"Chuck," the NBC show that inspired a massive Internet campaign -- which included a group of television journalists -- has been picked up for 13 episodes. The network announced its new shows two weeks ago but will present its schedule, including renewals, on Tuesday.
And "Cold Case," a CBS show on the bubble, is reportedly close to being renewed. Which may be bad news for Without a Trace" -- the two successful but expensive procedurals were said to be vying for one renewal slot. CBS' upfront is Wednesday.

All well and good about *CHUCK,* but what about the equally engaging *REAPER*? (I know, I know, ABC-produced Reaper is on the fast-fading CW and Chuck is NBC, but does that small detail REALLY matter to a mere VIEWER? Not a lot, I would imagine.)
In any event: RENEW *REAPER*!

If true, renewing Chuck is a good thing.
The show is enjoyable and much better than other stuff on broadcast tv. I wonder why there are so many variations of crime investigation shows on the air. Are people really watching those?
