I wonder if this line of thinking will still be popular once we get the ratings for The Sing-Off (airing Mondays in Chuck’s timeslot). They’ve tried other scripted shows in that timeslot with horrible results, well below Chuck’s ratings; maybe non-scripted is the answer.
]]>Don’t blame the Nielson viewers. Blame NBC. They kept it in that Monday timeslot that it was never capable of successfully competing in. Mondays are for shows that already have widespread established popularity, not for shows that are trying to increase their ratings. I constantly keep wondering what could have happened if Comcast had only stepped in a few years sooner. If they had, Chuck might be on auto-renewal right now instead of entering its final season. You can also blame Fedak and Schwartz a little bit because of season 3. That was supposed to be the breakout season and we all know how that went. The show lost a lot of fans that season and I don’t think the show’s ever fully recovered from it. But the important thing is that at least Fedak and Schwartz corrected their mistakes with season 4. NBC never did. They just kept it on Mondays where it shouldn’t have been. I’ve said this before: I don’t think NBC ever deserved Chuck. Chuck deserved to be on a network that had the money to promote it and the intelligence to handle it correctly. I think the new Friday time slot will increase the ratings a bit, but not that much since Friday is Friday.
]]>For anyone trying to figure out if Chuck’s holding a tranq gun or a real gun, it’s definitely a tranq gun. All you have to do is look at the barrel of the tranq gun. The silver part of it and of course, the silver extension or tip. The tranq gun always has that silver tip on the end of the barrel.
]]>Yeah I noticed that quickly. When I saw the picture for the first time, it took me a few seconds to realize that was the Buy More in the background because it’s so small relative to them. Then it was like “wait a second, that explosion looks familiar…”
]]>Yeah I know what you mean. I half really want the season to start already but at the same time I half don’t want it to start because it’s the beginning of the end.
]]>Yes they probably have since it’s now run by Comcast. When I first saw that picture, it was a wow. For once, key art that actually looks good. Doesn’t look really posed or anything.
