Exclusive: NBC Extends Chuck, Life for Full Season!

It took 'em a while, but NBC is finally rewarding a few of its freshman series with back-nine orders - and methinks you guys will be
very pleased with the first two recipients.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Peacock has picked up
Chuck and
Life for the full season.
That noise you hear is Jaime Sommers' artificial ego short-circuiting.
What
Chuck and
Life have lacked in ratings might, they've more than made up for in buzz - a fact I'm reminded of every time I peer into my
Ask Ausiello mailbag. (And with the exception of
One Tree Hill, you Ausholes are rarely, if ever, wrong.) That's not to say that either show is tanking in the Nielsens.
Chuck, which, IMHO, hit a creative peak with last week's episode, is holding its own in a tough Monday time slot.
Life, meanwhile, is showing signs of just that Wednesdays at 10 pm. In fact, last week it built on its sagging
Bionic Woman lead-in for the first time in adults 18-49 - one of which will soon be me. (As you guys know, I checked out after the underwhelming pilot. But I'm gonna give it another shot. Promise.)
So, what say you? You happy with NBC's two-pronged pickup? Or was
Bionic Woman more deserving of one of those two slots? Speak now in the comments section below or forever keep your traps shut!
