NBC’s Chuck takes a jab at microsoft’s zune
by Justin Horn on Oct 28th, 2008 @ 2:07 am
Well anyone that has watched Chuck knows there is a very heavy apple influence in the show. Chuck has been using an iPhone since the beginning. It seems he is still stuck with a 1st gen iPhone, but still better than no iPhone.

Ok, on to the microsoft jab…
At one point Chuck is trying to beat a video game to get some code to control a satellite that is somehow going to launch missiles (yeah, I know, but still a decent show). So apparently listening to Rush helps you beat this game so he ask his coworker at the buy more if there are any Rush CDs on the shelf…
Chuck “Morgan, hey, uh, buddy do we carry any rush cds in the store?”
Morgan “No need I got’em all on my Zune”
Chuck “You have a Zune?”
Morgan “Are you kidding me, no, no, I’ll grab my iPod”
Makes you wonder if apple has any kind of sponsorship deal or if the writers are just apple fans???

I laughed pretty good when I heard this on Chuck last night; in fact I twittered it! http://twitter.com/kfordham281/status/978254369
I didn’t know you could embed Chuck clips like that. Looks like I’ll have to check out Hulu. Thanks!
looks like he has a 3G iPhone in that clip.
Yeah, I noticed that was going to write another post on that. In the beginning of the episode (pictured above) he has a first gen and then in the end it is definitely a 3g..strange.

Apple is very well regarded in the entertainment field.It has to do with design people in TV Theatre and movies know what good design in and recognize the little touches in the machines and iPod and iPhone. Thats why you see Apple represented well on most TV shows.
