I thought BBT was a repeat... didnt know till this article that it was time changed... i watched chuck live and loved it... to be fair, the weather is getting nice on this side of the country and i doubt i'll be watching as much TV

House has been horrible ever since the DEA took over as showrunner this season. Regardless of whether you believe me or not, the show has been horrible ever since Dr. House's pain and pill usage has ceased to be part of the show. I stopped watching House a few months ago, but from what I hear the show has only gotten worse.

I hear House actually takes advil now. Wow. And all the witty banter is apparently gone (it was gone by the time I stopped watching). One of my friends told me the last few episodes were some of the worst TV he's ever seen.

House was my favorite TV show for several years, and Gregory House was my favorite TV character for several years. It's such a shame that the show and the character are ruined - more casualties in America's asinine "war on drugs."

If you are one of the brainwashed masses, then I guess you should be happy - the government will say that they saved the lives of many children by getting a cool, popular, witty TV character to stop "abusing" narcotics. If you believe that, then you probably agree that it's worth ruining one good TV show to save the lives of children.

Anyway, i'm not surprised to hear House has gotten its lowest ratings ever. I've watched the ratings begin to fall, lower and lower, ever since they ruined the show. It's no coincidence. Taking the vicodin out of House is like taking the guns out of "24".

If nearly everything was down, why's it being painted as a failure for Chuck in particular?

EbonyDad - don't feel bad, I've got some DVR backlog going on myself.

Seems strange that House also was low. Maybe people are getting into Spring activities, plus the idea that Big Bang had been on reruns for the past couple of weeks. You can tell when the networks are thinking of getting rid of shows. They no longer promote or advise when and where they'll be on the schedule. I DVR, which is probably what a large part of the population does anymore. Are they counting the DVR'd episodes?

I feel guilty. I have 2 Chucks that I need to watch on the DVR (including the one from last night).

I wish they would have let the 13th episode of Chuck be the last of the season. I already have too many shows I am committed to.

Chuck's gotta be the most overrated show of the last decade. It had plenty of chances to find its audience.

I think TV seasons go on too long. I gave up on House weeks ago because I just hate watching too much TV and I think with all the choices of entertainment available, it's time to shorten TV seasons--especially with hour long shows--and put them on uninterrupted during regimented seasons (a la 24 and Lost).

Not good for Chuck. It was implied that last night's episode's ratings were going to seal the deal for Chuck's S4.

Of course, Big Bang fell. It was at a different time and CBS didn't publicize it. If you're doing back to back episodes, why not keep the new episode at it's normally schedule time? Sheesh!
