Report: 'Chuck' getting more episodes

"Chuck" could very possibly go on longer than expected this season -- which raises the possibility that it could go on sooner as well.NBC is in negotiations with Warner Bros. TV, which produces the cult series, about ordering as many as six more episodes of the show, The Wrap reports. That would bring the total for the show's third season from 13 to as many as 19.
How NBC deals with the possible extra episodes -- no deal is in place yet -- is still the big question.
As things stand, NBC is planning to air 13 episodes of "Chuck" starting in March, after promoting the show during the Winter Olympics in February. It probably doesn't make much sense at this point to put the show on the air before the new year -- there's not really time to promote a November return, and viewing tends to go down in December as people prepare for the holidays.
That would leave two options: Bringing "Chuck" back in early 2010 and splitting the season into pre- and post-Olympics blocks or leaving the March premiere date intact and having the show run original episodes into the summer.
Regardless, though, more "Chuck" is a good thing, right? What are your thoughts on the news?

Go Chuck!! one of the only shows I can watch with my 8 year old that I am "safe" with watching with him. Also enough grown up thigs to make me laugh. Go Chuck Go
The more Chuck the better!
An uninterrupted run starting in March is my preference.
Whatever happens Chuck fans will need to get the word out when the show does return.

The more of Chuck we get, the better! I'm with the consensus here - a single block of shows would be ideal. But most important, I think, is not when it starts or how they block the episodes, but rather that they give it a good time slot and a good marketing campaign.
blah blah blah. Chuck sucks because it's on NBC. blah blah blah, I know nothing.

yay for chuck being back. I love this show and was so upset when it was said to have only 13 episodes.
I would love it if Chuck had more episodes. Its one of the best comedies out there, I wish more people saw it.
Excellent news!!
Woo to the hoo!!
I was amused by PM's request that "Chuck" be granted "a good time slot and a good marketing campaign."
Unless someone gave the show away to DirecTV when I wasn't paying attention, "Chuck" is still an NBC property, and those two assets no longer exist at that network.
I would love to see "Chuck" grow its audience to the point that NBC is willing to air it without the intercession of a corporate sponsor angel (thanks, Subway!), but I don't see how that is possible on the Peacock Network in 2010.
Grey's Anatomy (what remains of Grey's), Chuck, and Glee. This is the best tv season in a long time.
