Just like Bryce Larkin, you can't keep a good spy dead for long.I am currently jumping up and down with abandon and glee (much like a pigtailed six-year-old girl) at the news that NBC has granted freshman series Chuck a full season order.
Yes, you read that correctly: spy dramedy Chuck, from creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak, has received the ever-elusive back nine order, despite the current writers strike, though the Peacock was quick to preface that statement by offering the alternative language of "the balance of the 2007-08 season."
The announcement of Chuck's full season order--and that of fellow freshman series Life--was made by Ben Silverman.
"Chuck and Life stand out in a crowded TV landscape because they are smart, well-produced series with incredibly talented casts," said Silverman in a press release. "Both shows are hitting their stride creatively, have developed loyal audiences and offer unlimited potential to grow throughout the season."
According to NBC's release: "Chuck is averaging a 3.4 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and 8.4 million viewers overall this season. Chuck has been delivering competitive results in the Monday 8-9 p.m. (ET) slot and has increased its adult 18-49 rating from half-hour to half-hour with each of its nine Monday telecasts to date. Chuck's average 3.1 rating in adults 18-49 for the November sweep has kept NBC on pace with its rating in the time period during last May's sweep with Deal or No Deal."
I cannot tell you how completely happy this news makes me, especially what with a brand-spanking-new episode of Chuck on tonight at 8 pm ET/PT.
