For whatever reason, many of our favorite shows discussed at length around The Flickcast water cooler are on NBC. Because of that we often feel compelled to share previews of upcoming shows with you when we get them.

Today is no exception. This time around, in honor of Friday, we’ve got previews for tonight’s all new episodes of Grimm and Chuck.

First up on Chuck, Morgan is going rogue and Chuck needs to bring him down to Earth and back into the fold. Then, on Grimm, the line between good and evil gets blurred when Nick’s job forces to protect an enemy.

All the fun begins at 8/7C with Chuck. Check out all the previews after the break. As a public service, we should also mention that Fringe is all-new tonight too. We also love that show. Set your DVRs!

The show that would not die is back tonight with its season five premiere. I’m talking about, of course, Chuck.

Glad to see it’s getting a final season to end the story right. Chuck isn’t the only one returning tonight, though, he’ll be joined by guest stars Mark Hamill and Craig Kilborn.

Also premiering tonight is NBC’s all-new show Grimm, which looks very interesting. Potentially more interesting than ABC’s rival show Once Upon a Time. I guess we’ll see.

At any rate, we’ve got previews and whatnot for both shows after the break. So, if you’re interested (and you should be) click on through and check them out.

It all starts tonight at 8/7C with Chuck. That is, unless something happens and NBC decides to postpone the premieres due to the World Series. Could happen.

This news is both good and bad. On the one hand we’re thrilled that Chuck will be back for another season starting next Friday. Sadly, that good news is tempered with the realization that this will be the last season of the show.

Putting that aside for a minute, we’ve got a sneak peek at season five for you today. And man, does it look good. But wait, there’s more. . . a lot more.

We’ve also got an extended preview for the new show Grimm, which looks pretty awesome. In it you’ll see what all the fuss is about and meet some of the interesting characters that populate a world where fairy tails are real.

Plus, as an added bonus, we’ve thrown in an interview with one of the stars of Grimm, David Giuntoli, who talks about his character and the show. Check out both videos after the break.

Chuck returns next Friday, October 28, at 8/7C followed by the premiere of Grimm at 9/8C.

Its that time of year. The time when networks announce their entire schedule for the Fall and Mid-Season. First out of the gate is NBC which is introducing 12 new series next season including six dramas and six comedies.

NBC has put six new series including the dramas including The Playboy Club, Prime Suspect and Grimm and comedies Up All Night, Free Agents and Whitney on the fall schedule and has slots reserved for Smash and The Firm in midseason. Drama Awake and comedies Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, Bent and BFF have yet to be scheduled.

Of course, we’re glad to see some of our favorite shows returning next season including Community and Chuck. Oddly absent from the schedule at the moment is 30 Rock, which is apparently being postponed to make way for freshman comedy Whitney. Let’s hope it comes back soon.

Following is the full schedule, descriptions of the new shows and some preview video. This is a big one folks to read on.
