Chuck Vs The Footlong

The season finales of both Chuck and Heroes will air tonight on NBC. While both shows would definitely benefit from a boost in ratings, Chuck is in a more dire situation. Chuck has not been renewed for a third season. With the ratings it’s been getting recently, the outlook for a renewal appears slim. I didn’t watch Chuck until recently, and I wish I had started from the beginning. It’s easy to get into, the characters are well developed and interesting (one is even given the nickname Captain Awesome!), it’s funny, and it’s just good television.  Also, it is very geek friendly.  Everything from the Brian K Vaughan comics,  Tron, and recently a Steve Jobs inspired villain played by Chevy Chase.

In order to save their beloved show, fans of Chuck have been writing letters and signing petitions at the very least to get a third and final season.  One of the more interesting campaigns is “Chuck Vs The Footlong“. While the standard letter writing is asked of by the fans, there are a couple of other steps:

5. On April 27th be sure to BUY A $5 FOOTLONG from Subway and if possible, drop a note in the comment box at the franchise letting them know you’re participating in the Finale and Footlong campaign to save NBC’s Chuck, of which Subway is a product placement sponsor.

6. Watch the finale LIVE if possible.

If you do nothing else…do the last two items on the list.
