Chuck receives a full-season order at NBC along with the new series Chase

Chase is heavily time-shifted, adding 21 percent to its "live plus same day" 18-49 rating when Nielsen issued "live plus seven day" results for the opening two weeks of the season (to a 2.66 rating from a 2.19).

Chase is the only show I watch on Mondays besides the local news. Give this show a break folks...its a good show. Good plot lines and I like the fact that it has insidiously grown on me... to tell you the truth I started watching this show because I am a huge Cole Hauser fan and I now watch just to see what is going to happen. I am glad that they have picked up the show for the season.

Yea Chuck is just fine. But drop the hell out of Chase it sucks and Outlaw is way better. NBC is really a bunch of idiots.
