sadTopic: TV Shows
A morning with relief that the CHUCK TV series made it this far on mainstream TV, with five seasons featuring 91 episodes; and a morning with sadness after watching the series finale the night before, that was actually two episodes shown back to back. Tina and I discussed the two episodes very briefly last night after the show ended. She thought the first episode was just a little slow in places, but that the final episode was well written, and a fitting end to the TV series that she has loved to watch for five seasons now. I found that for a change, that a series finale actually was well written, and wrapped up the series more than satisfactorily, and gave a fresh start to several characters that I had grown to love. Which ones? Well, I'm not going to say here, but suffice to say that several of the Comic-Con favorite characters / actors go on in style in 'reel life'!
Not that I didn't like it as much, just that with the name of the blog becoming 'Comic Book Collectors Blog', I centered the blog more on comics, of which the CHUCK TV Show had a mini-series with six issues that started in 2008, and a one-shot issue in 2009. The writer of the final episode, Chris Fedak, also wrote the Season Finales for Seasons 2-4 before this Series Finale. Chris wrapped up this series so well, that as I keypunch this blog, I feel the loss of the TV show already. That's because it has been part of both Tina and my life for five seasons and several Comic-Cons, which featured CHUCK panels. Great times! Not that many TV shows rate that highly in my regard to them, other than TV shows from my childhood... Where there has to be some sort of 'nostalgia factor' for me to remind them so fondly. This TV Series, although it had its ups and downs over 91 episodes, kept hanging in there, and provided much needed entertainment with nerdy moments, (Comic-Con posters on Chuck's walls, and other pop culture treasures), plus including several of my favorite TV shows actors, (Shout Out to Scott Bakula as Chuck's Dad!). I could go on and on about this actress or that actor, but it was the combination of good writing, different directions that the series took each season, that kept it in our Top Ten Favorite TV Shows for all five seasons it was on. This series was a fine one, and all those involved in it, cast, crew, writers, producerts, et. al, have reasons to be proud of their achievements. Thus... A Fond Farewell to One of Our Favorite Shows for the past five seasons. Farewell, CHUCK...
