Here's the relevant Chuck info:
THR: "Chuck" -- a bit surprising on Mondays?
Bromstad: Pleasant surprise, and they're doing great work.
THR: So fans presumably won't have to buy Subway sandwiches again this year?
Bromstad: Well, it's got to maintain, and it depends on development.
It isn't much, but when you compare to the other bubble shows that were mentioned, Heroes and Community, Bromstad seems much more hopeful with Chuck.
I think it's interesting that she's "pleasantly surprised" at how Chuck is performing. It's probably due to the fact that NBC had low expectations for the show, and they didn't expect Chuck to be their highest-rated show on Monday. Add to the fact that Chuck is the 2nd highest rated drama on NBC, behind Law & Order: SVU. It seems like that Chuck has to maintain its ratings (2.4+) and it looks good for season 4.
The statement "depends on development" is just executive talk. That's mention every year, so there's nothing to be worried about with that statement.
Other things to note:
- 10 pm hour will likely be all scripted, at least Monday through Thursday.
- NBC plans on picking up 5 or 6 dramas, and 4 or 5 comedies
- NBC has a good working relationship with Warner Bros.
- JJ Abrams pilot 'Undercovers' looks good for a pick-up
- Thursday comedy block will likely stay in tact
