And scnjedi, I completely agree with you about Scrubs. It ended in a satisfactory manner and had a fitting series finale, and now it continues? So bizarre. I get that they want to turn it into a comedy ER, with ever revolving doctors, but this just seems like too much.

lose the buy more. it had its story told. it moved on. have morgan and co. drop in every couple of episodes as guest stars. have them be in trouble with mob/columbian drug cartel/KGB/whatever, and chuck has to help them. casey and sarah try to stop him at first, but end up helping him.

use captain awesome more now that he knows chuck's secret. have him go around trying to keep it away from his wife. maybe, sometime in the mid-season, have him do some spy stuff as well: the irony of ellie being the only one in the family not knowing, and trying to figure out what are all of them up to has potential.

make more stand alone episodes at the beginning of the season. we had a MAJOR gamechanger, let them run with the new status quo for a while (make episodes with similar set ups as those in season 1, just that now chuck can take good care of himself without any help from his handlers. thus making room for more casey's "chuck me" comments) before starting a new big story arc. and finally, bring dean stockwell on board. QL reunion FTW!

To quote Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!"... they must be trying to lull us into a false sense of security and then when we least expect it, BLAM!, it'll be Big Brother, ____ Idol, ____ Got Talent, Survivor, Hell's Kitchen, Biggest Loser and Fox News on all channels 24/7, and all speculative fiction shows will be pushed onto the graveyard timeslot and lose all their funding... And all be run by Tim fucking Kring.

It's the only possible answer.

End of an era guys. End of an era.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

So it's not like the show will improve drastically and get a large increase in ratings.

Fox don't seem to understand that you need to spend money, to make money.

With the way NBC has been holding Chuck ransom, I have a feeling it will even have a harder battle trying to get a 4th season. Maybe they should plan the major arc for season 3 to be the series finale. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the show continue, but I don't want to see them constantly having to worry about if it is the season or series finale every year. I'd like to see Chuck go out on a high note.

hurrah! bring on more knight rider!

you firefly fanboys ever think that if the show was cancelled adam baldwin might end up on a way more awesome show?

didn't think so.

More Chuck is worth it.

And about Adam Baldwin, you fire him and it becomes a whole new (and less interesting) show. Big Mike is gone. I hope Jeffster lives though. Best 'Mr. Roboto' cover ever.

That said, I think we'll be stuck in Buy More for longer, as a cut budget implies less money to spend on high tech gadgets, spy cameras, stunts, etc... All the stuff that would make Neo-Chuck cool to watch.

Probably no Scott Bakula either. The dude is probably expensive as hell to hire.
