  1. Season 1 of Chuck is out June 3 and is listed at Ezydvd. At least those without pay can watch or if you forget. Big Bang Theory season 1 is also out the same day and Pushing Daisies out next month.

    At least the show is getting aired in Australia finally.

  2. I don’t think saying Chuck is a poor performer in the ratings is entirely correct.

    It’s not the most popular show of all time, although performs well, and at the end of season one (when nine would have made the decision?) it was performing very well with a rapidly increasing audience.

    I’m basing this off of tvbythenumbers.com

  3. I agree 9 never even gave this show a shot but if they have over summer they would have shown it for a month before disappearing from our screens. This is one of my top must see shows and it’s great Fox8 is now giving it a go and will show the season in full!

  4. One of my favourite shows around these days.

    It was odd the way it was dumped, but then the networks just want reality gardening shows, not to cater to the valuable demographics.

    Now allt hey need is to start showing Reaper!

  5. Nine dumped it because the show rates fairly poorly for NBC in the US and there’s been talk it may get cancelled. Nevertheless, since it has an Aus actor in the cast, Nine could’ve at least given Chuck a go over the summer recess and moved it to a 10.30 pm timeslot (like Gossip Girl) if it didn’t perform that great, ratings wise.

  6. A fantastic show. Everyone I know who has been introduced to it loves it. I couldn’t believe 9 never ended up airing it. Here’s hoping it does really well on Foxtel and 9 realise what a mistake they made.

  7. i walked onto the set of Chuck last year…and waited and waited in excitement for the show to start on 9…then 9 went and dumped it… now it starts on Foxtel/Austar and i don’t have pay…….Nooooo
