I could never understand the logic of the TV programmers, whom, two years ago, put “Chuck”, “Big Bang Theory”, and “Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles” all on at the same time – when they all have the exact same target audience. All three suffered because of it.

Yeah, but Lost is on at 9pm, and it’s only on in the Winter (I believe). Wednesday at 8 would be good for Chuck.

Heck, I’d love to check out Big Bang Theory, but I can only DVR House and Chuck at 8, and then I’ve got to DVR Heroes and 24 at 9. Monday’s just have a lot of good action/genre shows.

Chuck’s season finale was just brilliant. I wish NBC would allow it to continue. Although the series could conceivably end right there, continuing it would be the best option, what with all the interesting new directions that have been laid out. What incredible potential. It would be a shame if the producers don’t get to pursue it, and we don’t get to see and enjoy it.

Robert Frost, nothing on on Wednesdays? What about a little show called LOST? I know it’s not the megabeast that it once was, but it still has a loyal following (among whom are I’m sure the creators of CHUCK – remember when Chuck flashed on Oceanic Flight 815?). Perhaps a more accurate statement would be to say that there’s nothing on on NBC on Wednesdays.

That said, moving CHUCK to Wednesdays at 8 would be fantastic, and would make a nice two hours of television between that and LOST, which I know is not NBC’s prerogative, but whatever. One can hope, right?

No, the best show no one is watching is Kings. And NBC really followed through with that. But they really need to keep Monday night around (sans Medium. WTF NBC?)

The Monday slot is “ratings suicide” because it is up against powerhouses “House” and “Dancing with the Stars”. Wednesday would be a good place for it because there is absolutely nothing on Wednesdays except “South Park”.

‘Guys…I know Kung Fu’ has to be one of the freshest cliche’d moments in TV history….Looks like they sent Zach to the same dojo Kris Kreuk went to for ‘Chun Li’

Let’s just say that according to the 2 ‘season’ finales.. Chuck stepped up BIGTIME while that other show spit the bit….

Chuck has to be back next season. They can’t leave us hanging after that awesome end, they just can’t. Can they? Well yeah but here’s hoping not. More Chuck! More Chuck! please?

The whole “to be continued” thing makes it hard to believe it would be the series finale. And also the fact that chuck has finally realized that he is a spy, tells us that the show might be around for a bit. But how are its ratings? Are people actually watching the show?

pastrygems: Why was the Monday slot “ratings suicide,” and what would you consider a more viable timeslot?

I hate to use this phrase, but Chuck is “the best show that no one is watching”. The season finale was amazing and a perfect way to finish up the season. Not to mention i don’t think i’ve ever wanted to see two people get together more in my life. To cancel this show would be a travesty. I really hope this “talk” is rumor and nothing more…the world needs more Chuck.

pastrygems:

No such thing as ratings suicide. I’m dating myself here, but I remember a time when Thursday at 8 was dominated by Magnum PI. That is, it was until Dr. Cliff Huxtable and family moved in next door. There is no timeslot that can’t be won by the right programming.

That being said, this is a show that deserves NBC’s support. It is (was?) easily my favorite show on the major networks.

I just read where on NBC’s site they “accidently” called Monday’s episode a “series” finale, before taking the article down and correcting it.

Oh, well. We’ll find out Chuck’s fate in a couple of weeks. The networks announce their fall schedules in the first few weeks of May.

I LOVE Chuck – it is such an awesome show. I can’t believe they are even whispering the word ‘cancelled’. Why doesn’t NBC consider giving it a timeslot that isn’t ratings-suicide?

“Chuck” must continue. I echo the words “MORE!!!!” NBC, please renew “Chuck” for another season.

Great episode and I loved the ending. Hope it comes back. It’s one of my favorite shows on tv right now.

MORE MORE MORE!! Loved the finale, but I want it to be a SEASON finale, not a series finale.
