non BSG TV squee!

[artemis_90]

In many ways Chuck is the anti-BSG: non-stop belly laughs versus counter the ulcer-causing churning over Colonial angst. But it does have a lot in common with BSG: quality show, excellent writers, amazing cast and supporting cast, and even the same jerk network execs (vis-a-vis the WGA and iTunes pull-out

I love that show. :D If I drank I'd totally do it.

I can't wait for the last two episodes ... and when the strike is over there had better be more!

[artemis_90]

Well, NBC has ordered a full season even before the strike. But if the Strike drags, then we may end up just starting a brand new season come next September. *SIGHS*

Is it true that Canada'll get it earlier on Tuesday rather than US telecast advertised on Thursday?

[stardust_20]

I'd heard about the full season but I think that there's a cutoff date whereby if the strike doesn't end the rest of the season will just be scrapped and they'll try to start for September or October. Even then it's pushing it - I think the actors need their scripts by about May in order to get the stuff filmed to AIR in September.

As for Canada getting Chuck earlier, I haven't heard a thing about it. Mind you I don't have cable. We buy all our tv shows from iTunes in the USA (yes it's illegal but we have a business acquaintance that allows us to use his account) so we only get it once it's loaded there, and that happens after it airs in the USA.

Cute icon. I didn't get it the first time I saw it. :) Love the weinerlicious getup.

I always buy the prepaid iTunes cards when I'm at the States and set my iTunes as if it was in the States ... all legal, even if the the laptop settings are outside the States! Unfortunately, all NBC shows were pulled out of iTunes. Ergo I can't BUY BSG, Chuck, or Project Runway.... grrrrrr!!!!!!! (I should be able to acquire the episodes by Friday evening my time zone so its a perfect way to start the weekend!)

I love Chuck too! And I totally heart that icon. :D

Chuck and BSG - definitly an interesting juxtaposition with the trauma on one side and hilarity on the other.

[artemis_90]

I know, but the two shows also share some writing staff (Anne Coffel Saunders) so I'm still waiting for the BSG cross-reference to appear. (They've already done Star Wars, Tron, Dune, Lord of the Rings).

[cujoy]

Yes of course! There absolutely has to be a BSG reference eventually.
