Negotiations continue on fan favorites "Chuck" "Dollhouse," with the shows facing cost-cutting requests from their respective networks, NBC and Fox, and their pickup odds seeming to shift from moment to moment. Both could go down to the wire.

Chuck really deserves to stay but Dollhouse has totally fallen apart.

I am always skeptical when a show has to cut costs to stay afloat.

So if Chuck does get renewed then we probably won't see as many celebrity guest stars as this last season?

It also looks like it's only going to get a 13 episode pickup.

We may have the winner in the "Chuck vs. the renewal" face-off as early as Sunday.

Sources indicate that the bubble NBC dramedy with strong Web following is close to a third-season pickup.

The network had asked for significant budget reductions on top of the cuts producing studio Warner Bros. TV had already made going into the second season.

After weeks of back-and-forth, the two sides are said to be very close to a compromise that would bring the karate-enhanced intercept back next season.
