Bummer that NBC cancelled "Chase", but we have to wait for "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," "Bent," and "Smash" until 2012?
"Chuck" on Friday night = death
The whole schedule looks dull.
Sure, let's renew Chuck for a final season and put it on..... Friday? Stay classy NBC

TOO MUCH REALITY! They are not going to get me as a viewer with this schedule. I will check out The Playboy Club and Prime Suspect. I watched Harry's Law and look forward to it returning. Otherwise this is still "Must Flee TV". They passed on The Rockford Files last year and Wonder Woman this year....we know what last year's schedule gave us, this one does not appear any better.
@Alex Chuck is a FINAL season, so ofcourse it will die on friday, it's gonna end ANYWAY.
U are not a smart cookie are ya?
chuck is only for 13 episodes from what is being said ... hope they give the "back 9" for a good series finale
If chuck gets a back 9 it would have exactly 100 episodes. I know it does not take that much for syndication but it would be a milestone. Chuck deserves that milestone.
Am looking forward to Grimm because Friday nights on TV are terrible and it sounds interesting. Not so much the rest of the week!
Wow. None of the NBC shows that I currently watch are on the fall schedule. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
