In reply to NerdyChuckFan. NBC has made early announcements on 5 new scripted shows already. I think they'd be crazy to announce those only to anger a few million viewers by dropping Chuck (and/or Heroes) next week. Besides, even with the new shows, plus Parenthood and Marriage Ref, there should still be an opening for Chuck due to Leno's time slots, and the vacancies left by Trauma and Mercy if they're canceled. I'm nervous as anything, but things looks promising for Chuck.

I think that despite all the positive spins, “Chuck” is still very much “on the bubble” and still can go either way. They don’t want to say anything too negative because that will basically kill the ratings for the remaining episodes (and NBC is already losing Monday nights — NBC might be stupid but they’re not that stupid) but they also don’t want to be too positive because, if it does get canceled, they’ll look like fools…

So the forecast calls for more heartaches for the next six days, following by sunny skies or a torrential downpour…

Sure I would prefer to have NBC announce that they have already renewed Chuck, but considering everything that has happened since season 1 (writer’s strike, fan renewal campaign last spring, the mid-season beginning for season 3, the winter Olympics, the lengthy angst-ridden nature of season 3) it shouldn’t surprise us that we are still waiting for the final word. All this just seems to be a small price to pay to have our “little show that could” as Mo Ryan likes to say.

I actually think it would be good for television if more fans were as passionate about their shows as Chuck fans are about Chuck.

In reply to verkisto. Indeed! Casey needs a lovin' mom (with a loaded gun!) She could be from Wyoming or Montana... a former bare hand bear hunter by example... Damned! 'blew my chances to be hired by Ali Adler!! Need to be sober when working at some Chuck script! That's all the fault of Verkisto's Chuck dancing! :D

In reply to verkisto. I have already launched a campaign. I've thought of getting Betty White on Chuck since S1. lol Maybe we should make a Facebook page for her to be on Chuck just like the one they did to get her on SNL (which by the way was great).

Take nothing for granted until an official announcement comes from NBC that says the show is renewed, and even then, don’t take anything for granted.

Watch Chuck LIVE tonight on NBC–and get everyone you know to watch it also. Then watch it again on Hulu tomorrow. Then download it from iTunes on Wednesday. Then order something from the online NBC Store on Thursday. Then, do the happy dance when it gets renewed.

Finally, after renewal, help me launch the “Get Betty White to guest star on Chuck as John Casey’s mom” campaign.
