Chuck Versus More New Episodes
Wed, October 28, 2009 
UPDATE: The Live Feed now has official confirmation. NBC has in fact ordered six more episodes. AKA a big "Ya!" for Chuck fans like me. Props to The Wrap for breaking this news-item!
About two weeks or so back, I reported on rumblings that Chuck might have its premiere date pushed up six months from its originally announced March 2010 start. In said article, I stated:
Aussiello’s soruce(s) also note that pushing the third season premiere up also increases the likelihood of addition episodes being produced beyond the initial 13 order. Do I think this will happen? Yes, I do.
Cut to now and The Wrap reveals that NBC plans on ordering six additional episodes of the cult spy-comedy in addition to the already-planed thirteen shows.
Being the jerk I am, I could say, “Obviously, the network was listening to me! What other explanation is there?” However, the most logical answer is simply, “Great minds think alike!” Or maybe it’s merely one giant coincidence and thus further bruising my massive ego.
I say, “The more Chuck, the better!” But I still can’t imagine this getting a fourth season beyond the now 19-episode third season. That is unless NBC plans of eating their two-year deal with The Jay Leno Show and will, by default, need five extra hours of programming.

I'm seeing a NBC spy night with Chuck and the JJ Abrams produced spy show next fall.
Between this and Star Trek, Jaime is becoming a freaky Nostradamus of Internet movie websites. Creepy!
