After all those Subway five-dollar footlongs and tireless online campaigns from
Chuck fans, the NBC show was saved with a 13-episode pickup. Stars Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski sent TV Guide Magazine a special thank you message to fans to share their gratitude:
"To sit back and observe the way in which
Chuck was renewed was simply remarkable. I am so blessed to be a part of producing something that, when it appears to be at risk of disappearing, those loyal to it join in solidarity and literally speak, march, work, buy, share and will it back into existence. To know that such a huge part of our saving grace was comprised of the media and circle of critics, allows me to appreciate it even further. I'm proud of our crew, and I'm proud of what we're a part of bringing to all of you. But most importantly, I'm proud of you, those that fought. Because not only did you resist the apathy that befalls anyone faced by such adversity, you did so by believing your words and actions mean something. That you mean something. And I hope you know that, to us, you always do. Love & Blessings. -Zac (Viva la Nerdalution)"
"Yay,
Chuck! I am absolutely amazed at how much support we have received from our fans and without it, we may not have been around for a third season. A big three cheers to all the people who saved
Chuck! - Yvonne"
