Sorry, NBC, but this is NOT a "Chuck Sandwich"

[spikesleman]

I've been hearing NBC's promos for the Thursday night line-up and I'm seriously irritated.

"It's a Chuck sandwich! An all-new episode of Chuck followed by an all-new Celebrity Apprentice followed by another episode of Chuck!"

The analogy falls completely apart. The episodes of Chuck are the bread in the sandwich and the filling is Celebrity

You would know! What is a 'thunderbolt'?

It doesn't make sense; a lightning bolt strikes and then there is thunder but what is a thunderbolt?

I love your word whims! They are fun to think about...

As for the programming, I have to agree with you. Network TV is v. sucky.

A thunderbolt is a lightning flash with a simultaneous clap of thunder. It's not actually used to mean that all the time, of course, but that's the meaning. (I checked with my handy-dandy Oxford Enlish Dictionary to be sure.)
