I like the incorporation of the shows characters in the Honda commercials.

  Anyone know why they took her off?  I get shooting Emmet. I wanted to do that myself but
I thought she really brought something to the Buy More cast.

Probably had to cut costs somewhere. It looks like they are using green screens as backdrops and CGI'ing the 'locations' in as well. As long as it keeps the show on the air, I can live with it.

Pearl said it was due to cost cutting.

I was surprised too.

Ratings from 1/11/2010 episode:

Here's what NBC PR had to say about Chuck:

    * At 8 p.m. ET, the regular-slot season premiere of "Chuck" (2.6 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49, 7.3 million viewers overall) scored the show's highest regular-slot results in 18-49 and total viewers since the special 3-D telecast on February 2, 2009, the night after the Super Bowl. It was also the biggest total-viewer average for NBC in this time period with regular programming since that February 2 "Chuck."  In a time slot that last night included competition from Fox's "House," ABC's "The Bachelor" and CBS's comedies, "Chuck" generated growth from its first half-hour to its second of 8 percent in adults 18-49 (to a 2.7 from a 2.5) and 16 percent in adults 18-34 (2.2 vs. 1.9).

    * Compared with NBC's average in the time-period last season, last night's "Chuck" is up 18 percent in 18-49 rating (2.6 vs. 2.2, live plus same day) and up 14% in total viewers (7.322 million vs. 6.409 million).

Chuck got a 2.5 A18-49 rating the first half hour and a 2.7 the last half hour.

If the ratings keep up, maybe they can bring back Anna!

  The second show lacked Ellie and Awesome which looks like may be a trend since they
are not living with Chuck anymore they won't be showing up in casual at home scenes.
This is not good if they are going to lose the charm of secondary characters to cost cut.
That is what made this show the quirky gem it is.

Maybe good ratings gets them more money to spend on the show? I hope.
