Chuck star Zachary Levi reveals to E! exclusively that NBC will not renew or cancel beloved spy dramedy Chuck for at least another week.
Cast and crew had originally expected to hear before Monday’s planned NBC “infront” presentation to advertisers. So what’s the holdup with the decision Here’s what Levi said about the NBC schedule right now: “I don’t envy the job of anyone at NBC or any network to have to make those calls,” he told us. “It’s a very difficult thing to do, especially in television nowadays, even trying to get a solid idea of how many people watch. It’s so difficult between live and DVR and videotapes and Internet streaming and downloading and all that. And really, the concept of television has always been ‘advertising money makes the shows,’ and when people stop watching advertising because they’re just going blip-blip, blip-blip [through the commercials] or watching online, you can’t blame the companies for not wanting to put their money into it. Because it’s like, what’s the point Nobody’s watching the commercials.” In other NBC series news, Southland star Michael Cudlitz confirmed to us via that NBC has ordered 13 more episodes of the John Wells-produced vérité drama about Los Angeles police officers. The official announcement is expected Monday. So what do you think is causing the delay And should NBC keep Chuck —Reporting by Gretchen Putnam and Natalie Abrams
