If NBC is ordering more episodes, maybe the writers’ strike really is almost over.
TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello has the scoop that NBC has upped the episode orders for both “Chuck” and “Life” from 13 episodes to 22.
Read all of Ausiello’s story on the matter here.

“Life” is a crime drama, from writer-producer Rand Ravich (“The Astronaut’s Wife”), about LAPD detective Charlie Crews (Britisher Damian Lewis, “Dreamcatcher”), who spent 11 years in prison for three murders he didn’t commit. He discovered zen. He was proven innocent, set free and given millions in settlement money. Now he’s back on the force solving crime and trying to figure out who framed him.
Sarah Shahi, the hot little Iranian/Spaniard from Euless, Texas, who played the Latina lesbian on “L Word,” assays Crews’ partner. Brooke Langdon is hot also as Crews’ lawyer. Adan Arkin is less hot as Crews’ fellow ex-con, financial advisor and tenant.

The official premieres of NBC’s four new fall dramas are still at least 11 days away, but the network is determined you see them early.
We’ve known for a while that Blockbuster has been renting the pilots of “Bionic Woman,” “Chuck,” “Journeyman” and “Life” to its customers.
I got an email late Wednesday telling me that cable systems carrying something called HD Showcase On Demand are also making the pilots available. (I get On Demand and HD via Time Warner here in Studio City, Calif., but my customer care rep just assured me that I don’t get HD On Demand in my area for at least another seven months.)
Finally, those who crave instant gratification (but don’t want to risk NBC Universal and the MPAA suing them - or their parents – for hundreds of thousands of dollars over bittorrent copyright infringement), can currently also rent the pilots via Unbox, which apparently works with both computers and TiVo. Click on the photos to watch. All are FREE!
I recommend starting with “Chuck,” which is a sci-fi comedy actioner created by “O.C.” mastermind Josh Schwartz. It co-stars “Full Metal Jacket”/”Firefly” vet Adam Baldwin as an angry government goon.
For those content to wait, the NBC premiere dates:
Chuck: Sept. 24
Journeyman: Sept. 24
Bionic Woman: Sept. 26
Life: Sept. 26
SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY

It looks like the success of "Heroes" has emboldened NBC to stick with the strange. (Bet they're glad they didn't give up after "Surface" tanked!)
The network doesn’t announce its fall slate till Monday, but Mike Ausiello at TV Guide already has some of its key components:
* “The Bionic Woman,” a scifi drama about a cyborg babe, from writer-producer David Eick (“Battlestar Galactica”) and writer Laeta Kalogridis (“Alexender,” “Battle Angel”).
* “Journeyman,” a scifi drama about a dude who keeps traveling back through time to fix stuff, from writer Kevin Falls (“The West Wing,” “North Shore”).
