NBC orders more episodes of 'Chuck,' 'Life'

NBC has clearly taken to heart the name of Chuck's place of employment, Buy More: The network just ordered nine additional episodes of the freshman drama starring Zachary Levi as a most unlikely secret agent man. The Peacock gave the same love to another new hourlong series, Life, meaning that when this strike business is finally resolved, both Chuck and Life will run for a full season. Meanwhile, NBC’s two other first-year dramas — Bionic Woman and Journeyman — can only press their noses against the renewal glass and pray for an early Christmas present.
