A lot of people have been complimenting pay television on sticking to their schedules, compared to free to air networks. But FOX8 has announced a delay in the start of Chuck -originally due to air January 21st.
There is no new date for the series about a guy who learns he has government spy secrets embedded in his brain.
FOX8 indicates the series, which it purchased from Nine, will now air later in the year.
“Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause,” said a brief statement.
It will be replaced by the second season of Kyle XY.

Who makes the decisions??? Get rid of all the monotonous reality shows that are all the same, and the police shows, that are all the same and give us more quirky fun tv, like Chuck, Big Bang Theory & Eureka!
Chuck now shows on GO! Wednesdays at 8.30pm, they’re showing Season 1, just hope they do better than Fox8, and Kyle XY has been cancelled after Season 3 and Fox8 has aired Season 3 already! I don’t know if people are behind or something, but Kyle XY has sadly been cancelled
Was a good show, but I absolutely Love Chuck, FOX8 hurry up with Season 3 the first 13 episodes are really epic!!
come on fox 8 bring chuck series 3 to air soon
come on fox 8 chuck its awesome u wll gain viewres does anyone know when its will be on during he year
come on fox 8 bring back chuck season 3 if fantaic have seen the first 13 episodes it just gets better now i have to wait shame on you fox 8 give it back to nine let them show it from the start and then fast tarck it here
just bring back chuck sooner the better
maybe they could cut back on the amount of simpsons episodes they show a day to an even four ….. would make plenty of room for both shows
if channel 9 had of kept chuck chuck would be heaps more poupular
I Love Kyle XY!!!!!! when is the 3rd season starting in Australia does anyone know? cant wait to see what happens next!!!
ive seen both chuck and kyle xy online
there both good but
chuck has everything u want in a show
guns, fight scenes , hot woman
omg c’mon
They’re only delaying Chuck because Kyle XY is doing well and people wants to see what happens next. I don’t think that FOX8 changing its schedual will be a usual occurance.
I love Kyle XY so I’m glad they are continuing with it. But what happened to supernatural??? Did they replace it with that Sarah conner chronicles thing??
I’m confused..Kyle XY is on Thursday nights, so it wouldn’t replace it..It would replace the new American Idol crapola.
Kyle XY is really rather good, so it’s good to know that the show is being given the right treatment. Chuck will be my next must-watch for Fox 8.
But they should move some of the poor reality shows out of the channgel. Dog the Bounty Hunter could go to CI, Ice Road Truckers could go Bio.
I’ve already watched both Season 1 & all of the current TV series! Sometimes it is just easier to get the shows online when the AU TV companies don’t keep their promises!
I’m pissed off now!
Just got this weeks TV Guide and it has a double page spread advertising Chuck “Series Premiere” Wed at 8:30pm Fox8.
What a waste!
Now is there some issue airing it, or did something along the times of, they just realised they were starting all their shiny new show purchases at the start of the year, and then would have nothing new for later on in the year?
It’d be nice for networks to actually give a reason to these things. Especially seeing Chuck is one of the best shows around these days.
Still a long way to go in the second season Dimitriak.
Second season of Kyle XY has been airing on Fox for monoths now, maybe thay re going ahead with the 3rd season?
FOX8 did this with the premier of the brilliant Friday Night Lights as well but it turned up a few months later
I say good on them for continuing with the 2nd season of Kyle XY. Really they don’t have enough time in their schedule – Foxtel could stand to split FOX8 up into a couple of channels – like in the UK where they have Sky1, Sky2 and Sky3.
Chuck looks like a good show and all but nothing could replace Kyle XY!!! It’s the best show ever!! I was a bit confused because I thought FOX8 were going to take Kyle XY off the air but they arn’t which is good!!! And what’s with FOX8 replacing the new season of Supernatural with Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles??? That’s just stupid!!!
Sorry to hear about the delay but since I also watch Kyle XY I still get to watch something on Wednesdays 8:30.
New Zealand has the region 4 DVD.
I am a fan of Kyle XY and and happy to hear it is returning to the schedule. With the FTA stations coming out of non-ratings there is going to be alot of quality TV. Maybe time to invest in a TIVO.
Chuck isn’t on DVD locally yet, not that it affect me since I’m up-to-date with the US.
Yes something to needs to go to give Chuck a chance in this country, it’s a great show to just veg out and enjoy.
Kyle XY is actually a very good show…from someone who has seen the first season of both shows, I reckon Kyle is the superior option. Then again they could always free up the schedule by giving some of the reality shows a boot as Jason said
Can you buy Chuck on DVD in Australia yet or must we import?
That kinda sucks – Fox8 should drop their reality content – shows like Ice Road Truckers or Dog the Bounty Hunter could go to Bio or CI – that would give Fox8 more available slots to program
Not that it affects me, but why is there a delay?
So Chuck was going to replace Kyle XY, this is not good. Looks like either Fox8 is learning bad lessons from the FTA networks or they just have too much content to air it all right now.
This is not good news
