Despite the fact that it never got above 28 degrees today, today was not a bad day.  Well, at least TV-wise.

Not only is there a possible deal to end the WGA strike by Christmas but both "Chuck" and "Life" got picked up for full seasons.  While I'm glad they both got picked up I'm surprised "Chuck" wasn't picked up before the strike began.  Everyone I know who watches it loves it and it seems to be doing fairly well in the ratings.  I guess I'll forgive them for taking so long and just be happy it was picked up.  With last week's (the week before last?) news that "Dirty Sexy Money" got picked up for a full season, it's been pretty good TV-wise.  Except for the fact that, as of now, the WGA strike is still going on.

I am sad that after tonight there's only one more new episode of "Heroes".  Tonight and next week better make up for the horrible beginning to the season.

From S1E1 of "Life":

Dani Reese: Why does the universe laugh at us?
Charlie Crews: Maybe it's insecure.

Halfway through the pilot episode I gotta say that the jury's still out on this show.  It's quirky but I can't tell if it's supposed to be "funny quirky" or "serious quirky".  I've laughed out loud a couple times but I'm not sure if I was supposed to laugh when I did.  Also, all the previews I saw for this show were a little misleading - it's not exactly what I thought it would be.  I think I'll give it a few more episodes before I make my final decision though.  Hopefully it lasts that long.
