Nielsen choose a pool of households and they extrapolate the numbers for the whole country. However, Chuck's fan base is mostly in their 20's and/or students at college away from home. There is a good chance that they are not accounted for. My guess is that the pool is not representative of the fan base. When you take lets say 10 000 households and you convert this into what 300 million people watch. It's bound to have errors.

Isnt this show geared toward people in their college years anyway? I dont know about you guys but I am not able to watch this show (or any shows) no matter what day it is. So they are not choosing the right way to handle the ratings. I HAVE to either watch it on hulu, or buy from iTunes. Simply because I have 5 other things recording on monday night which I watch on Friday-Sunday. I buy it to show support.

I'm also not sure if the ratings take into account DVR's that record the show and have people watching it later.

If I read correctly, ratings include live and same-day dvr recordings. So that could hurt shows like Chuck which may not be the MOST popular show on a Monday night, but people still may want to watch. I know that I, for one, like Hupp mentioned, have a ton of shows recording on Monday nights, and I certainly can't watch them all same day.

I'd be happy with that. Something about abbreviated seasons has take a liking for me so that we don't get filler, though with Chuck, I can't think of a single episode where I felt like I wasted my time, that it sucked or that it was filler. Still great to hear.

I would agree with that, no question. This is one series where I can't point out an episode and say, well I just wasted my time watching that.

Stop watching BSG and get your Chuck and Firefly on f00! Much better imho.

I finished BSG last week :p imo BSG is in a complete different class to Chuck, Chuck is 40 odd minutes show of Geek fun a bit like Reaper, the shows aren't amazing but they are a fun ride.
