>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

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.

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 didn’t get my glasses in time so I have to watch CHUCK in regular blurry TV This is so sad!

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 love Chuck. I hope that they get more viewers. Is a great show with a great cast.

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.

By: bobbob

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 CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =-(

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.

I found the 3D glasses at the Schnucks supermarket in St. Louis. They had lots!!!

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.

Based on the list of locations to obtain the glasses huge areas of the US have been left out of the fun

I received my 3D glasses today. They were sent UPS Next Day Air.

Target will have a demo agent/worker going into the store that day and working the store for SoBe water, along with passing the glasses out. The glasses go to the demo workers, NOT target. THEY (demo workers) bring them to the store, the store does not have them. Check with your local Target and ask if they have on their ‘event’ calendar a ‘SoBe’ water demo on Sat from 12-4. If so, that agent has 400 pair! I, in fact have 400 pairs and I will be passing these out from 12-4 in the Palm Springs area. We have 3 stores within a 15 mile radius. They were delivered to all of us Monday.

I just called the number and was told that due to the overwhelming response, there’s no guarantee that I will receive them.

I wanted to thank whoever mentioned dollar general to find the glasses; i had searched everywhere and low and behold on my way to work today i stopped at dollar general and they had a full display of glasses.

I just ordered some from the number listed. I was told they should arrive in time for the Superbowl.

You know, I wonder how watchable it will be without the glasses. If it’s completely not watchable, this whole stunt will probably end up costing Chuck viewers. Lots of them.

I forgot this was coming up…. I have to see if I can find some of those glasses…

Just in case I can’t find them, will the version put on hulu/nbc.com be available in non-3D?

I got my glasses at KMart today, which had a HUGE pepsi display at the front entrance. I hear Target is also going to have them on Jan 31 right before the superbowl!

There are LOTS of people selling these on eBay. I just order mine for a couple of buck with guaranteed delivery by this weekend.

this will probobly boost chuck’s viewers, but i think that it will be hard for people to actually get the 3-d glasses. its such a great show though!

These are not your typical Anaglyph 3D glasses, they are different and they are called Color Code 3D Glasses. I would get them where ever Pepsi products are sold like NBC suggested or you can order them here http://www.3dstereo.com/viewmaster/gla-cyb.html for 1.50 a pair.

By: Bill Gorman

Bill Gorman — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:44:57 +0000

Barry, it may be too late to call for them now (considering mailing time) but you can call 1-800-646-2904 in order to obtain a pair.

good luck finding them. i drove all over this morning, and none of the stores had heard anything about any 3d displays.

Chuck is on Monday nights. Don’t miss it.

Chuck is one of the best shows on NBC. If you haven’t watched it yet all you need to do is watch a couple of times and your hooked. Just plain entertainment. You don’t have to believe just enjoy

Please go over to zachary-levi.com and sign the “Renew Chuck for a Third Season” Petition. We need NBC to commit and give the fans what they want..which is more CHUCK!

I called them and they DO deliver to Canada. All you need to do is call 1-800-646-2904 and they will send them to your house. Completely free of charge.

Well, I just ordered my 3D glasses for free by calling the number listed in the press release:

1-800-646-2904

I’m not sure they’d deliver glasses to Canada, but it couldn’t hurt to call them.

I hope you guys know that the 3-D glasses are for the Feb.2 CHUCK episode. They’re not just randomly promoting CHUCK…the episode’s gonna be in 3-D so yea..

I just found the display with these glasses in a store! You’ll be surprised to know that the store I found them at was Dollar General. They had a display up for that Sobe LifeWater with a stack of sheets of these 3D glasses. You get 4 pair on a sheet.
