TV Show "Chuck" goes in the 3rd Season

TV Show "Chuck" goes in the 3rd Season. You may be wondering what a TV show called “Chuck” has to do with web design? Well it doesn’t directly deal with web development, but it does contain numerous geekery. Well actually I do recall that Chuck has XSLT and Programming Perl books in his room.

I really only started watching the show right after this year’s Super bowl. I was amazed at how the show mixed so many genres into one killer show. It had action, romance, and comedy while not making it too forced or unnatural.

The network picked up 13 episodes of the series from Warner Bros., which, in a business-side trend this year, made some budget concessions to secure the show a third season.

Fans pushed NBC very hard for a pickup, launching a “Save Chuck” campaign that included buying sandwiches at series sponsor Subway.

Chuck joins Southland among the shows NBC has renewed for fall. Given that 10 p.m. will be off the board due to Jay Leno’s talk show, the network has considerably fewer slots than usual to fill.

Confidence has been pretty high that Chuck would return. Once Fox found a way to make the much lesser-rated Dollhouse work for fall late last week, Chuck returning to NBC seemed almost certain. It also probably hasn’t hurt that star Zachary Levi has been a team player for NBC, appearing in the network’s PSA campaigns, marketing promotions and events.

Here’s Chuck’s 18-49 ratings for the season, with the final number having gone up a tenth in the nationals since this chart was created. As you can see, for all the woes about the show’s ratings, it actually performed fairly steady, dropping only slightly in midseason.
