Today's Top Five: Things "Chuck" is Better Than

Great SEASON finale last night. No spoilers here, but just wanted to share some thoughts on exactly where "Chuck" ranks in my pantheon of awesome. "Chuck" is better than all these things.

5. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - Chocolate, peanut butter. Two great tastes that taste BETTER together, and yet the creamy choco goodness can't begin to compare with Mr. Bartowski and his cohorts.

4. The NFL Draft - There was a time when draft day was like a little manly holiday in the barren wasteland known as "the offseason". Finding out the pieces that your team is adding to help get you over the hump (or reload if you're a fan of one of those "good teams") is incredibly exciting. But Draft day is nothing next to a day in the Buy More.

3. Icee - That sweet nectar of the gods that is the perfect combination of sweet and slushy (not to be confused with "slushie" which is a pale "Icee" imitator) is a beautiful thing. One of the highlights of living in the south (do they have these in the north?) but as much as I love a Coca-Cola Icee, I'd rather have a new episode of "Chuck". Sure, it may not keep me alive if I was dying of thirst in the desert (I'm not sure the Icee would either, to tell you the truth) but I'd die with a smile on my face. Can your favorite TV show do that?

2. Lazy Rivers - The Lazy River may be the single greatest human invention of all time. For those not familiar: it's a long and winding pool with a slight current, on which you float with inter-tubes, generally sipping a drink with an umbrella. I don't know about you, but this was my own personal image of heaven...until I saw this season's finale of "Chuck". Sorry, Lazy River. We'll always have Jamaica!

1. The Bandit's Trans Am - Mind you, I'm not saying that "Chuck" is better than the Bandit himself. Nothing is that cool. But, Special Agent Charles Carmichael and his crack team of Government sponsored bad a**** is cooler than the car by itself. And, since when I saw a Bandit Trans Am the other day I actually stopped to inquire about the price and whether he'd wanna trade straight up for my Camry, you should know that I love this car. Just not as much as I love "Chuck".

Save "Chuck" NBC!!!

Zachary Levi (Charles Bartowski) took about 600 "Chuck" fans to lunch at Subway today. 600 x $5 is how much? That guys a real hero.

Today's Top Five: Things You Can Do Today to Save "Chuck"

***Updated***

Tonight is the season finale of NBC's spy dramedy "Chuck". It COULD be the SERIES finale. But we're not gonna let that happen. Here's what you can do TODAY to help.


5. Watch and episode (or twelve) of "Chuck" today on Hulu.com or NBC.com - This is the best way that you can show NBC that YOU are watching this show. There's no question about it, you're not a half a percentage point in a Nielson report, you are a person watching their show (with ads) online. Leave them on in the background all day if you can.

4. Pre-order Season 2 from Amazon.com - The show has been outstanding this season, building from episode to episode better than anything else on TV. Let's show NBC (and Warner Bros., the studio that produces "Chuck") that we appreciate quality television by pre-purchasing the Complete Season Set.

3. Watch the season (not series) finale tonight. - Some of you are Nielson families. Some of you have Tivo's (that collect data about programs watched), but even if you don't, do your best to watch the finale tonight. Let's ensure that the ratings are sky-high.

2. Invite friends. - I'm generally completely against watching a show out-of-order, but this is a do or die situation. If you have a friend that you think would be remotely interested in "Chuck" (and who wouldn't be?) get them to come over and watch it with you tonight. Sure, some of the relationships and jokes might not make as much sense to them, but you'll have just created another happy consumer for the DVD's and another angry mob member if the show does get canceled by NBC. We're trying to build an army here, people, we need all the help we can get.

1. Eat at Subway today. - Silly? Perhaps, but Subway has been a big advertiser on "Chuck" having their $5 footlong's built into a couple of storylines. Belly up to your local sandwich bar today, order one of those $5 footlongs and fill out a comment card saying you ate at Subway because of "Chuck" on NBC. If our outrage over the possible loss of this show won't make NBC change their mind, a major sponsor's report that they want to up their advertising budget for a certain spy dramedy will.

Good luck and Godspeed.

***Updated*** This message has already been viewed almost 130 times in just a couple of hours. If everyone spreads the message, we can get this rolling and keep a show we all love. In case your Subway doesn't have comment cards (or if you forgot to fill one out) just follow this link to leave the comment directly at Subway.com ***Updated*** also, sign a petition to bring "Chuck" a third season at this link.
