'Chuck,' 'Grimm' premieres pushed back one week

Be careful what you wish for.

Just after I lamented the impending “beginning of the end” of Chuck, NBC has announced the long-awaited final season will kick off one week later than was previously announced. The fifth season will now premiere Oct. 28, right before the debut of Grimm, which is also being pushed back a week.

The premieres are being touted as part of “two nights of Halloween-themed” programming, that will begin Oct. 27, with themed episodes of the net’s Thursday night comedies, Community, Parks and Recreations, The Office, and Whitney.
