Chuck Renewed!

For the last 3 weeks, Chuck fans have been left on the edge of their seats over whether NBC would renew the show. The show has a solid loyal following, receives positive critic response, and was thought of highly by NBC executives, but despite all of this, the show had been struggling to snare viewers in its Monday night time slot. The Hollywood Reporter now tells us that Chuck has officially been renewed with a 13-episode order for next fall.

I am overjoyed by this news. Every new episode of Chuck has me liking the show more and more, containing a wonderful blend of action, comedy, romance, geek factor, and likable characters. With Scrubs "ending" (technically it has been renewed, but the show's format will be changing), Chuck was the one show I hoped would be back more than any other. It did well in its first season, and I believe that FOX moving House (another excellent show) to Monday nights in the same time slot really hurt NBC's gem this season. There's no need to worry anymore, but if you haven't seen this show before, please check it out, because it deserves to be on the air for a long while, but it can't afford another close call like it has just had.

Also, it is relevant to note that this means we get to see a lot more of the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski kicking some major booty, and looking great while doing it.
