Update: The box has now been changed to remove the "Series Finale" language.
I believe this little box that reads "Series Finale" on the Chuck main page of the NBC.com site is a screw-up. Even if it is ultimately true, there's no way it was meant to be announced this way.
Update: Here are the Chuck season finale ratings from 4/27:
8:00
18-49: 2.2 rating
18-34: 1.7 rating
Viewers: 5.950 million
8:30
18-49: 2.5 rating
18-34: 1.9 rating
Viewers: 6.276 million
oh THANK GOD!
Definitely a screw-up, that has now been fixed. Whether it turns out to be of the prescient Freudian variety or not…
LOL. The chaos that ensued via that little green box was too funny…
It wasn’t a screw up. It was supposed to be on there when the content for the site was approved last week. I said things were bad, and they were bad. I’ve talked to someone at Warner today (they make it) and they feel extremely confident CHUCK will be back.
GOOD Nick C I hope you’re right and it DOES come back! My heart definitely sunk a little bit when I saw that darn little green box.
Nick, to me it seems no matter how you slice it, it was a screw up or, they would’ve left it on there.
why making such a mistake? NBC wants us to die!!!!!!!!!!
Renew Chuck.
Glad to hear it, Nick C. Hope you´re right. The finale was simply amazing and the last five minutes sent the show in a whole new and interesting direction
I was so bummed when I saw that this morning, now I feel a little better. I’m trying not to get my hopes too high, but I hope Nick C. is right!
Robert, you’re right of course. How ever it wasn’t in the sense that it is what the content people were told to put on there. Someone just didn’t tell them that it wasn’t supposed to be there now. The funny thing is they knew about it last night and yet it still made it on there this morning for quite a long period of time.
Warner is confident it will return and so am I. I think people may be surprised by what all happens, but it’s looking like it will return.
Was it a screw up?
on the main NBC page, it state:
Chuck: Watch the start studded finale online now.
but for HEROES: Watch the entire season plus the ***season*** finale online.
Nick: “I think people may be surprised by what all happens, but it’s looking like it will return.” What does that mean?=)
I absolutely hate this. Chuck is a really good show and the people posting on here and many others are backing this show. If in fact this show does get a Third Season which I hope it does we need to get more people involved in this show. It is a smart, witty, funny and adventurous piece of joy. Lets get those ratings up next year if it does get picked up for a midseason or even a full season so then there will definately be a fourth season.
Chuck is now like Schrödinger’s cat – Schrödinger proposed a scenario with a cat in a sealed box, where the cat’s life or death was dependent on the state of a subatomic particle. According to Schrödinger, the Copenhagen interpretation implies that the cat remains both alive and dead until the box is opened.
Now all that is needed is for NBC to open the box so everyone can look inside.
Renew Chuck.
The Schrodinger’s cat comparison might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.
There have been articles all over the web lately speaking about a renewal, but nothing has been confirmed. I am much more positive now than I was about three weeks ago. The ratings though not great stabilized. I think the often seen “they are ordering thirteen episodes” notes we’ve seen are probably about on the mark. They’ll use it as a season lead in or a mid-season replacement and go from there. Again, just my opinion.
Lizard…
Maybe NBC is going British on us. They always use “series finale” for season finales.
Mad props to bad robot for the great comparison!
and this is a giant overreaction…
god.. may fifth cannot come soon enough.
I be rob and bill are enjoying the bigger paycheck from google tho XD(meant in a good way)
Now the box changed there is no more series finale
