  1. Video streaming and downloading videos should count in ratings. People these days are very busy and don’t have the time to watch it at the exact time.

  2. Great video. The friendship between Zac and Josh is so great and plays such a huge part in the Chuck/Morgan friendship in the series as well.

    It would be a damn shame to have to say goodbye to such a great, original series.

    Hope to see Chuck back next season. T’il then, just like every other Chuck fan out there, I will continue to share the first 2 seasons with my friends and family to pull in more fans for the series.

    I’ve been watching television for years, but theres something about this series that makes it so damn great and fun to watch with friends and family that it just can’t be taken off the air.

    “To Be Continued.” –!!!

  3. Gray,

    I tremendous job on the CNN interview. Is there anything more that you know from Zach and Josh or from your contacts on what’s happening and was Nikki right about using Chuck as leverage to buy out the David Kelley show.

    Thank you for all your doing to save Chuck
    peace,
    mark

  4. So awesome!

  5. Thanks for posting this, I would have missed it otherwise.

  6. Thanks for posting!

  7. Great job, all! Go “CHUCK,” GO!!! Let’s get this “Season 3” renewal announcement over and done with so we can celebrate and get working not on CHUCK’s “surviving,” but CHUCK’s “THRIVING!!!” Lend out your Season 1 DVDs this summer. Buy Season 1 DVDs for gifts – I’ve given them for Christmas, Birthdays – even as part of a WEDDING gift! Everyone that I’ve ever bought Season 1 for or lent it to has become a “CHUCK” fan. That’s the BIG hurdle that we will still face even after CHUCK is renewed – to get MORE PEOPLE knowing about this GREAT, “AWESOME” show and it’s amazing cast and writers. Let’s get renewed and go from “Save CHUCK” to “GROW CHUCK!!” – or maybe take Casey’s line and change it from “Chuck ME” to “Chuck YOU!!” C’mon, NBC. Make the announcement already so we can get to work on the next phase of our campaign. Incidentally, in addition to all the great “CHUCK stuff” available from the NBC.COM online store, I also found online “CHUCKAHOLIC” ball caps and coffee mugs – they’re GREAT conversation starters. When I wear the hat when I”m out and about, people will ask me “what’s a CHUCKAHOLIC?” And then there’s the opportunity to tell them about this GREAT SHOW!! But I also tell them, the only CURE for “Chuckaholism” is not to STOP watching CHUCK, but to DROWN YOURSELF in CHUCK!!! Keep up the great work everybody – and we’ll keep CHUCK around for years to come!! Peace, all!

  8. The following for Chuck is incredible. The show is mega awesome. I am sure we can get NBC to green light a 3rd season. I watched every episode and will do again for season 3.

  9. Wow, Gray. It seems you were made for television too!

  10. How cool was that!?!

  11. Amazing that the Yahoo link for this video shows 916 views at the time of this comment. I’m calculating like 100 views per minute!

  12. Hi,

    thanks all! No, I don’t know any more about the renewal, except to say that I’m faithful it will be good news.

    To Rick: I couldn’t have said it better! We’ve all got our work cut out for us this summer, promoting Chuck to our family, friends, and co-workers. Wouldn’t it be awesome to see Chuck’s ratings go through the roof in the fall, and have NBC eat some humble pie?

    Cheers,
    Gray.

  13. Hey guys I was just wondering, I live in Canada and I don’t have a paypal account or anything like that to buy any Chuck shirts on Ebay or NBC.com

    Just wondering if anybody knows where I can find Chuck merchandise to purchase somehow from where I am (T-shirts, the comics)

    (I bought the BluRay AND DVD just to do my part for the show as well as the campaigns, so as far as DVD/BluRay i’m good)

    I would really really appreciate it. tHANKs

  14. If hulu and nbc.com views don’t count for ratings what compels them to make shows available that way? I don’t get it? It sounds to me like it’d be easier to keep track of viewing that way anyways. Hulu counts my viewings for me, why couldn’t it count them for nbc? I don’t know that’s just confusing to me. All I know is if Chuck is not renewed NBC is making a huge mistake. If given the chance, Chuck will become NBC’s most watched show. Well, most watched entertaining show that isn’t some dumb reality tv contest. This wait is killing me. Go Chuck.

  15. Did you all catch what Zach said about the season 3 direction? Buy More–contra some assertions–will be back, and “SuperChuck” turns out to be more like Bruce Banner: powers come when he really needs them or perhaps when his emotions for Sarah call them forth. This should be a great season.

  16. …might turn out to be…

  17. Yeah, I was hoping for the same thing. You get rid of Chuck’s “normalness” and a lot of the cool part of that show is lost. He either had to lose the ability completely or as Zach said – come back when he needs it. Buy More – that was a really cool part of the movie for me since I work Tech Support. That just couldn’t go away. Besides, I just bought a Buy More Green Polo and a Buy More Mug… It can’t go away!

  18. That could really make for some interesting comedic scenes if kung fu is just the top of the barrel in terms of what Chuck can learn from the intersect and there’s much more unexpected stuff that can pop out of that, and maybe some side effects too, like temporarily forget how to do something in order to make room in the brain for the new temporary skills. Like, picking up karate for a fight and then having to work on a computer and finding itself unable to. The posibilities are limitless when you have great writers onboard.

    What I would like tough is that Chuck would flash on how to play the guitar and actually pick up the guitar he has in his room. As a guitar player it pains me to have that thing sitting on the couch for 2 whole seasons with no one touching her, that’s no way to treat a lady with strings!!
    Ok, just kidding on that one…. kinda 😛

  19. i really wish i could have watched this to help show my support for the show but i was in school =[

  20. I’m sure CNN keeps track of how many people replay that CNN video. I’m going to e-mail it out to several friends and replay it at home several times.

  21. Ahh hell i was on CNN live….. My friends aren’t gonna let me forget this. Save chuck hopefully the messages will do there job!

  22. How can NBC not pay attention to the Save Chuck campaign making it onto CNN. My family and I love Chuck. We have been buying Subway every monday for the last two weeks and will continue to do so. I sent a message to NBC threatening to no longer watch NBC shows if they do not renew Chuck. Maybe if we all chip in and the networks ratings go down, maybe they will feel that there will be no choice but to renew the show? Wouldn’t hurt. Although, I love NBC!

  23. Gray,
    I saw the interview live at work, and it was embarrassing because I almost peed myself from excitement. Awesome. Maybe we’ll be looking at a live television interview soon. That would be some great PR. Josh and Zach were hilarious. There personalities even off camera make the show Chuck even better.

  24. Thanks for posting the CNN interview with Zac, Josh and Gray. Besides several new insights about the 3rd season from Zac and Josh I was impressed with their sincere appreciation for all that the fans have been doing to rally around the show. I really felt that they are a couple of down-to-earth guys who I would like to invite over to my house and just hang out and visit (as I’m sure many other members of the cast would be too). It just gives me more reasons to lift up my voice for another season of Chuck.

  25. awesome, chuck is really good!

  26. la tercera season promete demaciado !!!!! gracias cnn y porfaborr salvemos chuck !!!!

  27. I love that Zach and Josh are both not only hilarious off-camera, but also intelligent. I loved Zach’s answer about the ratings.

  28. Awesome interview! NBC doesn’t realize what they have. If they just stopped concentrating on the old musty neisen ratings and looked at internet fandom they’d realize they are sitting on one of the most popular shows currently on. I guess we need to start watching in spades. 😉

    Chuck is an internet show. It’s a Hulu show. It’s a DVR show.

    I love when the interviewer says “You’re clearly fans of each other!” Zach and Joshua are so much fun together. God forbid if Chuck doesn’t come back, I’d love for them to do another show together.

    NBC: Please save Chuck! CNN isn’t doing stories on any of your other shows! (Even the ones you’ve renewed!) I love the worldwide interest in Chuck. I’m like the guy from England. I keep checking everyday looking for news on the fate of Chuck.

    Good job Gray!!

  29. Can’t what for season 3, realy hope they don’t cancel

  30. Nice plug for Subway during this interview! (I didn’t know there were Subways outside the USA either…)

  31. I saw the interview this afternoon. It was hell to get it to pull up on my computer. It was my first time to do that whole thing. It wasn’t even my own computer. I don’t have one I just use my phone for most all of this stuff. But enough of that, it was great to Zach and Josh just having fun and talking about the show and how much it makes them happy to be apart of it. If that dosent make us as fans happy then I don’t know what will. I really can’t wait for the third season. Im really praying for it, my wife just got done watchig the 100th episode of Greys Anatomy. And it made me think that I really would love to see CHUCK go on for that long. That would be Awesome!!!! And Gray thank you so much for helping us out in keeping the show that we all love! So THANK YOU!!!! Your so lucky that you get to talk to the cast. That’s Awesome!!!!

  32. They should count both live/replay viewings and internet (including iTunes, hulu.com, etc.)

  33. Yeah, they say you shouldn’t threaten with I will never watch NBC again cause it is useless but if you really mean it and enough people say it, and then follow through it will send a message. I personally will be done with NBC if Chuck does not get renewed. Well I will watch Conan O’Brien still but you know he is never gonna get canceled. I will have fully lost faith in the entertainment industry (at least television) if this amazing, orginal, fun, and POPULAR show gets canceled while all that reality crap continues to air. I guess I should lose faith in this nations taste in entertainment really. I mean all except us who are fans of real entertainment….

  34. Great job, Gray! Way to support us. 😉

    I’m surprised no one has called this group Chuck’s Army yet, what with all the free publicity and the new AHA campaign running now. Gray, you can carry the banner. We’ll march up hill with Subway sandwiches in hand, maybe find an old drive in movie theater like in Chuck vs. the Colonel and watch reruns on the big screen the night before the big decision is made.

    XD Sorry, it’s been a long day. As stressful as the wait is, I’m glad to see all the support this show is getting.

    Viva la Chuck

  35. zinddestruction
