i really dont know where this show can go from here. it feels complete to me which saddens me. i just dont want this show to suck for 2 seasons like heroes did. seriously another rogue spy agency?i still dont know why fulcrum was bad to begin with other than that they wanted the intersect and were willing to kill for it.

but seriously move some of these damn shows around. how am i supposed to watch chuck, heroes, house, himym, big bang, and 24 all at the same time?

The only way I've gotten around it is a DVR for 2 shows at the same time, and watching the third one online. Not the best, but it works.

Didn't you notice the obvius communism references, honestly that was the worst part of the whole show, it felt so cold war with the red fear, and the big bad spy agency with communism type posters and the spies calling each other comrade :)

that's what i've been doing, but sports really throws that off.

i caught the whole comrade stuff in the saving orion episode, but i thought the posters we're sort of a retro art choice, since it seems to be the trendy thing. but dismissed the whole communism angle thinking it was just sort of a writers' joke/reference, because i've always regarded chuck as sort of a modern homage to cold war era spy spoofs like get smart. if fulcrum were just communists, that would be totally anticlimactic.

Amazing episode! I really want a new season but... the show feels like it's finished. The ending just completed it. If it did come back, I hope to god it doesn't suck.

If it's done so well this far, how could it just start sucking? This is Chuck we're talking about!

So you think that Chuck uploading a news intersect into his head, and the episode ending with "To Be Continued..." wraps the show up? :p

If you, the Zap2it readers, were in charge of network scheduling for next season, then all the talk about "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Chuck" being on the bubble for renewal would disappear.

The two series have emerged as the overwhelming favorites in our Keep 'em or Kill 'em polls of 27 series that we think could go either way when the networks announce their 2009-10 schedules over the next few weeks. The voters say they want a dozen shows on our list back next season. At the other end of the spectrum, people don't seem to care if "In the Motherhood," "The Game" or "Worst Week" ever grace their TV screens again.

"Terminator" fans mobilized heavily to vote in their show's poll. As of 2 p.m. ET Thursday, the show had racked up 26,553 votes -- more than twice as many as any other show on the list -- and 86 percent of them (22,711) say FOX should keep the modestly rated show (5.3 million viewers this season) on the air.

The other big winner in the poll was "Chuck," which ended its second season on NBC Monday. It's getting 80 percent support from the more than 11,000 people who have voted so far.

Other shows enjoying heavy support include "Castle" (69 percent yes), "Dollhouse" (64 percent), "Life" (62 percent) and "Samantha Who?" (60 percent).

ABC's "In the Motherhood" and The CW's "The Game," on the other hand, are getting next to no love. Close to 90 percent of the people voting on those two shows have said to kill them. The results aren't much better for CBS' "Worst Week," which is only getting 16 percent support.

Here's the full rundown of voting so far. All totals are as of 2 p.m. ET Thursday.

"Better Off Ted" - Keep it: 57%, Kill it: 43% (9,979 votes)

"Castle" - Keep it: 69%, Kill it: 31% (10,127 votes)

"In the Motherhood" - Keep it: 11%, Kill it: 89% (7,843 votes)

"Samantha Who?" - Keep it: 60%, Kill it: 40% (8,963 votes)

"Surviving Suburbia" - Keep it: 18%, Kill it: 82% (7,615 votes)

"The Unusuals" - Keep it: 58%, Kill it: 42% (8,723 votes)

CBS

"Cold Case" - Keep it: 52%, Kill it: 48% (8,889 votes)

"Eleventh Hour" - Keep it: 43%, Kill it: 57% (8,330 votes)

"Gary Unmarried" - Keep it: 34%, Kill it: 66% (7,940 votes)

"Harper's Island" - Keep it: 44%, Kill it: 56% (8,176 votes)

"The New Adventures of Old Christine" - Keep it: 49%, Kill it: 51% (8,468 votes)

"The Unit" - Keep it: 51%, Kill it: 49% (8,392 votes)

"Without a Trace" - Keep it: 48%, Kill it: 52% (8,490 votes)

"Worst Week" - Keep it: 16%, Kill it: 84% (7,647 votes)

FOX

"Dollhouse" - Keep it: 64%, Kill it: 36% (10,123 votes)

"Lie to Me" - Keep it: 53%, Kill it: 47% (8,651 votes)

"Sit Down, Shut Up" - Keep it: 19%, Kill it: 81% (6,906 votes)

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" - Keep it: 86%, Kill it: 14% (26,553 votes)

"Chuck" - Keep it: 80%, Kill it: 20% (11,495 votes)

"Life" - Keep it: 62%, Kill it: 38% (9,116 votes)

"Medium" - Keep it: 48%, Kill it: 52% (8,884 votes)

"My Name Is Earl" - Keep it: 43%, Kill it: 57% (8,793 votes)

"Parks and Recreation" - Keep it: 37%, Kill it: 63% (8,351)

The CW

"Everybody Hates Chris" - Keep it: 25%, Kill it: 75% (7,152 votes)

"The Game" - Keep it: 11%, Kill it: 89% (6,352 votes)

"Privileged" - Keep it: 35%, Kill it: 65% (7,429 votes)

"Reaper" - Keep it: 55%, Kill it: 45% (8,526 votes)

poor old CW, no one seems to like any show they do, besides Reaper of course. We just got the CW here on Digital, getting ready for the June conversion I guess.

BTW does Smallville still come on the CW?

Smallville is CW's biggest show gets around 3.1m viewers a week, sometimes around finale time 4m...to answer the question yes it does :p

UNIT getting such high kill it marks? Seriously!? That show is fantastic.

Castle is a solid show. I like Nathan so it's entertaining. I'm glad the marks are high.

yeah my wife has been watching Castle.. Seems to be pretty good.

But my question is, do these numbers really mean anything? I mean will the studio's actually pay attention to these at all?

These sort of polls....probably not they don't mean anything most of the people voting for them would be the people who watch the shows online and not count towards the ratings, it really depends on how big the fanbase is and for Chucks its huge.

might sound a bit noobish but what exactly is Chuck about
When a twenty-something computer geek inadvertently downloads critical government secrets into his brain, his former college friend turned CIA recruits him as a secret agent, all while keeping him out of evil hands.
