CHUCK Still At Series Low!! NBC To Renew It Anyway??
I am – Hercules!!
The last airing of “Chuck” before NBC announces its fall schedule keeps the spy dramedy at its series low.
On the other hand, Entertainment Weekly reports that NBC is “expected” to announce a fourth season for the series at (or before) the network’s upfront next Monday.
On the third hand, EW quotes “Chuck” creator Josh Schwartz as saying the renewal is “news to me.”
Overnights put “Chuck” in distant fourth place among adults 18-49 in its Monday 8 p.m. timeslot (on a night on which “American Idol” is wholly absent):
3.7 Dancing With The Stars
3.6 House
3.3 How I Met Your Mother
1.9 Chuck
1.1 One Tree Hill
So I’m guessing if NBC renews it, it’ll only renew it for half a season. And possibly hold it until midseason, as it did this year.

just cancel it already...the show has reached it's ratings high point and will only go down from here
-
I missed my chance...
-
People that watch chuck are total mouth breathers. cancel it and maybe they will go back underground where they came from
-
if it got renewed.
-
By not simply posting "first" and actually commenting on the story above, we now know two things about you: you are first and you are not a douchebag.I hope Chuck will be back. Sure, the episode a few weeks ago could have served as both a season and even series finale but NBC brought it back for a little longer. Might as well give them one more year to end it.
-
3rd season lost the sense of direction and most of the fun of S1 and S2. I am ready to see it go.
-
But it's been really pretty good lately. And I'm not like a huge fan or anything, it's just good fun. They had a good joke last night while chuck and Sarah were watching tv and he was like "yea looks like Monday night is gonna be a bit of a wasteland" oR something. After 24 ends and if chuck is cancelled Monday really will be a dead zone for me.
-
it's one of the TV shows the entire family will sit together and watch. I actually liked last night.
-
The show has a strong, loyal fanbase that tweeted the network to save the show for four straight hours at an average of 25 tweets every 10 seconds. And what Herc neglects to mention is that at least with last week's ratings, every show other than Dancing with the Stars was down because of numerous factors. The show also won E!'s save one show poll by a large margin and has a

Stupid assholes killed the far superior Journeyman without blinking. Ahhh but Heroes and Chuck did, and do, get multiple chances to continue to suck.
-
I saw an episode of this while visiting friends in London, last year. It had a generic "She-Spies" kind of feel, the tone was wildly uneven, and I didn't find it even remotely thrilling or funny. Too bad - I like Adam Baldwin.
-
whose cock wouldnt want to be between those two
-
It's funny, Chuck's a good guy... the characters are likable people and even the two douches are lovable losers.
Unlike everything else on TV that's populated by screaming evil pieces of crap that hold very little resemblance to human beings. -
Who'd a thunk it? But please, buy these DVDs from Amazon before you leave!
-
This season has been mostly subpar, which is surprising given the possibilities of Morgan and Awesome knowing Chuck's secret. There's just something missing and I can't put my finger on it. It's just not as enjoyable. I could easily say goodbye.
-
And the hottest woman on TV.
-
Chuck is simple escapism. Hot chicks, spies, and funny sidekicks. last night when they gave Morgan the "slow motion walk-in against the wind" treatment was brilliant.
-
Hottest women? Yep.Best case for incest ever.
-
I'll make a deal with NBC. They can cancel Chuck as long as they give Yvonne Strahovski her own show called "Panty Party" that is an entire hour of her doing things in her panties, and smiling. I don't care what she does. She looks amazing in panties, and her smile is nothing short of amazing.
-
The first 2 seasons were stellar. Gotta say, though, that this season overall has been kind of a letdown. The episodes are still fun, but there's no sense of direction or purpose. And most of the nerd humor is gone. If it was cancelled after this season, I wouldn't be boothered.
-
Meant to write bothered.
-
It'll be the biggest damn hit NBC has ever seen!!
-
This season has been "meh" at best. The new powers haven't changed the formula or the show at all. Morgan has gone from an amusing sidekick to a complete moron who, at the same time, is smarter than the spies? What? At least Chuck's transition from nerd to spy made sense. Morgan feels forced. After the amazing season finale last season, the Ring just feels lame and weak by comparison. And the sister has gone from a sweet, appealing character to an annoying, whiney one note character who I can't stand to see on screen anymore. Although, the death of superman storyline this season was pretty great, this season feels like they have no ideas left. The shows had a good run, and I will continue watching if it gets renewed, but if it ends I'd be okay with that. Better it ends now that gets run into the ground like Heroes or 24.

Sorry for the dupe post! -
Forgot to mention that part Herc. Those ratings would be crap for anyone else, but for the peacock network, they were the highest for the entire evening. I still expect this to get a full season pickup, and be placed alongside Undercovers.
-
Everyone I know, literally everyone I know, watches Chuck. And I live in Los Angeles and know quite a few fucking people, lemme tell 'ya.
-
I know you meant Hercules, because Harry probably never wanders into these posts unless he's drunk. Check out TV By the Numbers for ratings info.
-
It's really boring. Remember when Chuck was fun? Yeah, I do too.
-
The show is so bland and lame. I'm constantly puzzled by its fan base. What's the appeal? That a good looking, funny, charming "nerd" gets to "be the hero" for a change? Please. Re-cast the show with an "realistically nerdy" actor, like the guy who played Bill on Freaks and Geeks, and hire writers that have a few creative bones in their bodies, then get back to me.
-
Despite a culture developing that finds betting on (and they hope encouraging) cancellations of such shows by crunching the fucking useless Nielsen numbers, I hope Chuck can say "Fuck you" to them all and come back shining.
-
See, that was easy. Here comes "Super Spies Monday!"
-
the problem here is that they aren't showing enough of Sara's skin. She's been too over dressed for too long. Ellie too.
-
too skinny, bad skin. Not that she's hideous or anything, but she's far from the hottest woman on television.
-
If every episode had 2 chicks in hot pants and short skirts beating each other up, Chuck would never be canceled.

for Chuck to find it's voice for three years. Sadly it doesn't seem to have happened. I don't know what really was harder to take with this show... that so much international terrorism occurred in a store in Burbank, or that they haven't been able to make Adam Baldwin funny (which is a crime by the way). Oh, and my final rant, why oh why does Hollywood insist on stripping actresses of their accents? Would it really have been that hard to have Yvonne Strahovski speak in her native Australian accent? It could have been a great cover, an American spy pretending to be a foreign national on visa. But now, like Michelle Ryan, they've made her speak in a fairly boring American accent. I don't mean to hate on American accents, I have one myself, but whenever I get to hear these actresses speak in their normal accent I wonder why. That had really nothing to do with anything, just had to get it off my chest.
-
One more episode to air then it's done.
-
...if the majority of talkbackers hate it and want it canceled than I hope it isn't. Seriously, the majority of you suck, and whatever you hate, which is everything, deserves a shot just to make you miserable.
-
Poor Steven Weber and Amy Acker, every show they end up on lately, ends up tanking.
-
I'm a big fan of the show but I think it would do better on NBC's own USA Network cable channel. It would do well alongside "Burn Notice" or "White Collar". It would probably have a much brighter future on that channel than on its dull parent NBC.
-
Sarah is ridiculously hot. That said, another crazy hot blonde is about to appear on our screens - Jenny Wade, who is in that new Fox show with Tom Hanks son. It's nice to see the Reaper alum ending up elsewhere, though Sons of Tuscon was rubbish based on the one episode I saw.
-
LOL.Naw, seriously, if it's still on and doesn't turn into a complete crapfest like Heroes did, I'll watch. If it's not, I will have enjoyed the empty calories from this junk food snack and move on to the next. And who can resist Sarah and her little rabbit teeth?
-
Seriously stop smoking the crack, she is crazy hot. Bigger then you realize tits and top of the line legs and asss. Very cute, I see what you are saying about the skin around the cheek area on one side but thats hardly a deal breaker. The girl is hot. Also I just read that Chuck has been renewed for at least 6 episodes in the fall.
-
No no that can never work wait maybe it can...
-
reason enough to keep the show on as far as I am concerned, but they have also worked thru the stupid will-they-won't-they be spies/lovers stuff, got rid of weird-hair Shaw, and set up Morgan to be the new pain in Casey's ass newbie.So, in the last 3-4 episodes they turned the corner and fixed the issues. Lots to look forward to, I expect.But if not, still will look forward to the Yvonne Show each week.oisin needs eye exam or maybe a good wipe of his tv screen....

by wiboomer1
...if this one sucks so bad? It's amazing that Chuck has been able to hold on for so long...
I think that maybe Chuck has jumped the shark, but it's still better than anything else NBC has on. I can't wait for season 4! LONG LIVE BUYMORIA! -
That should be a universal rule. It's my 3rd favorite show of all time: 1. Farscape 2. Northern Exposure 3. Chuck - I need a season four badly. I am frakking sick of vampires, lawyers, crime techs, and reality TV.
-
I loved the first two seasons, mainly becauis eif the humor and the characters.The storylines were usually pretty lousy. But they kind of painted themselves into a corner with last year's season ender.
That said, I agree with the guy up top who said they should have saved Journeyman. That was a kickass show.If they'd made it to a second season, I think it really would have taken off. -
and unless the economy turns around, i highly doubt you will see alot of new shows this coming season so say welcome back to heroes too
-
a few weeks said that the series didnt jump the shark because Chuck finally made it with the blond.yeah right like television history hasnt already proven whats the real case...
-
Dark hair and sweeter body carries the day. I would throw a hump into snaggle tooth in a heart beat I would just bang the sister first.
-
You don't know jack. This show has gotten better in season 3 since they've been together - it was the WT/WT that drug it down early on. If you want "convention" then go glue your eyeballs to "Bones" - which is still artificially keeping their leads apart - if you want to get down on your hands and knees and gobble down that fetid crap then be my guest. Thank god Chuck didn't go that route.
-
I don't want to see that douche bag come back into the show. And yeah, Sara Silverman show is kaputzky. No surprise there.
-
I know it's advertised all the time, but I've never met anyone who's actually watched it.

by sydbarretsmydad
to enjoy it. Not that theres complicated plotline mechanisms in place. But its simplistic and goofy in tone. And I think thats pretty much on purpose. Its like dessert. Everyone on here who are haters of the show switched it on one night and were expecting meat and got sweet. I get my main course elsewhere, and my eye candy watching chuck.
-
It's fluff. It's cotton candy. It's not particularly deep or dark or serious or grown up. It's not outright campy spy comedy like Get Smart.
-
First season was decent, second was almost unwatchable.
-
If it is renewed, I hope they get back to some of the first season fun. They've played down the eccentric characters at Buy More that helped carry the show.
-
...is that every show is about their relationship. Should they be together or shouldn't they. It's boring and forced. The producers think this adds drama, and it does once or twice, but not every episode. That's what killed Lois & Clark (every episode after getting together they had to talk about their undying love). Chuck never grows. He's still an idiot who never retains any knowledge and he's supposed to be a smart guy even without the intersect in his head. And I could stare at Sarah Lancaster all day, but they really haven't given the Awesomes anything to do except say the same crap every week.
-
for NBC to renew as a placeholder. I'm not surprised. It will probably be held to mid-season to fill in the gap of a failed new drama -- NBC did the same with Medium for 3 seasons.
Heroes will be canceled with at best a 2-4 Hour miniseries to "wrap-up" the nonsense. -
I saw one a couple weeks ago. I haven't seen the last one yet. I'm always on the fence on whether to stop recording or not. I always hope the producers will see the error of their ways, but they really never do. We just need some more Sarah Lancaster and Yvonne in bikini scenes to finish the season out. And please, no more Lester singing scenes. It was funny once. Repeating it is lazy writing.
-
...the last six was some of the best TV of the 2008-2009 season. Seriously, it's a show that truly rewards its most loyal viewers.
-
Previous seasons were watched shortly after Tivo-ing. This season, we've got 5 issues stacked on the tivo and just can't get interested enough to dive in. This was the same pattern for Desperate Housewives two years ago, and House last year. Good bye Chuck.
I still love Yvonne S. and Adam Baldwin. -
This is one of the vey few shows that totally deserve the epithet "fun". Fun, thy name is CHUCK. And i want to see more of Sarah Lancaster and Yvonne Strahovski, please!
-
CHUCK found it's voice from the second episode foward. You weren't paying attention. CHUCK is CHUCK, not something else you prefer.
-
Thought it was a cute show, but nothing too special.The fact that it apears they've made Chuck an all-out superspy seesm to be completely antithetical to the original concept.
-
This season really got screwed by introducing the 2x4 known as Brandon Routh, and its alarming to learn he may not be dead afterall. Please keep him dead! I do think the writers strayed from the original charm of the show. The Buy More was a big part of that charm and its role has been significantly reduced. Hopefully it will be renewed and the writers will learn from their mistakes.
-
...it is actually completely in-line with the concept, a natural evolution given the premise of the Intersect.But you got to use "antithetical" in a sentence! Guess you can put that gold star on your calendar, after all, even though the sentence was worthless here.
-
Make sure he is REALLY gone from this show.
-
If Scrubs could last this long why not Chuck??? I'd rather watch Chuck over the new eps of Scrubs.
