Best Present Ever: "Chuck" Season Three Press Kit Arrives

I don't normally write about press kits but then again very few networks send out that many kick-ass press kits.

Until now.

Perhaps taking a page from the new butt-kicking abilities of one Mr. Chuck Bartowski, NBC has sent out what might just be the very coolest press kit ever for Season Three of Chuck, which returns to the lineup (finally!) next month.

In addition to a screener containing the first five episodes of Chuck's third season, the massive press kit--emblazoned with a Top Secret label and the words "from the desk of General Beckman" on the top--also came with a voice changer, sunglasses, and a spy kit, all very appropriate accoutrements for the upcoming third season. (Also included: a hysterical note from series creators/executive producers Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak.)

As for the episodes themselves, I can't wait to see just what's in store for our favorite band of spies when the series returns in January with its much-anticipated third season. Look for a review as soon as I'm able to screen.

This message will self-destruct in 30 seconds.

Season Three of Chuck launches Sunday, January 10th at 9 pm ET/PT before it moves into its regular timeslot of Mondays at 8 pm on January 11th.
