Go to NBC.com, at the bottom of the page there is a link for feedback.  They have a "survey" of what channels and shows you watch.  If everyone we know clicks Chuck & Life, maybe it'll give these bozos a clue!!

Done!

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

Chuck does not appear on NBC's fall schedule. It hasn't been officially canceled nor has it been renewed.

This blows.

Yeah, they said they valued my opinion and wanted me to be a part of their survey team. I told them to fark off and die if they canceled Chuck and Leno could DIAF.

Nikki Finke updates the backroom dealing on the renewal of Chuck:

"3RD UPDATE: I've learned why announcements regarding the renewal fates of Chuck and My Name Is Earl have been delayed. And it involves more horsetrading than the Triple Crown. My sources tell me that NBC lowballed the Earl license fee, and the show's owner, Twentieth Century Fox, came back with a proposal which NBC has been sitting on for a few days. As for Chuck, this gets complicated. Turns out NBC didn't like David E Kelley's Warner Bros pilot Legally Mad. Problem is, there's a $2 million penalty that gets paid to WB if the network doesn't pick up the show. So NBC is hoping to work a deal tying the renewal of Chuck, which is also a WB show, to a pass on paying that Legally Mad penalty."


Bottom line, there is still hope.

So Chuck is balanced on a knife's edge because of a Lawyer show ?
God knows there aren't any of those on right now .

:P

( hey , how about a Crime fighting lawyer who works in the ER of a CSI Unit ? )

But this is different!
This is a David Kelley lawyer show. You know, L.A. Law, Ally McBeal, The Practice, Boston Legal, Boston Public. These lawyers are hip, young, and snarky. Plus they really care about justice. ;)
