If NBC Cancels Chuck without a 3rd season

Things I will do if NBC Cancels Chuck:
  • Kill Kittens
  • Stop watching NBC for the rest of my Life.
  • Kill More Kittens
I'm serious, this is the LAST time I get invested in a television show. ABC's done it twice to me this year, and this is the THIRD time in two years that NBC has done it to me. Y'all can suck it.

Whoever is in charge of making these decisions...I want their job. I would be so much better at it.

Canceling shows is a necessary evil for all TV shows. From M*A*S*H to ER, it happens eventually. Even Monday Night Football was canceled on ABC in order to move to it's sister network, ESPN.

However, if I was a network, I would be much more transparent with the whole process. Just because a show has ONLY 6.3 million weekly viewers, that doesn't mean that it only has 6.3 million fans. Most of the television I watch is online, and I would love to see more of the ratings system accommodate the millions of people that use recorded TV like Tivo, and online TV like Hulu.

I was reading an article the other day about ER and how "big" their finale wasn't. Who gives a crap if it ONLY had 15 million viewers. There's probably double that amount that watched it online sometime that week.

ugh.
