NBC gives full seasons to Life and Chuck
Geeks and fruit lovers rejoice, NBC just announced that it is ordering an extra nine episodes of two of its new series: Chuck and Life. What that means is that both series will have a complete first season of 22 episodes each!About 8 million viewers tune in weekly to watch geek-turned-secret-agent Chuck Bartowski solve crimes with his two handlers and to witness Detective Crews solve cases after sering time in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
"Both shows are hitting their stride creatively, have developed loyal audiences and offer unlimited potential to grow throughout the season," said Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, when he made the announcement today. Being a fan of Chuck and having enjoyed a few episodes of Life, I can't help but jump up and down by this news. Of course, some NBC viewers will not join me in the celebration since NBC didn't announce that Bionic Woman was also getting a complete season...
Chuck airs on Mondays and Life airs on Wednesdays on NBC.
