“Chuck” Makes Comeback, “Terminator” Terminated

I’m not surprised that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles got axed. Although I stuck with the show, not too many people did (I blame the writing, which made a good chunk of the season drag on with meandering plot lines). I’ll miss it.

As for Dollhouse. I have yet to fully watch a single episode, but I plan on catching up over the summer. I’m glad Whedon and Dushku are getting another shot.

Chuck is the biggest surprise. For a show that is so acclaimed, and is doing well with ratings, I’m shocked that NBC is treating it like some second-class show. I think the quality of the show is more consistent when compared to NBC’s other show, Heroes. It’s most likely a money thing; a great show that everyone loves that also happens to not make any money for the network. Still, I’m glad it’s back for at least one more season.

That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news: The 13-episode pickup came after Warner Bros. agreed to make significant budget concessions, including scaling back the number of episodes several members of the show’s stellar supporting cast will appear in and, per one insider, possibly eliminating one actor altogether (R.I.P. Anna Wu?). The show is also expected to cut two of its staff writers.
