I'll be sorry to see it end, but what a great ride!

(Can we get a movie?)

That sounds conjectural...but:

NOOOOOOOO!!!

That is all.

Hmm......i really love the show, so it's not a good thing to hear, though i am a tad skeptical about this news.

The quote that it takes from Josh Shwartz is something ive read in many reports before; about how the finale for the season would be a game changer and all that, but ive also read that the finale they have is planned as a season, not series finale, so i'm guessing even if they do wrap up major things, that they'll open a few new cans of worms. So yeah, other than the article itself taking the perspective of unlikely renewability, there's nothing new there.

I think i'll wait for an official report before i consider it gone; its too good a show for me to give up on!

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

Not so fast there, Chris. It's my impression that McDonald's is relatively new to the "lovin' it" business ("[doing] it all for [us]" worked so well for so long). If you can prove in a court of law that you've been "lovin' it" longer than Mickey-D.'s has, they may owe you an apology...and a fat check...maybe you should talk to Hero about this.

It was like that when we got here!

I can not see this show coming to an end. It appears to be very popular. So there may be changes, which would be okay as long as they keep the same cast. I can not help enjoying Chuck's balancing the world of being a spy and working for Buy More.

I had hope for Chuck, back in the first few episodes... it was a fun show, written by and for smart people. Then, NBC realized they had a mild hit on their hands - due in no small part to its pre-Heroes time slot.

The show was dumbed-down almost overnight for the new, pop audience -- cameos by "cool" (vapid) stars like Nicole Richie, Andy Richter, Jenny McCarthy, and Michael Strahan.

The guest stars might have been ok, had they maintained the quality in the stories, the snap in the dialogue, the inside jokes that only nerds like Chuck and me (the core fanbase) would get. IMHO, they did not.

While I understand why they did what they did to Chuck, I don't have to like it! I gave up on Chuck at Nicole Richie, and never looked back.

I got hooked on the last 3 new eps of Chuck before I got the first season on DVD and saw the first 3 eps from that, and the only difference I'm noticing is Chuck's quite natural acclimation to the danger factor in season 2.

Am I just dumb?

No need. I mean, the slogan was a quick fix replacement for an ad where a man looked at burger and proclaimed "I'd hit it!"

McDonalds wanted to show how with it they were. And they did. Now all I can say is Ewww!

As for Chuck. Ah well. It was television. It was fun, a mix of good stuff and trite elements. I pretty much think that TV has entered into the spiral of doom, where suck is going to outrank success increasingly.

In the future, I expect to see a line up that looks like this:

More Cartoon Ass Jokes
America's Fakest Home Videos
Non-Music Television
American Heroes, a drama about soldiers killing muslims because it's necessary to save america
Safe Money: How to manage your debt so that you never pay principle, only interest.
Serial Killer reality show
Homeland Security 9.11 A show about the valiant efforts of counter terrorism.
People picking their noses. (this will be a top ratings getter!)

Everyone else will have to go somewhere else.
