Chuck vs. The Cancellation

Haha, nice! 

They should have put Chuck's sister and Awesome in there for the hotties, though.

Still, I can't decide if I want "more hotties" or "more explosions".

Chuck's Ryan McPartlin ("Captain Awesome") appreciates the fans' support

Yes, I love the show Chuck.  Yes, I write about Chuck a lot.  I'm not ashamed of it.  Yes, I write more about Chuck because a.) it's on the bubble and b.) I watch the show and enjoy it.  While I don't think my love of Chuck has impaired my judgment of the renewal prospects for the show, it has certainly influenced the frequency of Chuck posts.    I won't deny that.  And though I understand that might annoy some of you, you'll get over it.

We have Chuck on the bubble really only because of Jay Leno taking five hours of the schedule next fall.  Otherwise, we'd be predicting renewal.  And unless Bill watched about 20 episodes of Chuck on his iPhone while he was in Mexico, Bill isn't the unabashed fan of the show I am.  He still comes to the same conclusions on the show's prospects.  He doesn't know what will happen either.

Neither do the people on the cast and crew.  Sure, we have one guy in the comments who says he hears the show is going to be renewed, but in terms of that intel being any good, I'd lean towards thinking he's just a super-huge-Chuck fan, who like me, hopes the show comes back.   What we hear that I'd give complete credibility to is the following:

    * Cast and crew hasn't heard anything yet
    * The sets haven't been dismantled yet

Good sources at the Warner Brothers lot tell me the sets haven't been dismantled yet.  That doesn't mean the show has been renewed.  But it does very likely mean no decision to cancel it has been made yet either.   I think it's fair to assume that WB and NBC are still negotiating and that no decision has been made.

Bill and I got a nice note from Ryan McPartlin who plays the role of Devon "Captain Awesome"  Woodcomb on Chuck.  He and the rest of the cast are apparently still as much in the dark as the rest of us, but McPartlin is very appreciative of the outpouring of support for the show on the Internet, and hopeful that the show's momentum (it picked up a couple of ticks among adults 18-49 year olds last Monday) carries into the season finale.

Word on tvbythenumbers.com is that NBC will announce their new season May 5th.

Clue me in on the reference. I never saw the movie and see this posted on fark all the time.

From The 40 Year Old Virgin:

Cal: You're gay, now?
David: No, I'm not gay. I'm just celibate.
Cal: I think... I mean, that sounds gay. I just want you to know this is, like, the first conversation of, like, three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like, there's this and then in a year it's like, "Oh, you know, I'm kinda gonna want to get back out there, but I think I like guys," and then there's the big, "Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm a gay guy now."
David: You're gay for saying that.
Cal: I'm gay for saying that?
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How? How do you know I'm gay?
David: Because you macramed yourself a pair of jean shorts.
Cal: You know how I know *you're* gay? You just told me you're not sleeping with women any more.
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How? Cause you're gay? And you can tell who other gay people are?
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like Coldplay.

The 40 Year-Old Virgin picture makes me laugh because just this weekend we were out with a bunch of our friends. One friend related a story about pre-teen boys running around slapping each other on the shoulder and saying, "You're gay!".  The girls in the same story were much-more catty with their insults (ie, "Those stripes make you look much thinner!"). 

So, of course, for the rest of the night we were slapping each other on the shoulder and saying, "You're gay!".

Oh and if you're a guy and you don't like explosions, you must be gay!
