The best news isn't reflected in this schedule - Chuck got renewed! It'll return midseason for 13 episodes. 30 Rock also return in the winter. I still don't get how this network is struggling. They have plenty of shows I watch and they also have the best crop of new shows that I've seen thus far. Best of the bunch is the sitcom Community, starring The Soup's Joel McHale and Chevy Chase. Having Leno every night at 10 is a big gamble, but if it helps the other shows earn better ratings, I'm all for it.
