Note to Chuck Producers -- You Got the Whole Year, Use It Well!
The rare good TV news that comes out of the tower on the Universal lot up there in what you might as well call South North Hollywood (despite the tourist trade and the only Dalt's Restaurant in Southern California (great fried things with cheese).
C'mon, with "failing upwards king" Zucker and "I never met a product placement that didn't get me erect" Silverman in that building, you can't expect much, but today someone came through, probably Teri Weinberg, who's quoted below.

"Chuck's" full-season order comes more than a month before the show's Sept. 29 premiere date. Exec producer Josh Schwartz called the pickup "unexpected."
"It's an incredible show of faith by NBC and so amazingly nice to get based on the work alone," Schwartz said. Peacock execs said they were pleased with the first six episodes in "Chuck's" second season and wanted to keep the momentum going.
"This show has really hit its stride and deserves a full-season commitment to carry out the producers' vision for this unique series," said Teri Weinberg, exec veep of NBC Entertainment.
Maybe Josh is spending more time here in California these days rather than on the set of his other show, the one with the hot, hot, hot young adults playing tony teens in NYC.
Now that you know you have the season, some big idea arcs would be nice to counterbalance the weekly yucks. This way, you can retain that lightness each week and drop in the drama in service to the big arc of the season.
It makes for more tasty viewing. And this cast deserves it. They're very good together. and I love Yvonne Strahovski, I just can't resist a hot, kick-ass blonde who looks great in lingerie.
I know, it even works on me.
