Chuck has a character (Casey, the tough NSA guy played by Adam Baldwin, formerly of Firefly) that has a picture of Ronald Reagan that’s featured prominently in several episodes. In the latest episode, his boss (a woman who is not necessarily a good guy) picks it up, tells him that the 80s are over, and he just sort of sneers at her suggestion. As for putting Heroes up against 24 (and for putting Chuck up against The Big Bang Theory), are television programmers trying to kill off their networks by placing shows that appeal to the same demographic up against each other? When they do that, they split the audience and often kill one or both shows in the process. Stupid.

Chuck is a riot. Discovered it after season two started. So we used Netflix to get season one. Hilarious. The characters work so well together, and Zachary Levi (Chuck) has perfect comedic timing (the whole cast does pretty darn well, actually). I love Baldwin’s character.

They have done this for years. I never could understand why they do this. It has killed many good shows in the process over the years. Hopefully one day they will smarten up. But doubtful since it usually involves rival networks. Luckily I only like 24 out of the four you mentioned, but I understand it would be disappointing if you are fans of the other three shows.
