NBC has clearly taken to heart the name of Chuck’s place of employment, Buy More: The network just ordered nine additional episodes of the freshman drama starring Zachary Levi as a most unlikely secret agent man. The Peacock gave the same love to another new hourlong series, Life, meaning that when this strike business is finally resolved, both Chuck and Life will run for a full season. Meanwhile, NBC’s two other first-year dramas — Bionic Woman and Journeyman — can only press their noses against the renewal glass and pray for an early Christmas present.

That’s great, but can you explain why NBC’s so fixated on showing DEADLY CAR CRASHES with no warning as commercials for their shows? I was in a car accident a few months ago and the promos for NBC shows are giving me nightmares! I am never watching Bionic Woman and now I’m never watching any Law and Order again. Good riddance.
don’t know what else you are going to watch then, most television shows have a crash or two.
Ilana, I’m sure an NBC exec is reading your post right now and working on eliminating all car crashes, actually all scenes of violence from their network.
Go watch Nickolodeon if you can’t handle it.
Yeah!!! I love Chuck, one of the very few NBC shows I watch every week.
YAY! I just got addicted to Chuck and LOVE IT! Great news!
Illana, if you Tivoed last night’s Chuck, don’t watch it, because there’s a car crash.
Yey…. I look forward to Monday nights as Chuck rocks
Love the show Life. Thank you NBC.
I Love Chuck!
I too am weary of the out-of-the-blue car crashes, but not because of the violence. It’s just that NBC is TOTALLY over-using the device (Chuck, L&O, Bionic Woman, and some others). It’s like a new “toy” their CGI people discovered/bought, and now they’re really trying to get their money’s worth. They are just WAY over-using it as a plot device/effect.
Life is a pretty OK show, and interesting enough…but I really only watch for the chance to see Sarah Shahi. So very pretty! And listening to her speak some Farsi (a few weeks ago) was so hot!
I think LIFE is a great show.
I love the show Chuck and Life and I am glad to see you are doing something other than all reality show, which I can’t stand.
chuck! chuck! chuck!
