'Chuck': Buy More-style clothes worn for new campaign to save show
The new Save "Chuck" campaign won't require fans to Eat Fresh.Instead, fans will dress up in Buy More-style attire to participate in flash mobs Monday (May 3) in at least four cities, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Most likely the Buy More-inspired clothes will be short-sleeved work shirts with name tags and a tie -- an ensemble much like what Chuck (Zachary Levi) wears as part of the Nerd Herd.
We wouldn't be surprised, however, if other Buy More levels of employment were represented, such as the green polo of the person who works the floor or the grey vest of management (flair not included).
Fans will gather in Chicago, Seattle, San Diego and Philadelphia.
The campaign is the latest from chucktv.net, which had led the charge with the "Finale and a Footlong" campaign in 2009 that urged fans to eat at Subway to show support for "Chuck."

I'm tired of having to save Chuck every year. It's a great show and shouldn't have to go through this each season. Besides, the producers said a while back Chuck was in no danger this year due to NBC having to staighten out the 10pm slot after the Leno issue. They can't go canceling shows like Chuck with the problem of filling 10pm five nights a week.
Just cancel it. It's had more than enough time to gain an audience. It's dunzo.
On the one hand, I'm with Michael630: it shouldn't even be a possibility that Chuck would be canceled, especially this year. It's not like NBC has that many established non-reality/CSI shows to draw on.
On the other hand, who knows how an NBC governed by ever-growing desperation will respond to anything. Additionally, it's important that fan continue to show loyalty even when the show isn't in danger.
I believe CHUCK will be renewed! NBC just wants the free publicity, why not let people worry and bring attention to their show. Just saying.
Agreed. I think it will be renewed again, it has good enough ratings, people like it with lots of support for the show. NBC doesn't have that many good shows anyway.
Now that they're changing the show up a little maybe it will get better. With Morgan knowing and Chuck being a competent spy. Two seasons of the same show every week was getting old.
Come on NBC. This is the best show you have on air and you know it. Stop this making the fans beg and renew it already.
I went on the WB tour in LA and all the Chuck merchandise was sold out. Chuck has the same dedicated audience it had despite the cutbacks. So save the show!!!
