Today (or maybe not today) NBC will be making decisions about its fall lineup and apparently Chuck is on the chopping block. I was stunned to find this out. It is a fantastic show, the right amount of spy fun and cheeky humor. Apparently I am not alone in my hope that NBC will hear the cries and renew the show.
It is true that I tend to watch it on Hulu since the air time, 8 pm, is right when we are putting the kids to bed. Some have suggested (see the first link) that this means avoiding commercials, but Hulu does have commercials and I am happy to have them play through for the convenience of watching the show at my convenience. Some efforts to save the show even included a “Subway eat-in” to show support for a primary sponsor who had product placement within the show.
So I hope that they save Chuck. After all, now he knows kung fu.
I just watched the season finale last night. My daughter and I are big fans of the show. I love all of the references to popular culture, whether it be music, film, etc.
