The fucknuggets canceled _The Chicago Code_. Fucknuggets! I also liked _Human Target_, but not so much Mrs Whatshername, especially her getting in the way and hating on their methods. I kinda liked “New Girl”, but she didn’t stick around. She ended up with a better gig on _No Ordinary Family_, so good for her. ---

I really liked the first season of _Human Target_, but after the changes of the second season, it became a show I watched mostly because of inertia (and, perhaps, a vague hope that it would somehow flush out all of the nonsense and get back to how it had been). _Angel_ did the transition of taking a team of scrappy underdogs to the penthouse pretty well, but it just didn’t work out here. But it’s hard to get too irritated with the network. It asked for stupid changes, but at least it didn’t go all _Firefly_ on the show. ---

> [@CyclopticXander](#): > > So I ask you fans in retrospect, on a scale of Ghandi to Jack Bauer, exactly how much ass would you say Christopher Chance kicked? During season 1 - he would have been a match for Jack Bauer. During season 2, _Kim_ Bauer could have beaten him without breaking a sweat. I liked the first season, I suffered through the second season, hoping it would resume the promise of the first (it didn’t). And most importantly, people didn’t watch the show. Fox gave it a chance, television viewers didn’t. I’m not surprised it isn’t back for a third. ---

> [@CyclopticXander](#): > > This is the saddest I’ve ever been for the cancellation of a show I’ve never seen. My name is Christopher Chance and I took some sort of weird pride in knowing my name was being represented on TV in such a kickass way. Total bummer. There’s also an obscure comic book character called Christopher Chance, the Human Target, but he’s completely different from the Mark Valley character. ---

Chuck Norris once whispered the name “Guerrero”…and locked himself into his saferoom for three days. ---

Just watched this week’s episode of _The Chicago Code_. Best episode yet! This show needs to survive. ---

> [@Raygun99](#): > > Err… End of first season, there was an episode where they broke into some security company, and at the end a cute brunette computer specialist who worked there quit. An episode or so later, she was trying out working for them, and Guerrero called her “New Girl”. It didn’t stick, but the _actress_ is now on _No Ordinary Family_ playing an equally geeky assistant/side-kick. As opposed to the thief girl that showed up this season. ---
