess I’ll have to tune out for the 3D stuff.

I doubt this is going to do anything for Chuck’s ratings. If anything, it might actually hurt the ratings since people have to jump through hoops to get a hold of the special colorcode3D technology 3D glasses. At least if they were standard red and blue you could make your own with a couple of sharpies and some clear plastic. I still haven’t found a pair for myself and I’m only just now discovering there’s an 800 number to call. I hope the episode looks OK without the glasses because I know I won’t have them in time.

If you live in Sacramento, CA, I found the glasses at the Safeway at the corner of Madison and Hazel, the display is in the front of the store near the customer service desk. The store is fairly new and not heavily shopped.

Indeed, I am wondering whether the 3-D glasses stunt turns out to be a negative for Chuck. If the episode is unwatchable without the glasses, it could be.
