In reply to Ben. I loved the finale too, but I can understand why a lot of fans didn't. However, even when Chuck was at its lowest points for me - (Mask, Fake Name and Morgansect) I didn't hate Fedak or Schwartz. I may not have cared for the choices they made in those episodes and I definitely was vocal with my opinions, but I didn't hate TPTB. After all if it wasn't for them, there would have been no Chuck and out of 91 episodes I can count all the episodes I didn't like on 1 hand. That's some pretty talented writing.

In reply to ThereIsAnother. Move over Kevin Bacon, the new game is 6 degrees of Chuck. It is funny, but now whenever I see an actor/actress on TV that was on Chuck, I remember them from their Chuck character. Like a few weeks ago they had the matrix on one of the channels here in Canada - and I said to myself - Hey Gertrude Verbanski is in this movie. It also works for music - whenever I here a song from the show on the radio or in another TV show I think of the wonderful Chuck episode it came from.

The Cult might be interesting, and I will probably give the Beauty and the Beast a try just because its Kristin, but I doubt it will be interesting to me. I didn’t care for the earlier version with Linda Hamilton.

Josh also has “Hart of Dixie” on CW as well doesn’t he?

In reply to Doctor Bob. Doctor Bob- Just got around to reading your comment which was extremely well put. Could not agree more. Loved the "..teasing and tormenting..." comment. I could go on forever but I will spare you all.

I personally loved the finale and I don’t understand why any fans will say bad things about Josh or Chris if they didn’t like the finale.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but one of the characters on the Beauty and the Beast show is Heather Chandler. Also, remember who played Beauty in the TV show back in the 80’s.

I know, reaching but still.

In reply to Judy. It does for us, so much so we bought CDs and blue rays of the whole series so that we can do the weekend re-watch or re-watch a particular episode.

It appears that Beauty and the Beast is a direct reboot of the previous TV series which starred Linda Hamilton so there is another CHUCK connection. I remember watching the original TV series and the outline sounds identical the characters have the same names. I enjoyed the original, but I suspect that was because even then Linda Hamilton was fun to watch. I might give this a try.

As far as TPTB. I suspect that Chris Fedak was a much bigger part of CHUCK than Josh, so if there were hard feelings, I’d think that Chris would be on the hook.

I thought the Chuck finale left us wanting more and keeps the Chuck story alive.

I too don’t have any hard feelings toward Schwartz but I have to admit that Chuck is the only show he’s been involved in that I’ve enjoyed and that ended very badly for me. I’ll be giving his future projects a miss, the show descriptions don’t sound promising to me at all. Thanks for the post though Mel.
