Mark Your Calendars: Lost, Chuck Return Soon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, NBC, Lost, News,
Christmas may end on December 26th, but we still have things to look forward to in early 2010.
Shortly after New Year’s, Chuck will make its return to NBC. The show - which was recently saved by a strong fan base - will kick off with a two-hour premiere on Sunday, January 10. It will then slide into its normal Monday/8:00 time slot the very next day (January 11). This assignment means Heroes will then be pushed into the 9:00 position.
Less than a month later, Lost will debut its final season. The ABC drama will have a three-hour event on Tuesday, February 2nd before settling into its Tuesday/9:00 time slot on February 9.

- The Big Bang Theory (3.4/10) had 9.3 million laughing; How I Met Your Mother (3.7/10) rounded up 8.9 million.
- Chuck (6.1 million, 2.3/6) did the same as before.
