i dunno, this seems to be shaping up to be the worst season of the show. i don't really like the direction it's going in, but i guess. maybe i'll change my mind as the season progresses

[gobo]

I have to agree that it seems like there's no way in hell they can efficiently conclude all the relevant plot threads. But, I'm not looking at all the spoiler stuff. So, I really dunno what to expect.

thank god Morgan's no longer going to be the intersect, which has me wondering now what? who gets it now?

[gobo]

I just heard the theme song on some movie Andy Griffith was in. How did I forget that there were lyrics? "I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooooooong jacket" Chuck's theme song is just an instrumental of that.

I can't wait for December though. Things are getting so interesting. :thyper:

Near the end of October, NBC began airingthe final season of the spy action-adventure show, and even though it hasn't concluded yet (and won't until the end of January)
O_O AM NOT HAPPY!! :flaming:

At least they nixed that 'on the run' crap... Woulda been too upsetting IMO.

^ Main reason I haven't bought any of the discs yet... I want to see if they're going to honor it with a boxset. But, even if they do, I imagine it'll be DVD-only. :ohwell:

Not necessarily dude! Allot of series' have been getting the whole collection on blu-ray treatment, such as Torchwood, although it skyrockets the price some

[gobo]

Not putting up the ep descriptions this week. Hurts too much. :cry: Trying to avoid spoilers, but I have a bad feeling that Chuck won't get the 'happily ever after' he deserves.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I just cant believe the last season was so short

[Xav]

Hey just be glad we got a final season to wrap things up, instead of ending on a cliffhanger.

Dude I know it but I'm still bummed! Wtf did it have to end?

[gobo]

I was satisfied with the finale. Pretty crappy plot, but still watchable. It was pretty much like a random not-so-great ep. Kind of a cheat that they left the conclusion up to the audience, but at least it wasn't as lame a finale as Smallville had.

[Xav]

Dude I know it but I'm still bummed! Wtf did it have to end? Well yeah, the ratings for the show weren't very good.

Grimm shoulda been cancelled first. Painfully pathetic show, that... >_<

True that

Really? Hadn't heard that

DVD/Bluray announced (http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Chuck-Season-5-Press-Release/16474)...

[Brandon]

It was a decent ending, very underwhelming and defiantly not up there with the greats but it was alright, honestly i thought the entire final season was just kinda eh which is a shame because i love chuck and i am glad it ended because this wasn't the only eh season, it started going downhill last season and this season it just felt like a bunch of filler that could of fleshed out a better ending.

I do however hope a complete set does come eventually.

True that




Really? Hadn't heard that
Really? the show was literally on the verge of being cancelled for every single season, it's a miracle the show lasted more than 2 seasons because the ratings were awful, they were literally going to cancel it numerous times but thankfully they listened to the hardcore fans, and they got a sponsorship from subway.

It's sad networks, especially in a DVR/Internet age still go by ratings and give these shows their fate from the ratings, they need to stop it and more and more networks are starting to realize most people now watch it on DVR, Hulu, Official network sites, buy off itunes/amazon etc.

It's one of the reasons i adore FX so much, minus the absurd cancellation of Terriers they have been great to shows, giving them multiple chances even with piss poor ratings.

oh wow, see i guess i don't pay enough attention to that crap to really care, and good for the hardcore fans

agreed about the ratings, but i disagree that "most people now watch it on DVR, Hulu, Official network sites, buy off itunes/amazon etc" because i think television audiences still make the majority.

but i find it hard to believe that more people watch a sh*t show like Modern Family then a good show like Chuck
