Airing on one of television’s most competitive nights, Chuck is in danger of not seeing a third season on NBC. If the show doesn’t get picked up, could it be President Barack Obama’s fault?
Obama’s been doing a lot of television addresses since he was elected, and that means he’s been pre-empting a lot of television. Asked about Obama’s effect on prime-time television, NBC president Ben Silverman had this to say:
“I think it hurt “Chuck” — we had the huge 3-D episode, its highest rating in the year, then it was pre-empted the next Monday with no notice.”
That’s not change we can believe in, President Obama. In the future, please preempt crappier shows.
