More Chuck, Less Trauma, and Scrubs On the Way!
Earlier this week I broke down the ins and outs of Fall TV with my scorecard, but there are a few new developments to add. First, we've got another one to add to the R.I.P. list — NBC has pulled the plug on Trauma, and the show will be removed from the lineup after the initial 13 episodes are aired.

TCA Tidbits: NBC Talks Southland, Chuck, Heroes, and More
With Ben Silverman leaving NBC earlier this Summer, reporters were bound to be a little chippy at NBC's executive session today at the TCA press tour. There were plenty of questions about how NBC's entertainment president, Angela Bromstad, would define NBC's brand (apparently it includes Heroes, The Office, and The Apprentice equally?), but we also got some concrete info about shows like Southland and Friday Night Lights. Some details:
- Bromstad said Southland "tried to do too much" in its first six episodes and became too serialized.
Chuck's Vik Sahay Talks Jeffster and Jealousy
One of the rowdiest panels I saw at this year's Comic-Con was the one for Chuck, which included a live performance by Jeffster — aka the show's Vik Sahay and Scott Krinsky. How did it feel to be the singer at the center of all those screaming fans? I recently chatted with Sahay himself to find out.
Chuck and His Friends Rock Out at Comic-Con
The award for rowdiest panel that I saw at Comic-Con went to the cast of Chuck. After teetering on the edge of cancellation, Josh Schwartz and his band of merry geeks/spies couldn't have been jollier about shooting the breeze with fans — and with each other. The panel started with a hilarious performance by Jeffster (watch the video after the jump!), and everyone was on their feet as Vik Sahay and Scott Krinsky took on Queen's "Fat-Bottomed Girls."
TV Wedding Moments: Chuck
As I'm celebrating the renewal of Chuck, it seems only fitting to continue my wedding season coverage with one of the most off-beat TV wedding moments of the year. In Chuck's season two finale, "Chuck vs. The Ring," a major fight scene goes down while Ellie and Devin are supposed to be saying their vows.
Chuck's Back! NBC Orders 13 More Episodes
It's a big day for Chuck fans: As various sources are reporting (and Warner Bros. itself is confirming), NBC's lovable spy show will be back for a third season!
It's the latest in a weekend of crazy bubble show renewals that also include Dollhouse, Castle, and Scrubs, among others.
Chuck Rundown: Episode 22, "Chuck vs. The Ring"
And that's how you do a finale. This season's last episode of Chuck has it all: romance, drama, fight scenes, Jeffster!, intrigue, nostalgia, and a good deal of promise for — please, oh please — a third season. And despite warnings from the show's creators, I'm not exactly burning my living room over it; I'm just excited that I got to see one darn fine hour of television.
TV Tonight: The Chuck Season Finale
Peanuts saved Jericho. Can Subway's $5 Footlong save Chuck?
I certainly hope it can — or, at least that the sandwiches, the Twitter campaign, the blog pleas and open letters, and the general outpourings of Internet love will be enough to convince NBC that Chuck deserves another season.
