All I know that if NBC cancels Chuck, I will no longer watch NBC.  Not because I am vindictive, but because Chuck is the only NBC show I watch.

What ?
You mean you aren't gonna watch Leno five times a week ?

I don't think that even NBC thinks that the whole Leno thing is a good idea. I don't know how long their contract is, but I bet they will be trying to get out of it before all is said and done.

Remember several years back when ABC had "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" on like five or six hours a week and then people quit watching all at once and ABC had to scramble to come up with programming? I think this is going to happen to NBC next year. People will stay away in droves.

I never really watched to start with , but yeah , it seemed like Regis 24/7 for some time there .

( still love the guy - he's irrepressible )

I kind of watch Heroes, but am usually playing poker on the computer while it's on.

I am forcing myself to watch Heroes. Heroes was kind of like when you are stoned and order a hugeass pizza and it takes forever to get here and once it finally does get there it is great but about 3/4 the way through it you go jeez did I really need to do this and you keep going because you have so much invested in it and there really isn't that much more left and then you can be done with it but then that last bit you realize that this is really not good at all and hasn't been since forever and it can't get much worse, really, can it so you go ahead and finish but know you might start puking any thyme now and you just start begging for it to all end. Heroes is like that, but with lame plots.

Eyes glazing over.... long run-on sentence....  <poof>

I am still craving a Subway Club...and still haven't had the chance to go get one! Gingi ran to get fastfood today while we were busy getting stuff ready for faire. She said, 'fastfood mom....that means I stay in these PJ pants and don't leave my car'....so she went to Carl's Jr. instead. *hrumph*

Maybe tonight.

On the Fark thread one guy said this:

My house is a Nielsen house, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Yes! Bow before your tv ratings overlords!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA

/Chuck is on EVERY MONDAY at my house
//Me, the wife, and the kids are all having Subway next Monday for dinner

As far as pleas to save TV shows go, stars working behind the counter at Subway has to count as one of the less obvious ones. But that's exactly what Chuck's Zachary Levi did recently.

Trying to drum up support for a third season of NBC's Chuck, Levi and fellow star Adam Baldwin ended up treating 400 British convention goers to lunch at a local Subway this weekend. UK blog End of Show was there to eat... I mean, report:

    Fan Wendy Farrington had the unique idea of getting fans to follow the money and show the sandwich franchise Subway that the show they were sponsoring had an audience. She presented the idea to Zachary Levi who plays the titular character Chuck Bartowski at Starfury conventions T1 event in Birmingham, UK. Levi and Adam Baldwin (Casey) then asked the hundreds of con attendees to follow them on en masse to the local Subway.

    Levi, who described the show as "On the good side of the bubble", even got behind the counter and helped out the besieged staff of the outlet in the Birmingham NEC exhibition centre, staying until the very last fan was served.

On the one hand, that's very generous of Levi and Baldwin. On the other, they'd really better hope that the show gets picked up for another season if they're going to keep pulling stunts like that in future; $5 footlongs may seem like a bargain at first, but not when you're buying 400 of them at a time.

Chuck's season finale airs on NBC tonight at 8pm.
