If they take my Chuck away from me, I will do such things - I will have such revenges on NBC, what they are yet I know not, but they shall be the terrors of the Earth!

Operation Leno, baby. Operation Leno.

In an interview at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, Schwartz said he had a good meeting with NBC about “Chuck’s” future, but he would not speculate on whether the show would survive. NBC, which is stripping Jay Leno across the 10 p.m. time period five nights a week, does not have a lot of real estate for shows like Schwartz’s that are on the bubble.

In the meantime, “Chuck” fans are taking matters into their own hands. According to Schwartz, there is a push on the Internet to get fans to go to Subway on Monday before the season finale to buy sandwiches in support of the show. Why Subway? Because the sandwich shop was featured prominently in a recent episode. So much for product placement turning off viewers. “It shows a real sophistication on the part of the viewer,” Schwartz said.

EEEeesh. While the subway sandwich does sound good... good idea, and the chicken teryaki is a taste treat, I can't stay up late enough to watch Leno, anyway.
Luckily, Chuck would come on first!

Some encouraging news for us Chuck fans:

Best Bet That 'Chuck' Will Come Back...

Every year about this time, rabid fans of shows perceived to be on the bubble launch campaigns to convince networks to renew their favorite series. So Chuck fans on Monday plan to show NBC execs their loyalty by spiking sandwich sales en masse at Subway stores and sending Nerds candies. It didn't work for Moonlight at CBS but did for Jericho. This time, I can tell you the Chuck campaign is having an effect on the NBC suits. "It's a good show, a solid show, and it's in contention to come back," an insider tells me. "I'm betting it'll end up back. But that decision hasn't been made yet." Interestingly, it’s not just fanboys trying to keep the Josh Schwartz show on the air, it’s also mainstream TV critics and reporters. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Entertainment Weekly have all weighed i positively. Television Without Pity listed 8 reasons to save the series. Me? I haven't even watched 3 minutes of it.

Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Is Bryce finally dead now?

Two Intersects?

Is Casey's manhood going to be threatened now?

Will Big Mike ever regain control of the Buy More?

Will Jeff and Lester go on to pop stardom?

Will Morgan cut his fingers off as a Beni-Hana chef?

Who's going to take Emmett down?

Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! *Whimper*

Cy-- the one liners just didn't stop, this ep... but the homage to Firefly...from each of the characters at different times had me rollin! I'd taped it... had to go back a few times, cause I was laughin' so hard.

This was a fun ep.
And... it certainly looks like it COULD be back next season... Oh, what fun to be Chuck. To get to be the spy guy he's always wanted to be... to be Charmichael... AND TO GET THE GIRL??????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is desperately hoping that Chuck is renewed.....

Bird on a wire is claiming that either Chuck OR Medium will get picked back up, but not both. I don't know how much stock to but in this claim, but if it's the case, Medium is the more likely candidate (unfortunately).

I read in Variety today that Chuck seems to have been picked up, but I wouldn't believe it until the upfront.

Christmas In May: Reports NBC Will Renew Chuck, Medium and Law & Order

Posted on 03 May 2009 by Bill Gorman

Multiple sources, including Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily, as well as a friend of ours in the TV industry report that NBC will announce the renewal of Chuck, Medium and Law & Order on Monday.

Hollywood Reporter is also reporting Medium will be renewed.

It’s Sunday, and we don’t have any more than that, but I’m sure some lively commenting will ensue.

Well,at least,we'll know whether or not they'll announce it on Monday on Monday.....

News is good, source is unverifiable:

http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/05/chuc...eason-3-is.html

They have what is claimed to be a screenshot of an internal WB press site.

But, it could jsut be a contingency, like the celebrity obituaries that have leaked before a celebrity death on sites like CNN.

Yeah, probably, but at least it means that NBC hasn't said "no."

From Michael Ausiello:

Question: What's the latest on Chuck's renewal? --Dave
Ausiello: Warner Bros. and NBC are haggling over money. Shocking, I know. If a deal can be worked out -- and I have every reason to believe it can (and will) be -- it'll be back for a 13-episode third season.

Same thing at Variety today. Seems like all the networks are moving to cut money:

It's all a matter of negotiations.

Now... this is what I got:
TV shows


This was the most recent I could find.. and it puts LIFE up in the air. I sure think the writing and cast were great... and while they tied up one thread, there are still a boatload... so it had somewhere to go in a third season...
I'm giddy for Chuck, tho...

NBCU execs have said Life was canceled.

So it's all official now. Chuck will be coming back in the Spring - after the Winter Olympics. Not great news, but it *will* be back, which is really all that we could reasonably expect for something that was almost canceled.

Yeah, I'm glad it's sticking around. I just hope they get the Kung Fu app out of Chuck's head relatively quickly... I've a feeling that's going to kill the show.
