Truthfully, I’ve spoken with some other folks (some of the few to whom I mention CHUCK who’ve actually watched the show and know what I’m talking about) and I’ve received the same response, which is basically this: “Tired of the on again/off again and will they/won’t they with the Chuck and Sarah thing.” (Maybe that works for teen-oriented shows, but I’m pretty sure that Chuck’s primary fan base isn’t teen-angsters).

Bottom line, so far what I’ve seen in the previews looks like it has the potential to be the most entertaining season yet. But this show will either live or die with what the writers put out this season. And if it dies, no excuses. It’s like baseball. Three strikes and you’re out. CHUCK is up at the plate with two strikes (seasons). If he can’t hit the ball out of the park – or at least hit a double (and some improved – even slightly – ratings) I think this will be the end – as much as that pains me to say it. And if it ends, it can’t be said that it was because it wasn’t given enough chances.

All I can say is, “GO CHUCK, GO!” for S3 – And hope for the best.

Watched the clip. Hope they aren’t using the new abilities too much.

By the way Ali Adler is writing 3.14 now. They have 3 weeks off then come back to shoot some more so they have plenty of time to get things in order.

Also here is all 4 promos in HD. http://www.youtube.com/user/rac2873

Just saw this Season 2 DVD extra that Adam Baldwin linked.

Enjoy John Casey explaining what it takes to be a “deadly spy”.

Having her show up on CHUCK would ROCK!!! Who knows? We’ll have six or possibly more episodes after the first 13.

I think a BRILLIANT plan would have one of the actors (Zach, Yvonne, Adam and all the rest) appearing at Subways in the downtowns of major cities (and thus major TV viewing markets) on a given day in advance of the return of the show. L.A., Chicago, New York, etc. That would get coverage – I would think – in the local media of each of those cities. Benefits Subway and CHUCK – a “win/win” for both.

We fans need to remember to continue to support Subway – especially on nights that CHUCK is on – and keep dropping in those comment cards or comment emails thanking them for sponsoring CHUCK. (and NO, I don’t work for Subway or have any connection whatsoever).

That’s it. PEACE, all!

The 2-hour Sunday return is January 10 with the timeslot return the next night, Monday January 11.

Awesome for me! Two hours each of Chuck and Heroes in two nights!

I think if NBC is smart they will push Chuck like hell during the NFL season. (largest number of eyes watching the Peacock, and most of them are already in Chuck’s demographic)

Chuck talk: Good! Can’t wait.

Heroes talk: Improved this season (story-wise), and hope the ratings improve with it!

Whether Ausiello is a jerk or not, I have no basis for comment, but of the different websites I follow, he *did* have the info about Chuck up first. Just to be fair.

Boo-ya, and much thanks in advance!

“Eric people watch 2.5men because its a simple sitcom, it has little or any story arcs in the storyline, which allows viewers to pick up at anytime and watch without the worry of feeling lost on the shows progression. Its why Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers, Everybody Love Raymond, and a few others all went on for as long as they did, and why they all had huge audiences.”

Well, that and those shows were actually *good* (well, really ELR and 2.5 Men are about at the same mediocre par) But anyway, 2.5 (and CBS in general) does sitcoms the traditional way whereas ABC and NBC have moved on to single-camera, lack-track new-wave comedies. If Seinfeld was on today it probably wouldn’t have a laugh track, but it was trapped in the 90s when it had no option.

“Chuck will not beat FOX or ABC, but it has a very good chance of beating CBS. Three Rivers (1.8) and Cold Case (2.2) are extremely weak. Chuck could easily beat those shows. But the important day will be Monday in its original time slot.”

Well, for one of those two hours there’s nothing airing on FOX at all. And does it’s animation block get good numbers? I thought they were merely passable but made themselves cost-effective due to how cheap they are.
