Yesterday, Chuck fans everywhere (including devoted TWoP posters) banded together to participate in one of the grand traditions of TV fandom: the grassroots Save Our Show campaign. How? Since Subway is Chuck's biggest sponsor, fans hope that by purchasing a $5 footlong sandwich at Subway and dropping a note in the comment box imploring NBC not to cancel their beloved dramedy, they can sway network execs who are currently deciding the fate of the on-the-bubble series. But plenty of past about-to-be-cancelled shows have spawned even more creative campaigns by desperate fans -- read on to relive some of the successes, and more of the failures. (Hint: Food-based protests don't always work...)

This weekend we mourned the passing of Bea Arthur, one of the greatest comediennes ever to grace the small screen. She began her acting career as a stage actress, but became a household name in 1972 with the debut of her sitcom Maude on CBS. Her iconic roles as the outspoken liberal feminist Maude Findlay and the equally caustic Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls will be forever beloved, not only because of Arthur's flawless comic timing but also because both women were ahead of their time -- and in some ways, ahead of our time too.
