'Chuck' renewed for 4th season

Fear not 'Chuck' fans, the reluctant super-spy we all love will be returning for a 4th season.

NBC made the announcement yesterday.  The show, which has been on the bubble despite having a very loyal fanbase and big time critical acclaim, will return for 13 episodes.

'Chuck' has had steady ratings this season.  They haven't been great ratings, but they have been steady.  Considering the competition in that timeslot (House, Dancing With the Stars, and How I Met Your Mother) , the show has performed admirably.

While 13 episodes is the official order, NBC has the option of adding up to 9 more episodes.  Before Season Two, when the show had also been renewed for only 13 episodes, the network ordered a full season of the show before anything had aired after being impressed with the quality of the early episodes. A similar situation happened this season, when the network bumped the order from 13 episodes to 19 before anything had even aired.
