Hasta la vista, Sarah Connor! Welcome back, Chuck!

Monday 18 May 2009
Predictably, Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles won't be back for a third season, so the game-changing finale will have to remain a talking point for fans. Still, there is good news to compensate: NBC has decide to renew Chuck for a third year, albeit reduced to a 13-episode run with a budget cut. It's rumoured this means the cast won't all appear together very regularly, and it's possible one cast member could be fired to save expenses. Any suggestions?

P.S. If you didn't hear at the weekend; Dollhouse has been picked up for a second year thanks to strong DVR/online ratings and the fact Joss Whedon has agreed to drastically reduce his overheads. Apparently, the mythical thirteenth episode "Epitaph One" was created on a shoestring for the DVD, and Whedon used it as an example to execs that Dollhouse can be done much cheaper.

To recap: Boo! No more Summer Glau kicking ass in tight jeans! But... hooray! More Yvonne Strahovski kicking ass in her underwear!
