We're over the hump! It will all be over in a week, hopefully sooner.
The latest speculation revolves, not around Chuck, but more since it seems like Legally Mad didn't get picked up by NBC, what does that mean for Chuck?
What it means to me personally, is not much at all. I'm still optimistic for Chuck's renewal and waiting for the announcement in a week (but hopefully sooner!). Though I can understand from a falling dominos perspective how one might think the news impacts Chuck either favorably or negatively. But since it hasn't changed my outlook (I'm still 95%), I'm not going to get into that. So how do we pass the time?
How about which Chuck character are you most like and why?
One of the dynamics of Chuck is that you have a fair bit of contrast. You have Ellie and Awesome more or less pursuing perfect lives and then you have a lot of, how shall we say "unambitious losers", at the Buy More. Casey and Sarah are "Defenders against evil", and then you have Chuck himself. Chuck isn't really an unambitious loser, he was just laid so low by his circumstances of being kicked out of Stanford and dumped by the woman he loved for his best friend that he had a hard time recovering. He still hasn't quite recovered yet, though the Intersect and his fondness for Sarah has seemingly set him on the road to recovery.
It's hard for me to pick one character. I'm probably somewhat a cross between Chuck and Jeff and perhaps Big Mike. I had some academic issues, and certainly have been laid low by a woman a time or two. I've had a pretty diverse career. I worked at a public park and golf course for about 7 years in my youth, and worked at Sprint, IBM and even somehow managed to wind up with a senior vice president title at Charles Schwab. I've had to make decisions from "where to put the pin on hole #6 today" (and OK, I admit it, sometimes I would pick extremely difficult pin placements on purpose!) to "what's the best way to handle the taxonomy for 5,000 topics," to creating e-mail products that hundreds of thousands of customers subscribed to and receive daily.
I was a very early adopter of personal computers, and using networked computers as communications tools, and my curiosity and interest about that, more than any real drive or ambition, wound up leading me down a fairly interesting path. I never really managed to strike the proper balance between curiosity and drive, but perhaps out of being curious to somewhat of an extreme, it still worked out reasonably well on the career front.
But, a couple of twists and turns of fate and I could have been Jeff. And only one or two twists and turns at that. Socially unadjusted, semi-crazed loner, working retail in his 40s, who drinks excessively? Ok, so I don't work retail (though I did in my teens) or drink very much, but minus the customers, I could definitely see enjoying hanging out at Best Buy eight hours a day. I love being around the gadgets and the big screen TVs. It's very calming. It could still happen and I feel I would be a fine addition to any Geek Squad staff!
Sadly, however, I lack Jeff's musical talent. But on the basis of other attributes, including what my hair might look like if I let if grow out, I'm going with Jeff.
How about you?
I am General Beckman. Short but commanding.
“…I’m no going to get into that.” Should be “Im not going to get into that.”
Just being a grammar whore Robert
How about BEN SILVERMAN as an option as one of the characters – not necessarily “on” CHUCK – but seemingly having EVERYTHING to do with whether or not Chuck – or any of the other characters you mention – will be back for a Season 3 ?? Someone could say, “I’m like Ben Silverman, either (a) I take FOREVER to negotiate a deal; (b) I like driving people crazy; or (c) Honestly, I have a job where I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HECK I’M DOING!!!
Just a thought. And thanks for being creative with Day 8. Some kind of diversion is needed before we reach the level of INSANITY!! No matter what the TSCC fans say (and I do/will feel badly for them if/when the show is canceled), YOU GUYS at tvbythenumbers ROCK, ROCK, ROCK!!!
Chuck himself – bad circumstances led to me not finishing college and working a job that I’m not a fan of at the age of 25. I think that’s why I like him so much.
… and the job I had before this was Office Max, which is similar enough to Buy More for me to get a serious kick out of it.
Well LEGALLY MAD and DEK are now taken care of, so it’s just a matter of time for an announcement. I figure tomorrow the leaks will start, if not it’s going to be a crazy week.
Definitely Chuck…was tops in my college class, got dumped my first day of law school orientation for a guy my ex then married three months later, and halfway through the program was an assistant manager at a RadioShack outside Boston.
Casey – I am all about rules, tradition and not suffering fools gladly – but underneath there is a heart of gold – I think – maybe not for Casey.
Dylan, I think that that makes you a typing whore, not a grammar whore since it is clearly a typo and not what Robert Seidman intended.

Changed from “Rumors Abound” to “To Be Continued?”
Chuck is what I’ve been for a while ( less cute ) , jeff what I have risk to become …Sarah the woman I never had ( and I will never have !!!
)
I’m most like Chuck, partly because Orion is testing his new intersect on me:D
Oh crap i hope General Beckman isn’t reading:)
I’d have to go with Chuck, actually, because I’ve been massively affected in my past by decisions I in no way could control, and had it drastically alter the course of my life… Hopefully I won’t have the “kicked out of university” part happen.
Also Lester, because somehow I always end up making really weird friends… I’m not a fink like he is though!
Loser nerd that married up, way up. Still not sure what she was thinking. Didn’t work in retail, but was a operator in a school computer center. Did I mention that my wife is really hot! So, Chuck. Like Robert, however, I was probably a decision or two away from Jeff.
Weird … when I look at http://www.doeschuckhaveathirdseason.com/ , it still says “Rumors Abound”.

I’d say I’m most like Morgan, I don’t take anything too seriously I love to laugh and joke around, I treat my friends like family and I like to do as little work as humanly possible!
I’m kind of Chuck crossed with Bryce, with a little Lester thrown in.
I might be a complete idiot, but what does DEK stand for?
Oh, and I would definitely put myself down as Chuck, minus the incredibly beautiful superchick.
I’m definitely most like Chuck. I did well throughout school and graduated college recently, only to enter an industry (print journalism) that is quickly dying, thus relegating me to minor jobs that certainly aren’t my dream jobs.
We’re also very similar in personality. I’m not a huge video gamer, but I definitely have a few favorites that I play regularly (Call of Duty being one of them). I’m also a huge goofball, I’m a social butterfly, and my charisma makes up for my physical shortcomings. I’ve also somehow managed to attract some very attractive females, although alcoholic beverages might also have had something to do with that (I did say I recently graduated from college, right?).
