NBC has picked up its freshman drama series "Chuck" and "Life" -- as well as its hit "Heroes" -- for the 2008-09 season, it was announced today by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, and Marc Graboff, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.

All three series will have major re-launch campaigns next year.

"We are thrilled to be bringing back the high-energy dramas 'Chuck' and 'Life' for next season," said Silverman. "Additionally, we will be saving and re-launching our #1 drama and most successful franchise, 'Heroes,' so that it will run in all original episodes in the fourth quarter."

"These pickups are a sign of our confidence in these quality series and will allow the respective producers to get a head start on their creative arc for next season," said Graboff. "As a result, they give us a lot to build on as we point to next year's schedule."

I'm no fan of this Chuck show. It just rips off Reaper...poorly.

While I am happy to see the Baldwin boy in Jayne-mode again....he's really the only reason to watch the show, and if they just moved Baldwin to reaper Chuck would be dead.

The difference is subtle but vital:

"Reaper" is a show written by geeks about geeks

"Chuck" is a show written by non-geeks about geeks; basically, a pastische of their various stereotypes of geekdom; sort of like how "Clark Kent" is Superman's critique of the weak human beings around him; that's what he sees them as.
