'Chuck' Exclusive: I spy a full-season pickup!

Tags: , , News, Scoop

Although a Peacock rep declined to comment, insiders tell me the network and Warner Bros. Television are ironing out the final details of the back-nine order as we speak.

Earlier this month, Chuck cocreator Josh Schwartz expressed cautious optimism about his little-show-that-could surviving past its initial order of 13 episodes. “NBC is really happy with it creatively,” he said. “This is Chuck. We never say die.”

Currently in its fourth season, Chuck has become a steady performer for NBC on Mondays at 8 pm. And in this climate, steady is the new up!

Let the celebration begin in the comments section! BTW, Chuck is all new tonight!

    Here we go again. The show is so boring now. It needs to be put out of its misery.

    Supernatural is so much better then Chuck, Supernatural deserves to be on NBC, not Chuck the bad show!

    • Melanie

      GO AWAY!

      • vic

        Melanie said it best-GO AWAY “great” you are NOT

    • cassopeia

      I love Supernatural but the show is doing alright on the CW. If you don’t like Chuck, don’t watch it. Supernatural and Chuck don’t even air on the same NIGHT!! So what’s your point?

    • CF

      Troll, get back under your bridge

    • poppy

      Seriously, go moan somewhere else.

    • brandy

      CHUCK ME!

      • sonja

        Heh, heh!!!

      • LOL

        Brandy FTW!

    • Ruby

      If Supernatural was on NBC it’d be a completely neutered version. They censor the word “dick” on that channel. So no, they don’t need to be on NBC. HBO maybe, but definitely not NBC. Not sure why you drew a comparison between Chuck and SPN, though. They have nothing to do with each other.

      • Judy

        Supernatural on HBO…I can only imagine. It would have been better, sweatier, and sexier than True Blood…BEST thing i’ve read today. Thoughts of Sam and Dean =)

      • B-

        Giving the original poster credit, maybe he compared the two because they are both produced by WB Television?

      • Alia

        SPN on HBO would be justification for paying for premium cable (or at least weekly iTunes downloads)!

      • kaloalo

        i gave up on supernatural 3 seasons ago – has it gotten way better? =|

      • Tom

        has it gotten better? omg, the last 2 seasons were so awesome! Castiel turned it all around for me

      • Kara

        Kaloalo – last season was pretty fantastic.

      • Jeff

        NBC would of screwed Supernatural over.

      • cassopeia

        OMG Supernatural on HBO? I would die of happiness. :D

    • Chuckology

      great – go find your self a hole in the ground and keep doing in it what you are doing here. Or just rollover and… you know what.

    • Alia

      Supernatural and Chuck are my two favorite shows. And I have to agree with Ruby that an NBC version of SPN would be really sad. It works where it is. And Chuck is awesome, so either give it a chance or give it a break.

      • graciie

        totally. supernatural is awesome on the cw, i like it where it is. chuck is fine one nbc as well… i refrain from saying awesome because they seem to do this every year “lets get 13 eps and see how it does… oh pretty good, full season it is then” why don’t they just realise chuck is bloody brilliant and give full seasons already? maybe they like the fan rallying.

    • Large Marge

      Hey, don’t be dragging the awesomeness of Supernatural into your nonsense!

    • Andrea

      Why are you comparing SPN with CHUCK? They are my two favorite tv shows! =D And CHUCK is never boring! Viva La Chuck!

      • mary ellen

        Both shows are fantastic. Just wish they hadn’t moved Supernatural to Friday Nights, which are far too busy for me already

    • reed

      hwy great shut the **** up. CHUCK by far is a great show to watch on tv……..

    • kshep

      shut up

    • Chad

      Go Chuck yourself.

    • nichole

      supernatural is so boring now. its always the same with Dean crying at the end of each episode. The new writer stinkkss.

      • Andrew

        dude you stink..sorry you can’t appreciate good television, it’s kind of said you have the tv watching capacity of a 5 year old to understand character development

    • Charley

      if by boring you mean awesome, then yes i agree the show is boring/freakin awesome!

    • Dennis

      No knock against Supernatural – good show – but I must have my Yvonne Strahovski fix every Monday night – good entry into the bad ass hottie contest with Cote de Pablo.

    • mary althene

      get the hell outta here!!

    • Em B

      Seriously, Why would you comment if you don’t like the show!! WTF.

    • sheila lowe

      Poor you, all of the mentally challenged who are not capable of grasping the wit and the brilliant freshness of “Chuck”. Grow up, I mean mentally.

      • sheila lowe

        Chuck is THE BEST TV SHOW running these days, we are steady, we are stable, and we gonna get the 5′th season!!!

    • John

      I hope they cancel Supernatural, not because I’ve ever watched the show or have an opinion about it, and whether it’s on the air or not has no impact on my life, but because the show apparently attracts idiot fans who want to see shows that other people enjoy get canceled, so I’m only returning the favor.

      • Zakry

        childish.

      • cassopeia

        Every show attracts idiots.

    • Chuck fan

      …go away…Why are you even here?

    • Ramone

      Agreed, you should shut up. Chuck is a GREAT show–one of the few that remains entertaining after 4 seasons.

    • theintersect
