I honestly believe that the network could have treated the show a lot better and atleast given them the opportunity to create a befitting end to this series , instead of rushing them this way . If nothing else I would like to say that this show has one of the best basic concepts I have seen and I sincerely fell in love with it the day I saw the pilot . The lovable whimsical characters , the upbeat soundtracks just drew me in deeper . This is a show that appealed to the geek & the action junkie in me , all the while tickling my funny bone . Not being from the states and not having access to a tv in my hostel certainly didn’t make it easy for me to keep up but I always found a way . If nothing else , I would atleast want to find a way to show the cast and crew members how many people are gonna miss this series , apart from its regular viewers in the states , maybe some groups on social networking sites if that’s what it takes. Regardless of how this series ends , i’ll miss it from the bottom of my heart

In reply to 134sc. I had the same reaction when I looked at my clock. A bit of a step down from Santa Suit (I missed Baby because of holiday stuff), but still a very good episode.

Hi All,

I really think NBC should have given Josh, Chris, Cast & Crew a further 9 episodes out of respect for them & the time and effert they have put into the show – (not to hit the magic 100) so that they could finish the series properly! Season 5 has been brillent thus far, however I have a feeling that the final Big Baddie arc (Quinn) will feel rushed because of time constrants that the network placed on them! If they had had the back 9 the Quinn arc & how he fitted into the conspiricy Papa B mentions (S2’s vs The Dream Job) more effectively! Alas they didn’t! Not living in the US I don’t know how it works but I suspect NBC will miss Chuck & the revenue it generated. They will realise a little to late that they shot themselves in the foot! We maybe be a small demagraphic but like Morgan Grimes we are a Loyal bunch 🙂

In reply to Mel. A dual promo for Chuck and Grimm did run in Sunday Night Football around 9PM on October 23rd. Prior to the premiere this year, NBC aired 139 promos for Chuck. Sixty (60) of them were partnered spots with Grimm. The other 79 were just for Chuck. Of the 79 Chuck promos, twenty (20) aired on USA to get additional reach.

In reply to Doctor Bob. Good one, Doctor Bob. And this prisoner wasn't allowed visitors before the death chamber, ie, no internet access.

“Maybe (that rabid fan base that was going crazy on the net) didn’t come to the show because it was Friday, but you think they would find the show.” Mr Greenblatt, we’re not idiots. We know how to read a TV Guide and mark our calendars. You’re not an idiot, either. You knew what Chuck’s demographic was and moved it into a timeslot you knew to be the least convenient for that demographic. It is disingenuous to feign amazement that the fans couldn’t (or wouldn’t) find the show. You led the show away from its 5-million-viewers timeslot, to certain death. “Gee, I took the prisoner from his cell, walked him to the death chamber, pulled the switch, and he…he died! You’d think he’d have found a way to survive!”

An important thing to point out is that the “rabid fanbase that was going crazy on the Net” didn’t “find the show” because we couldn’t. Gone are the days of watching live TV. It’s all about Hulu and Netflix and similar sites, which we weren’t afforded access to this season. In my opinion, that’s why it’s the most pirated show, because if you miss it, there’s no other way to watch it. I’m a paratrooper stationed overseas and Internet TV is really the only way I can catch up on the shows I like because the DoD sponsored TV network takes a bit of getting used to. However I couldn’t do that this season and I know a lot of my friend had to seek out the show through alternate means as well.
So all in all, I’m disappointed that a network exec would treat fans that way, and once the Office is over I don’t think I’ll be tuning into NBC for much more than hockey and football

it’s really embarrassing because he is just trying to rub it in(in a worst manner), making it more difficult for us to accept the fact that it is ending. he did not even realize the network also gain benefits from chuck!!!!!!
