And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Well, Chuck me!

If true I will be buying Subway, on Monday, for lunch!  :headbang:

I've been eating their breakfast sandwiches the past two weeks .
I'd forgotten how tasty they are .

A  toasted ham, egg, cheese, onion and green pepper with salt&pepper .

:)
It's nice here with a view of the trees
Eating with a spoon?
They don't give you knives?
'Spect you watch those trees
Blowing in the breeze
We want to see you lead a normal life

Jessi and I finally watched all the eps she'd missed this semester...oh my, what a ride. We realized that EVERY show, Casey had a 'Jaynesque' line...how cool is that? And there are always 'Adam-centric' nods too. We love that.

Fingers crossed that the 3rd season is a go. That would ensure a panel at Comic Con...*woot*

Yes, Tink, I think I will (virtually, anyway cause I surely don't want Mrs. Tink mad at me!!)

Wooohoooo!!  That's one down and several to go.  (C'mon networks, renew Castle, T:SCC, Dollhouse, The Unit, Eleventh Hour, Without a Trace, and Life)!!

Am I the only person in the United States that just hates reality shows??  It seems like that's all the networks want anymore and I'm so sick of them I can't stand it.

I'd love for more T:TSCC, but I think that's all we're gonna get. I HAVE to have more Castle! I also want more Life.

They'd be crazy not to renew Chuck, but then, we know that they aren't always sane, or else we'd not be seeing those reality shows.

That article made it sound like there's no hope of Life being renewed.  Seriously hope it's wrong.

Hey, Saxon and Angi, Don't hold out hope for Life. Every other show that had its kind of ratings gets canceled. It's just the way the cookie crumbles. I hate it because I am as big a fan as you guys.

Update 3:  Nikki Finke is reporting that pretty much everything but Life,  and Knight Rider will be picked up by NBC and announced on Monday (actually she hasn't mentioned Kath & Kim or My Name is Earl yet).

Update 2: Saturday May 2, 11:30A PDT:  The Hollywood Reporter has updated its story on Southland's renewal (Southland is still renewed) to include the following:

    However, NBC is not expected to make a final decision on the fate of all of them by Monday, with fan favorite "Chuck" among those who will remain in contention beyond the infront.

So it looks like we're just going to have to wait.

Update: Saturday May 2:  from our friends at Watch With Kristin on E Online:

    When asked last night at an Eva Longoria Parker-hosted charity event benefiting Children's Hospital Los Angeles about prospects for a third season of Chuck, Levi said, "I thought we were going to hear about it this Monday because NBC's announcing a bunch of its schedule, but I just got an email from [Chuck executive producer] Josh Schwartz, and he said stay positive, [but] we're not going to find out on Monday. It could be another week or two. They're making their final tallies and decisions."

Saw the following from Michael Ausiello on Twitter:

    BREAKING CHUCK UPDATE: Hearing NBC may not make a decision on Monday as expected. I'm told not to read anything into that. Developing...

Like many of you, I wasn't expecting the full schedule announcement from NBC on Monday, but was expecting announcements about which series would be returning.   I hope what Ausiello is hearing is not true, but if it is, it's currently hard to read anything into it. If NBC winds up delaying announcements for all shows, then there's absolutely nothing to read into that.   But, if NBC is only delaying the annoucement for Chuck, however, I would definitely read something into it and that's that NBC and Warner Brothers are still negotiating.
