Fox release their full fall schedule tomorrow, right? So we'll learn about Terminator then, I guess.

Not sure it bodes real well that Dollhouse and Fringe got the green light early but we're still clueless about TTSCC. Fuck I hope they don't screw me.

The only one I've heard for certain as not coming back was Zach Braff. Even then, the door is open for him to do guest spots. I'd expect the rest of the original regulars to return as recurring at worst, but probably not as full-on, every episode, regular cast members.

That is what I thought too.

If they do not renew Terminator I am going to be pissed. Dollhouse has been a huge let down, I was really excited about it. I am very happy that Fringe was renewed. It is my second favorite show right now behind House.

Two more days for Chuck:

Our long journey is almost over. How long must we wait to hear some kind of official announcement from NBC? Finally, it truly is any day now. At this point I am 99.999 percent confident Chuck will be renewed. Of course, I don?t mean to frighten anyone, but I?m still stinging a little from being 97%+ confident Dollhouse would be canceled.

On the plus side, the site finally seems to have functioned well for more than a couple of hours at a time, and if it can make it through the Chuck renewal announcement in the coming days, I will likely be taking the entire month of June off.

The fifteen days of Chuck is almost over, unless Yvonne Strahovski shows up at my door, points a gun at me and says, ?No, the days of Chuck are not over! There will be 365 days of Chuck. Any day that ends in a ?y? is a day for Chuck!?

Ok, ok, she probably wouldn?t have to point a gun at me?

As they structured the show, I don't know how they can write off Braff without writing off Sarah Chalke, too. If it's going to center on the hospital and the main character's personal lives, Elliot can't commute from an apartment she lives in with JD without JD making at least an occasional appearance.

I love Scrubs, but am a little afraid of what is to come.

I remember reading about an idea that ABC and/or the creators of the show had, in which this was going to be the final regular Scrubs season, and following seasons were going to focus more on the new interns, and end up having kind of a constantly changing cast due to that. The way that article had summed it up was like Scrubs meets ER. Braff has said numerous times he wants to move on from the show and move up to more of the behind the scenes, directing some episodes and whatnot. Seems the main cast will part ways, or make guest appearances from time to time, but essentially it'll become a new show.

In battle of Chuck vs. the Network Suits, the Buy More geek has prevailed.

NBC has decided to give Josh Schwartz's well-liked action-comedy another shot next fall.

The network picked up 13 episodes of the series from Warner Bros., which, in a business-side trend this year, made some budget concessions to secure the show a third season.

Fans pushed NBC very hard for a pickup, launching a "Save Chuck" campaign that included buying sandwiches at series sponsor Subway.

Chuck joins Southland among the shows NBC has renewed for fall. Given that 10 p.m. will be off the board due to Jay Leno's talk show, the network has considerably fewer slots than usual to fill.

Confidence has been pretty high that Chuck would return. Once Fox found a way to make the much lesser-rated Dollhouse work for fall late last week, Chuck returning to NBC seemed almost certain. It also probably hasn't hurt that star Zachary Levi has been a team player for NBC, appearing in the network's PSA campaigns, marketing promotions and events.

Here's Chuck's 18-49 ratings for the season, with the final number having gone up a tenth in the nationals since this chart was created. As you can see, for all the woes about the show's ratings, it actually performed fairly steady, dropping only slightly in midseason.

Scrubs coming back angers me.

I absolutely hate when shows that shoulda ended a while ago drag on.

They had a shitty 6th & 7th season, & then finished things up with a great 8th season, with an extremely good ending.

To milk this for another season after such a solid ending really pisses me off, so much so i likely will not watch this.

Dollhouse coming back is good.

YES! Chuck made it! WHOO HOO!

As for Scrubs, they've said that Braff and Chalke are signed for 6 episodes to transition to the new show.

Why did they bring back Chuck? The premise was getting old quickly, and I lost interest early in the second season.

Chuck
Dollhouse

Excellent. The two shows on the list I wanted renewed.
TSCC was improving by end of season, but there was a lot of crappy writing before that.
The Unit was a good show, as well, but I think it's run its course. I wouldn't feel to bad if they canceled it.

there's a post above about Fox owning the Dollhouse rights, so the profit margins aren't as thin and production costs are probably lower.

also, as much as I love TSCC and hate Dollhouse, TSCC has had two seasons to prove itself and failed twice.

maybe WB will rethink it if T:Salvation goes gangbusters.
