Are there no Chuck fans out in SC land????

Just finished watching tonight's episode and can't wait for next week! Looks like Chuck and Sarah may finally hook up. But something tells me it's going to be part of a dream or something.

I can't get enough of this show. I hope it has a nice looong run!

Absolutely!!! The last few weeks have been especially good. But I can't get over the fact that Burbank is the mecca of international espionage. That cracks me up.

Chuck and Big Bang Theory are my two favorite shows.

Dude!!!! I was having a serious panic attack on Monday. Everything was happening, the intersect was gone, dad was back, mission was over... I'm like Oh Shit! they're ending the series already!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

It sure as hell felt like a series finale. They better leave a major cliff hanger or two next week in the season finale so we can have something to look forward to next season.

thats what i kept saying!!!! my mom read an article saying that chuck is in danger of being cancelled- i've already written a letter to NBC, i hope this isn't the case. I love this show- it has everything- action, comedy, romance, etc. man they definitely better leave a major cliff hanger! fingers crossed chuck will be back for another season!

Just for you Mr. Psycho.

It happens every season.

NBC's "Chuck," starring Zachary Levi, has inspired fans to launch a vocal campaign to get the show renewed.

Word gets out that a television show is "on the bubble" and may be canceled. The reasons vary, but more often than not, the ratings don't match the adoration of the fans.

Some go gentle into yonder good night, often to the place known as available-only-on-DVD-land.

Yet still others manage to serve as a rallying point for fans and critics alike who have a single, collective message for the networks: SAVE OUR SHOW!

This season, a swirl of programs have generated the "will they or won't they" buzz, including ABC's "Better Off Ted," "Castle" and "Samantha Who?"; CBS' "Without a Trace" and "Eleventh Hour"; and Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Dollhouse."

But perhaps the one getting the most attention is the NBC show "Chuck," which has spawned a "Save Chuck" campaign with fans trying to blog, tweet and even eat sustained life into the series. iReport: What show are you trying to save?

"I watch a lot of TV as a television blogger, but I think that 'Chuck' is a really special show," said Kath Skerry, who helped kick off the movement when she declared it "Chuck week" on her blog, GiveMeMyRemote.com, and temporarily changed its name to "GiveMeMyChuck."

"Chuck" tells the tale of Chuck Bartowski, a computer geek-turned-unlikely government secret agent, and the colorful characters he meets along the way.

Skerry, who also got the word out to her more than 1,000 followers on Twitter, acknowledges that fan campaigns to keep favorite shows alive are as old as the tube itself.

"Star Trek" was saved by letter-writing campaigns in the 1960s. Fans of the drama "Jericho" won the series a temporary reprieve after they sent tons of nuts to CBS executives, a reference to an epithet uttered by a character.

UPN's "Roswell" also had fans to thank for renewal after thousands of bottles of Tabasco sauce -- the show's aliens' condiment of choice -- were delivered to the network's decision-makers.

The explosion of social networking seems to have upped the ante for "Save Chuck" as bloggers, critics and fans have taken to the Web and expressed their love of the show all over Twitter, Facebook and other sites.

"I wanted to do what I could, and the fact that so many bloggers, fans and more traditional TV critics took up the plight got me very excited," Skerry said. "It's a show that the entire family can enjoy, and we don't have many of those left."

Alan Sepinwall, television critic for The Star-Ledger newspaper in New Jersey, added his voice to the roar calling for the renewal of the show for a third season.

He said the show is unique with its blend of romance, action, drama and comedy.

Sepinwall noted that NBC has a lot less prime-time real estate these days with the new Jay Leno show set to debut, but he points out that series like "Seinfeld" were almost canceled multiple times before they found success.

Fans have been smart in their ideas, he said, such as the move to have viewers buy foot-long sandwiches from Subway restaurants before watching Monday's season finale and leave comment cards letting the sponsor know they want the show brought back. iReport.com: Fans go to Subway in big numbers for "Chuck"

Subway sandwiches popped up as a product placement in the series this season, and the show's star, Zachary Levi, lent his support by leading hundreds of fans into a Birmingham, England, Subway, where he served up a few platters.

It's just that spirit of fun that makes the show so special, say supporters.

"There are deeper shows on TV, there's maybe more ambitious shows, but nothing on TV makes me smile and makes me happier than 'Chuck,' " said Sepinwall, who snagged a sweet onion chicken teriyaki from his local Subway the night of the finale.

The whimsical nature of the show is the reason iReporter Connie Jones said she doesn't mind viewing it with her 6-year-old, 4-year-old and infant. iReport: Watch Connie and her daughter discuss their love of the show

"It's really the only show I watch," Jones said. "It's humorous, it's got great pop culture references and music, and I know that it's something I don't have to worry about letting my kids watch. We love the show."

"Chuck" co-creator Josh Schwartz said he is blown away by the overwhelming support.

It's no surprise, he said, that the nerd herd has utilized social networking to get the word out, because "this show is by geeks, about geeks and for geeks, so who better to know how to adapt to emerging technologies." iReport.com: "Nerd Herd employee" speaks

"The show has been a great gift to work on and we always really believed in it," said Schwartz, who has a hit on his hands with his other show, "Gossip Girl." "What we are trying to do with the show is something that is original and a blend of so many different genres ... and so I think it has the ability to reach a broad spectrum."

Schwartz, his crew and his cast won't know until close to May 5 -- the day of NBC's "upfront" presentation, in which the fall schedule is presented to advertisers -- whether "Chuck" will survive. But at least one actor on the show says he's not going to let up in his efforts. iReport.com: "Chuck" fan from Brazil speaks

Ryan McPartlin, who plays Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb on the show, said he's been fascinated by the dialogue the campaign has sparked about ratings and how things like online viewership can be factored in to count towards the show's popularity.

McPartlin has been reaching out to fans and bloggers to let them know how much he, the cast and crew appreciate the support. Having that go to show is like having a familiar friend, he said. iReport.com: Podcaster pleads "Chuck"'s case

"There's something about knowing what time and day of the week your [favorite] show is going to be on and the comfort of that regardless of what's going on in your life," he said. "This is crunch time, and we've got to do what we can."

I try not to get hooked on TV shows anymore because they all end up getting axed and it SUCKS! We have all of these reality shows to thank for this.:(

I don't watch this but I came across the article on cnn and thought Mr. Psycho would appreciate it.

I used to watch a lot of television. Now I'm on the computer much more often. I got three new games on my way home last night so if y'all don't hear much from me for a while that's why!:p

I was working at Warner Bros. on Pushing Daisies during Chuck's first season and that was one of the trouble shows on the lot. Their episodes were really expensive and always took too much time to shoot. I don't know if they've gotten their act together since then, but if not, the second ratings drop a little, that show is gone. So keep your fingers crossed and get your friends watching (if they're a nielsen home)

You worked on Pushing Daisies? I loved that show! I can't believe it got cancelled. That was one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen. So sad.

Yeah, I only worked on the first season though. I left to work on the Sex and the City Movie for more money. I guess I'm a greedy whore.

Just for you Mr. Psycho.
Thanks for sharing!

Ironically, I sent an email to NBC yesterday begging them not to cancel the series.

When you think about all the crappy shows that come out every year and get canceled after just one season (or less) it's hard to imagine they've got a replacement in the pipeline that's half as good. Probably just another show that will get axed and never develop a following.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV and I doubt Chuck will be replaced by anything I'd be interested in (especially if it's an hour drama-type show which I never get into) so if they drop Chuck they'll lose me for that hour.

If any of you are Chuck fans please take a few minutes to send an email through NBC.com. It'll only take two or three minutes but every email counts!!!!

One of the greatest shows ever IMO. Hopefully it'll get renewed so you have a chance to experience and enjoy it!

Another awesome show is Big Bang Theory. I was so worried they'd cancel it but they renewed it for this year and I haven't heard anything about it being on the bubble for next year. Thank God!

There's still an episode or two left this season so I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't yet. Good stuff.

For your reading pleasure Mr. Psycho...

From Zachary Levi's lips to God's Jeff Zucker's ears…

Chuck's leading man says he's feeling optimistic that NBC will renew his spy comedy for a third season. "I think the chances are good that we'll come back," he said at last night's Star Trek premiere. "But television is in a weird, fickle place right now, so you never know. We're supposed to find out on Monday."

That's an eternity for Chuck's rabid, Subway-munching fans, many of who have been taking part in the various grassroots campaigns that have sprouted up to save the show. "It feels awesome to know we have dedicated fans," says Levi. "People were sending the network nerds -- candy ones, not human ones as that would have cost a lot more postage and there are probably some legal issues with mailing a human. They were also going out and buying Subway foot-longs because they are one of our main advertisers.

"I hope we get another season," he elaborates. "I love being Chuck and I love the people I work. And the season finale was not meant to be the end of the series. It did not wrap it all up with a bow. They did not write it to be the end, so it would be unsatisfying to leave it there."

Speaking of which, assuming NBC does the right thing and keeps Chuck going, what would next season look like? "Chuck now has the new version of the Intersect in his head and not only does that one allow him to flash on information, it also allows him to get physical powers and techniques," he explains. "Like he might need kung fu for an assignment and then he uses it and it goes away. The powers are fleeting. That would be the third season."

*Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.

*When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

*There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist.

*Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

*When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

And the Chuck vigil continues…

NBC unveiled its fall lineup this morning, but conspicuously missing was any mention of bubble shows Chuck, Law & Order, Medium, Life, or My Name is Earl. According to a Peacock insider, a final ruling on the fate of all five shows will come on May 19. (Medium and Law & Order are both expected back; insiders say NBC execs are just finalizing the episode counts.)
