Chuck is one of my favorite shows on TV right now. It's so ridiculously entertaining that I haven't even thought for a second that it might not be renewed for a third season. But that's a possibility.Co-creator and producer Josh Schwartz tells Sci-Fi Wire that even if the show is not picked up for another season, the season finale will be very satisfying for fans but at the same time will be a "game changer." Schwartz says the finale (and they are considering this a finale, because they don't know if they're going to be renewed or not) will launch the show in a new direction. It's actually the finale that they've been planning to do since the first episode.
Hmmm...I have no idea what this could mean. Unless it means that Chuck and Sarah really get together and/or Chuck loses his ability somehow and goes back to a normal life. Probably not the latter, since they'd have to change the entire premise of the show. Maybe retool it as a half-hour sitcom that focusing on Buy More and life at home with Chuck and Sarah.
Nah. The cast is great, but I don't want to watch According To Chuck.

I'd like to see him and Sara be together with him leaving the Buy More because he is too good for that job. Possibly have him embrace being a spy since he has been becoming a better one as the season has progressed. Guess we will have to see what they have in store when it airs.

There is a lot worse crap on the tube that needs to go first. Like every other reality series.
This show is by far a loser show... great cast, good writing, no reason why it couldn't grow its audience by next season. Hey, they gave Friday Night Lights another shot...

Wow, I knew it hadn't been renewed, but I didn't know that there was a chance it wouldn't get renewed at all.
I'll be honest, I torrent it. It comes on against House, HIMYM and big bang theory. They need to renew season 3 and move it away from everyone else.

I also watch both House and Big Bang Theory and HIMYM but I watch Chuck live and DVR the others. I've loved Chuck since episode one and got my entire family to watch it.

I get every single show I watch from newsgroups. Much faster than torrents!

Disappointing. I DVR Chuck and House, but this season I like Chuck more. I cannot stand the House/Cuddy relationship. I really enjoy Chuck and yes, get rid of all the reality shows, yuk.

I will really be sad if they get rid of Chuck. This show is definetly an "under the radar" type of show, but it is so damn good. This last season has been amazing. I hope we see it again next season.

NBC needs to get their act together and renew Chuck now. It's the most entertaining show on TV.

One thing I don't like is that Chuck is constantly pimped out by NBC. Michael Strahan and Jerome Bettis guess star. What do you know, NFL on NBC stars! And he 3D episode that I thought was not one of the better Chuck episodes.

According to www.tvbythenumbers.com , Chuck is doing better in the ratings than Earl, Law and Order, and Kath & Kim. I don't see any reason why they'd cancel it.

Aw. It'd be sad, but really there's just way too many shows on Mondays. I record Chuck and watch HIMYM/BBT.

I've said all season long that I think the season will end with Chuck and Sarah getting together which will change the game in a lot of different ways.
I'd be real upset if this show doesn't come back. There are so few hour long comedies that are this good.

if they do cancel it would be a damn shame. Heroes has been garbage most of the last two years and chuck has been really really entertaining.
chuck has been gettin attention, the problem is that house, Dancing with the stars and CBS are on. it's hard on that slot.
i mean people love house, the idiots watch some D-list celebrity dance, and cbs has some pretty good sitcoms. it's hard for that show to grow more than its core audience, but after all it does guarantee at least 6.5 mill every monday. that should count for something. maybe slash the budget?

Chuck is one of the very few old-school Network shows I watch. I'll be extremely disappointed if it doesn't get picked up for a third season, particularly if it gets axed simply due to being on a too-crowded night, without even trying to find a more hospitable timeslot.

I am a grandparent raising our 16 year old grandson and Chuck is the only show we sit down and watch together. I enjoy the technology end of it and the show is written well. There is so much garbage on TV and I can't understand why they would even consider dropping the series. Is there someway that NBC can hear from it's viewers and quit listening to the bias ratings??
