Agreed!

Oh and since NBC canceled Las Vegas, I have kept to my word. No new NBC shows. I am down to Chuck, Heroes, & Celebrity Apprentice. Once they are gone, so am I.

Are you serious? I enjoyed Las Vegas as much as the next person, but at least they gave it 5 seasons. Although, I stopped watching after the first Selleck episode. It just got waaay too stupid for me at that point.

Yes I am serious. Would it have killed NBC to wrap up the show after the writers strike? The show ended with a "to be continued". After 5 seasons, the fans deserved atleast 1-2 more episodes to wrap things up.

Just started watching the Season 1 DVDs. Good stuff! Just up through episode 4, but the story advancement is fast-paced, but done well, keeping interest high. Some of Casey's one-liners are such dry gems! And Sarah shows such interesting "promise" every episode. (Or Corina. Or La Ciudad.)

(Morgan was such an annoying asshole! I'd forgotten how bad he was. lol)

I just don't see how NBC couldn't go for Season 3. What an "awesome" show!

Finally was able to watch this.

Easily one of the best episodes of the series. I was thinking they wouldn't be doing any Buy More stories through to the end, but they go and pull magic out of the hat by having Morgan's story parallel his best friends. Nice.

Sarah. Panties.

The general done gone and pissed Cassey off by having him go back on his word.

Awesome = awesome.

Chuck finding that note is in his wallet may have been the single funniest thing this show has ever pulled off. And that is saying a lot!

It certainly feels like they are wrapping things up, but I have a feeling there is a huge rug yanking headed out way next week.

When Life finished up it answered many questions while keeping the door open for more. However, I felt satisfied if we somehow never see Charlie Crews again. Even if Chuck manages to wrap things up in the same manner, while leaving things open for more, I feel confident that I will not feel satisfied in any way shape or form.

I will be writing NBC. Also, continue to stream the episode on NBC even if you've already watch in tv! Have friends do it too even if they don't watch. You can mute and leave it on in the background.

Guys -

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.co...back/#comments
Every year about this time, rabid fans of shows perceived to be on the bubble launch campaigns to convince networks to renew their favorite series. So Chuck fans on Monday plan to show NBC execs their loyalty by spiking sandwich sales en masse at Subway stores and sending Nerds candies. It didn't work for Moonlight at CBS but did for Jericho. This time, I can tell you the Chuck campaign is having an effect on the NBC suits. "It's a good show, a solid show, and it's in contention to come back," an insider tells me. "I'm betting it'll end up back. But that decision hasn't been made yet." Interestingly, it’s not just fanboys trying to keep the Josh Schwartz show on the air, it’s also mainstream TV critics and reporters. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Entertainment Weekly have all weighed i positively. Television Without Pity listed 8 reasons to save the series. Me? I haven't even watched 3 minutes of it.
I know I will be buying 2 Footlongs tomorrow night for dinner! I hope you all do the same as I'd love for this show to come back. Remember - the show will either get picked up or canned in 8 days!

at Charlie Brown.

The Subway campaign sounds like one of the best ideas out of any of the shows circling the drain.

I'm certainly hitting up Subway [edit: today] as well. I also plan on dropping a comment card in the box as well as e-mailing Subway to let them know I purchased due to Chuck!

Does watching the show live make any difference if I'm not a Neilsen family? I usually Tivo it, but I'll try to watch it live if that will help.

Also, I will be eating Subway for lunch today.
