When a show’s executive producer takes to his Twitter account to implore fans to watch (“New Chuck Monday. Building up to the finale. Will be blunt: get ppl to watch tmrrw!”) it’s never a good sign. But just how dire are things for CHUCK — a show no stranger to the bubble — with NBC’s May UpFront just around the corner? Nawfal Faizullah, special correspondent to theTVaddict.com, makes the case.

It’s really turning out to be a bad few weeks for Sony’s Playstation 3. Last week they fell victim to a massive attack from hackers who have stolen the personal information and (possibly) credit card information of their nearly 77 million users, but they’ve had to shut down the Playstation Network entirely while they investigate and rebuild the system with better security in mind. On April 29th, Hulu Plus streaming, a long time game console exclusive for PS3 owners, became available to owners of the XBOX 360. The timing is coincidental, but it really does seem like poor Sony’s getting repeatedly kicked in the crotch while when they’re already down.
