Well, they are planning on canceling Chuck after this season anyway. So what better way than to put it into the Friday death slot and blame the falling ratings on audience loss of interest.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
Well, Chuck is about the only thing on NBC now!
Harry's Law is good, but if Criminal Minds stays on it's current day and time, I figure it will win out (at least for me).

Why is NBC so determined to kill off this show? How many times have they brought it back from the brink now? Three? Four? This will surely end it. All I can say is whatever they put to replace it better be awesome or my Mondays will be free again.

Chuck and Sara will become pregnant and have a baby by the end.
Baby will show signs of being hyper-develped.
Fade out scene of last episode, baby is shown having Intersect abilities passed on to him through DNA. ........
Baby is shown through the old Ally McBeal baby CGI performing Kung Fu

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I always watch it on hulu, so it doesn't much matter when NBC airs it for me.

Actually the show's been pretty weak this season, and IMO because they actually develop the characters, it's always had a shelf life. his journey from zero to hero has always been what the show is about, and once the trip was done whats left that would really make the show all that different from any other spy themed show to keep it going much longer than a season or two?

yeah, but I don't think the real Playboy Clubs had any nudity anyway. Just girls in the bunny outfits serving booze to men smoking cigars and listening to jazz.... or something like that. An old fashioned Hooters.

Actually several of the primary stars for The Playboy Club had to sign nudity clauses in their contract. The theory is to spice up the DVD sales and to sell to overseas less prudish markets.

Besides, a show titled "The Playboy Club" without nudity is like..well...posing for Playboy without being at least topless.

If you like a decent drama, Parenthood is actually quite good. Don't be thrown off by the commercials... they tend to sometimes be a little heavy handed. The acting and writing is quite solid, and the emotions for it are genuine. I'm not a huge TV watcher, but this show has actually been one I try to watch.|

Definitely not for you if you're in the mood for Chuck or something light, but it's pretty good.

Outside of the Comedies, Chuck is pretty much all I care about on NBC. I've tried Harry's Law, and frankly I thought it was a little trite and predictable. Which isn't to say it won't get better, as I like Kathy Bates.
That said, I don't know what NBC is thinking. Why move Chuck, for 4 seasons it's been on at the same time, now why mess with it? Bad enough Monday nights have been revolving door of other shows around Chuck, Heroes, the Cape, The Event, that Christian Slater show, Harry's Law, etc.
It can't help a show to have the line up around it constantly being shuffled, now the movie to Friday nights.....
I was hoping for more than 13 episodes next season, but we shall see I guess.

"Chuck" has been on the verge of being cancelled every year . . . and yet the few but vocal fans have kept it alive by appealing to the show's sponsors. Moving it to Friday Night? NBC has to put something in that slot, and they are only renewing the show because certain sponsors continue to support it.
I have really enjoyed "Chuck," but this season has had its ups and downs. It has had a number of fantastic moments, but has also had some not-so-great episodes. (My favorite moment was Jeffster playing "Push It" in the Maternaty Ward.) I think "Chuck" has probably run its course. Most shows that rely upon a "will they or won't they" romance seem to lose a big part of their charm once the couple finally gets together. "Chuck" has done a pretty good job at extending the show, and I love the characters. The actors seem like a really great group in their various interviews. And the show packs plenty of eye candy, too. I just hope that the writers can put together a really great last season.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
