a little weird to see these announced so far in advanced, but I suppose a little weird for NBC just really isn't weird anymore.
via press release:

Celebrity Apprentice…prepared to be destroyed by the Lost series finale.
Chuck 2hr finale…Awesome!
So is Chuck getting more episodes or is NBC going to run reruns?
Anyway, 2-hour season finale is great.
LOL @ the gun in the pic, i havent done the math but thats a 19 ep order right? oh well, 19s better than 13
that means that chuck would have two repeats somewhere between march 1st and may 24th… thats not that awesome… or maybe nbc is thinking of ordering two more episodes (yeah right…)
20, my bad
Marekzn, dont forget there’s a 2 week break starting next week
[/spam posts] =p
19, not 20. And even with the two week break I had it ending on May 17 running straight through so, Markezn is right though it might be something else on two Mondays other than Chuck rather than repeats.
I Hope Chuck gets a forth Season renuel
Maybe NBC will throw Day One out there on some Monday, as that was the intended day for it.
Why did they put “Apprentice” Finale against Lost Finale?
It’s an insane move.
^So people that hate LOST (like me) have something to watch.^
Will the 2 hour Season/Series(?) finale of Chuck be a true 2 hour finale, or back to back 1 hr episodes?
Re RJ:^So people that hate LOST (like me) have something to watch.^
I can’t think of anything I’d rather watch less than “Apprentice” unless it’s Jay Leno. But since you’re a “LOST” hater and Yankee fan to boot, it’s obvious you have no taste.
Since it hasn’t been filmed yet, one would assume it will be a true 2 hour finale. I think that’s one of the nice things about announcing this so far in advance.
Hey Rick Spy, my brother from another mother,
I agree with every point of yours. Why , if green is Universal, is NBC wasting the electricity to stay on the air?
“Why did they put “Apprentice” Finale against Lost Finale?”
Actually, Lost put it’s finale against Apprentice. Apprentice is normally on Sunday night and is run straight through, so with it’s start date it will naturally end on May 23. Lost, on the other hand, airs on Tuesday, but is moving it’s finale up 2 days to air on Sunday.
@dancanman: at one point Chuck wasn’t even going to have a third season, then it did thanks to a massive internet campaign and funding from Subway (which should be very visible in tonight’s sixth episode), followed by an extra six episodes (to nineteen) and then, the icing on the cake – the return of Scott Bakula (Chuck’s dad) for those final six episodes.
A two hour finale is going to be epic. Roll on season 4. After all, with Heroes tanking, Chuck is pretty much the highest rated scripted drama on NBC. How can NBC not renew the most awesome show they have?
Chuck will be renewed. At this point, there’s no way it CAN’T. NBC needs it.
Speaking of which, what a difference I year makes. Last year it was a bubble show that came down to the 25th hour, with budget cuts required. Now it’s the only bright spot to a pathetic Monday night for NBC. Hell, it’s a bright spot for the NETWORK (outside of The Office/30 Rock and Biggest Loser).
