"Chuck" Has Real Finale, Hopes for Future

9:15 PM / Posted by Unknown /

The list of TV shows that I have to make time for every week is relatively small, for the amount of shows that I love. One of the shows that I make time for and see every week is Chuck, the geek-centered spy comedy. While Chuck is really good as a stand-alone show from week-to-week, it really shines in a couple of longer-term areas, mainly the battle Chuck Bartowski goes through every week of whether or not he wants to be a spy and how he must deal Sarah, his "handler" whom he loves.

Well, in an age where no TV show is safe and you don't know if your favorite show is going to get a true ending, there is hope.

This week, from Wonder Con in San Francisco, creator Josh Schwartz (he of Gossip Girl fame) told the press that the finale to Chuck's second season would be "a game-changer" and would be a jumping off point for a new season. He went on to say that it is the ending they've had in mind since the show began.

This news made me pretty darn happy, considering that Chuck taps into my geekiness, my dopey romantic and my comedy sides. Like I said in my article about Life on Mars' cancellation, good writing is a rare commodity on TV and should be cherished.

Schwartz went on to talk about Chuck's chances for a third season, which he's optimistic about, saying that NBC has been supportive of the show from a creative standpoint. While I love to hear this news, it makes me wonder what if ABC managed their network the same way?
