Whatever happened to that saying "You've got to spend money to make money?" Either take the show or don't, Peacock. Don't take a borderline show with a devoted, fanatical fan base ,cut its resources, and then expect it to succeed. NBC is still ostensibly one of the four major networks, but sometimes they feel a lot like UHF. This from Entertainment Weekly:

Question: What's the latest on Chuck's renewal? --Dave
Ausiello: Warner Bros. and NBC are haggling over money. Shocking, I know. If a deal can be worked out -- and I have every reason to believe it can (and will) be -- it'll be back for a 13-episode third season.

Good. Back, we're sure, with a whole lot more product placement.
