NBC has picked up both “Life” the crime show about a detective who spent several years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and “Chuck”, you know, that show show that comes on before Heroes, for a full 22 episodes each today.

That means, writer’s strike willing, we should get full first seasons of both of these shows. I know that there are fans of “Chuck” and “Life” roaming around the Bloggy Network. I haven’t gotten into either show myself, but from what I hear, they’re great.

About 8 million people a week are checking out the shows, giving them a solid foundation for continuing on for years to come.
