PLEASE PASS ON TO THE CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER!!!

Subway has done well with product placement and its sponsorship of the current NBC series Chuck. There is a good size, devoted fan base who have shown their loyalty to the Subway brand for its’ dedication to this show with increased purchases and a “Save Chuck” campaign that involved the
purchase of Subway product, kicked off by series star Zachari Levy himself.

If NBC isn’t smart enough to keep this series, I believe it would be a wise investment for Subway to order at least a partial 3rd season of full episodes to be made available, complete with exclusive Subway commercials and promotions, on your website at: http://www.subway.com/chuck

This is a unique opportunity for Subway to make their website a “must see” content portal for its’ core demographic, and the Good Will that this would engender simply cannot be purchased through normal advertising mediums.

As well, the cover place where the character Sarah works, the frozen yogurt shop, could easily be changed to a Subway store instead, as it changed between Season 1 and 2 from a Weiner Hut.

Last, the devoted fan base would respond positively to a partnership between Subway and the principal Actors in the series (Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin) to promote Chuck Season 3 and Subway on the Subway website.

Thank you for your time.

PLEASE WRITE ONE YOURSELF, IF YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA!!!
Please remember to be respectful and positive.

1) Quality writing. I feel like Chuck must have the most talented writer’s room in LA. Line by line, there is wit, humor, and honesty in scenes as diverse as familial disputes to better-than-average heat-of-the-moment action-sequence one-liners. Every line is well-fit for not only the character but the actor. And, big picture, here is a show that actually feels like it knows where it’s been and where it is going. It isn’t playing episode to episode. This is one of the many reasons not having a Season 3 would be a disappointment: the final scene of the Season 2 finale is one of the best between-season forwards ever. Heroes, a show I have derided on this blog before, could take a lot of pointers from Chuck. For all its glitz and glam, Heroes has no idea what’s its doing. Does it? I mean every season starts completely over. Half the “heroes” have different powers from when they started, presumably because the writers didn’t know what to do with a character who could go back in time to unmurder people or a protagonist who could become the most powerful mutant just by empathizing with other people with powers. Heroes has no discipline. Yet it has a franchise. Of course you can’t drop Heroes for Chuck.

2) Actual morality. The reason why many people are suggesting that Chuck is a family-friendly show is that it’s trying to project a sense (or many senses) of morality. Again, this is the opposite of Heroes, which is built around the subversion of the right-and-wrong dichotomy. That’s fine for Heroes. I respect it. But it is refreshing in this postmodern world to have a protagonist who embodies a clear, uncomplicated, modern-day, non-denominational, human decency towards friends, family, and love interests. This is fleshed out even fuller with other equally valid codes of behavior: Morgan as the almost obsessively loyal friend; Casey as the patriot; Ellie as the loving, nagging older sibling; Devon as the live-life-to-the-fullest but-don’t-be-a-douche about it friend/brother; and so forth.

3) New relationships. As a devoted older brother, I adore that the central family structure of this show is a brother and a sister, opening up some dynamics that, to my knowledge, have not been explored in a humorous honest way on television. Add Awesome to this mix, and you have a perfect example of the functional unconventional American household.

I know there are other more popular reasons to support the show, and I’m sure you know they all. Hopefully this added to the conversation. It’s a damn good show, well-thought out, well-written, super well-cast, and an f-ing fun ride. It gives me joy.

SAVE CHUCK!!!!

And of course I want Chuck back. It defies all genres.

NBC would be wrong if they dont save Chuck!

-Thank you for giving me the chance to comment, I hope that the show would be saved

Enjoy and keep watching CHUCK!

thanks again for spreading the word

I just wanted to point out that over at Chucktv.net (the biggest unofficial Chuck fan site) they have a campaign going on to get Chuck renewed. Here’s the link:

http://chucktv.net/about-2/chuck-campaign-watchbuyshare/

It would be cool if you would provide a link somewhere on the webpage so people can see the renewal effort. It’s truly a growing effort, as various websites including TheWB.com have supported the cause.
