I really hope 'Chuck' comes back for a full season (or 2....or 3). It's a unique well written show AND has Adam Baldwin....what more could you ask for?? I haven't seen all of season 2's episodes yet, but I did see a clip from the episode 'vs the Sensi'(sp) and loved the 'shout out' to Firefly - "you are damaging my calm, Chuck" - as well as the refrences to Spies Like Us -"Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor..." - and Quantum Leap - "Oh boy"- in the later episodes. I signed up on nbc.com's discussion boards to join the fans save 'Chuck' movement.

A week and day (hopefully less) before we learn the fate of "Chuck". I'm gettin' nervous. Why won't they just announce it already?
SHEESH!!!!
Mal: You think she'll hold together?
Zoë: She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true.
Mal: Could be bumpy.
Zoë: Always is

I know, I wish they'd just tell us now if it's renewed or not. I really really hope it is.
I was just reading your blog entry and Pushing Dasies was one of my favorites too, but I'd lost track of it for a while after the writers strike.
I too think that Adam Baldwin 'deserves to have a steady job' for a loooong time. I love watching him in the background of scenes when he doesn't have lines. His reactions and just the character things he does are fabulous. He's really under rated, isn't he?

May 19th seems to be the date that the major networks announce their fall lineup. Read that "Castle", Nathan's show, won't know if it's coming back for a second season until May 19th either.

I'm just saying that Chuck was their golden child last season (Season 1). It was getting great reviews and it had a lot of viewers. Then (and I'll say this 'til my face turns blue) that stupid writer's strike hit and many people's interests turned elsewhere. Just like ShinyVera said she liked Pushing Daisies but lost track of it after the strike. The same thing happened here. Instead of standing behind one of their stronger shows that certainly didn't weaken in quality after the strike, they hem and haw about it. It drives me crazy.

I've been a big supporter of Heroes from the beginning. The first season, though it had some flaws was excellent. But the finale was weak. Then the strike-shortened Season 2. Started weak and got suckier as time went on. Season 3 started a bit better, started to suck, got better again and then the finale . . . weak, weak, weak. At this point I don't care much what happens.
I'm with ya. I *loved* the first season - it was unlike anything out there. It felt like they knew exactly what they were doing, and where it was headed. Ever since then, though, it's felt like the writers have no idea where they're going, or where they're trying to end up. It just feels like they're bouncing around aimlessly with not overall sense of story and no "big picture" of the season-long story arcs or the grander "great arc" of the entire series.
With Buffy and Angel - and Firefly in its foreshortened time - you might not have had any idea where Joss was taking you, but you had a definite feeling that HE KNEW where he was going. I don't get that at all with Heroes anymore. It feels like they're writing the episodes based entirely on feedback from focus groups watching last week's episode!
