NBC’s New Head Likes ‘Chuck’

New NBC head honcho Ben Silverman is pleased with a couple of the shows on his inherited Fall schedule:

Silverman said Betty is the kind of fun “aspirational” television he wants to bring to NBC. He hasn’t seen all of NBC’s pilots yet, he says, (he hasn’t even moved into his Burbank office yet) but of those he has seen, Journeyman and Chuck stood out on the strength of their leading men, Kevin McKidd and Zachary Levi, respectively.

“There’s a lot of fresh talent that I think is going to break through,” he says.
