So maybe not a lot of you watched Chuck. That's fine. A lot of people didn't. But I did, and I'm going to talk about Chuck.
Chuck is a show that nearly died three years ago, and instead improbably survived the death camp that is NBC for three seasons, and roughly nineteen possible season finales.
In the past five seasons the show has featured great villains:
Musical numbers:

pretty neat action scenes:

and things that somehow combine most of those things!

Anyways, tonight is the TWO HOUR SERIES FINALE. Let's talk about Chuck.

you might have seen it!
but you probably didn't see it
man, that makes me wonder
this is probably going to go into syndication on there or like the hallmark channel really fast
But this season, we moved and set the tivo up incorrectly. So by the time we learned we had messed up, it was already too late to catch up. Have to catch this last season in other ways!
I was thoroughly mediocred
At least I'll still have Parks and Rec.

I am concerned with how it could end after last week's episode though.
Play Fanduel. One Day Fantasy Leagues use my referral
Be my friend on Magic Online! Dogbone19 is me.
monk was a good show about white people
Only good shows are about white people
Speaking of shows
Anyone watch Alcatraz? Tell me about it.
Oh I guess the river is coming out soon.
Sam Neill must be lonely.
Because tie-in novels for TV and movies usually suck?
Not all the time. They made Chuck comic books.
My friend's mom is in that!
Is she hot?
Can I smell it?
Alcatraz is so stupid that it was kind of funny! But mainly stupid.
Fuck it then.
Archer's coming back, so that's all I need. Besides Fringe that is.
That's a show that is always on the brink of collapse but isn't poop like Chuck in recent seasons.
Yeah, I am looking at you, Geebs!
Um, it probably should have ended a while ago.
Chuck's never been stellar TV, but it's always been a lot of fun and always makes you feel good. Hopefully most of the actors involved end up getting more roles after it is over.
With the Cinematic Marvel Universe coming together Yvonne Strahovski would make an excellent Carol Danvers.
But I also like Sarah Connor and the weinerlicous costume, this finale is OK. The first hour made me fairly sour.
Yeah I guess I could do without more Morgan.
As long as Adam Baldwin gets more work. He seems to keep getting doomed to cult classics.
I wouldn't really call being on a five season show as "doomed".

I know a lot of people kind of fell by the wayside as the show went on, and I know it had some rough stretches (it never really matched the consistency (and budget) of the second season, for one), but I think the whole "fun little show" thing is kind of...I dunno, not really fair. It was fun, and it was light at parts, and it certainly never aspired to the level of something like a Breaking Bad, or whatever.
But it had a great cast, and was full of great characters that did grow and change over the course of the series, and a bunch of really memorable moments and argh you know what, I loved this show, and even though I'm glad they got to end it the way they wanted, and I'm glad it got five seasons, I'm still really sad that there are no more new Chuck episodes to watch.
monk was actually pretty good
