Despite repeats on all but one of the other networks, NBC's "Chuck" and "Heroes" generated their lowest ratings ever on Monday night says THR Feed.

"Chuck" (2.2/6, 6.5 million viewers) saw a slight dip while "Heroes" (3.3/8, 6.9 million viewers) was down 8% from its previously established settling point.

Both shows placed last in their hours among the major broadcast networks nd many now wonder if either series will make it beyond their finales in May.

The "Heroes" drain is familiar - fans have been complaining for over a year now about the show's quality and an attempted reboot with 'Volume Four' the other week seems to have not paid off.

The "Chuck" drain is strange as critical reviews have only been getting stronger and ratings were up for its recent 3D episode. Fox's "House" in the same time period however seems to be draining the audience.

Bad news for Chuck it seems.

Ruh roh. House is a pretty popular show, having it go up against Chuck was something I never did like :(

I can't believe people are watching House over this. I've heard from numerous House watchers that the show is the same thing every time. There is a mysterious disease, nobody can figure it out, they talk about it for 40 minutes, then House solves it. Wash, rinse, repeat.

you can over-simplify anything. for example, chuck:

something bad is going to happen. they show some slap-stick comedy for 40 minutes. chuck is told to stay in the car but doesn't and winds up saving the day. at the end chuck gets depressed that he and sarah can't ever be together. wash, rinse, repeat.

see? that wasn't very hard now was it :rolleyes:

Isn't this down to the digital switch-over?
a very small fraction of tv audiences were affected by the transition (not all the tv stations have transitioned yet), and i bet a very small fraction of those watched chuck. so no, it's not

While that is somewhat true, they have, so far, delivered it in a fresh way almost each time, which makes it less of a wash, rinse, repeat. Heroes, on the other hand, has nearly carbon copied itself and shown a significant lack of originality or common sense, while Chuck has improved on the story telling greatly.

I have to agree here at here. I haven't heard anybody talk about Chuck in that way but any of my friends that watch House can (and have told me) that exact formula for each House episode.

Just finished the new episode. It was great (Y) this show just continues to improve. One of the interesting things about this show is that it is written by the same guy who wrote The O.C.

Talk about a big plot difference

Missed tonight's episode but I had it DVR'ed so thankfully I'll be watching later this week.

Anyone know the name of the song, played on piano on a few of the more sad/lovey scenes? It sounded familiar :s

I don't have time to check them, but it's probably one of the songs listed here: http://www.tvshowmusic.com/shows/chuck/season02.html

The latest episodes are at the bottom.

That scene was nice to watch! I really loved the scene at the end. Chuck knows it's not going anywhere with Sarah but he wants her really bad.

The preview for next week with Sarah being fired :o. What will she do the deserve this? Unless they wants us to think the worse.

And also that the General doesn't want Chuck to remove the Intersect from him

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
