from Across the Airwaves Podcast (Standard MP3) · host Dan Schmidt & Nico Reifsteck
Over the years there has been many characters on Television that I've loved but there isn't one that I admire as much as Chuck Bartkowski. In the world that he exists in most people just see him as a lowly Buy More employee, you know the guy that you call when there's a computer emergency. Then again, to the people that are closest to him and us as the audience Chuck is a goofball nerd, a hapless romantic, a heroic spy but most importantly Charles Irving Bartkowski always knew how to help those in need by just emanating this internal optimism that had a habit of reminding us no matter how hopeless things appear to be, they can turn out to be okay in the end. In fact, I'd like to think Chuck created a movement in the real world that inspired fans to live life with his eternal optimism as we tirelessly went out to buy our 3-D glasses, order Subway sandwiches and join in on a flash mobs all to overcome the hopeless situation of NBC canceling Chuck but somehow like with the experiences of the show's title character things turned out to be okay as the show did the impossible of being renewed not just once but twice, something that has never occurred in the history of television. And you want to know why we kept wanting more Chuck? It's because he almost acted as an IT repair man of our personal lives giving us the instructions on how to overcome our shortcomings and failures by just simply being positive with everything we do. Now, after five seasons of fun adventures our intersect training wheels have been taken off as Chuck has come to an end with the Buy More's automatic doors closing before we really got to see things between our hero and the love of his life, Sarah were going to be okay but as a reviewer on Small Screen Scoop.com put it best you don't need someone to tell you that Chuck and Sarah will be okay, because you just know it. Again, there's people out there who were absolutely infuriated by the open ended nature of this ending but ultimately what the Executive Producers were going for is giving us that last piece of vital advice before sending us into a world without Chuck. In other words, Fedak and Schwartz not allowing us to see Chuck's future but leaving us with the assumption that it will be okay is there way of telling us how to live our own unseen future, with eternal optimism or else we will end up like that fun killer Daniel Shaw. On that note, we here at ATA full well understand that living your life with constant eternal optimism is not easy to do especially with one of their favorite shows from going off the air so to keep you from running around screaming pineapple, we decided to have an event called Chuck Versus the ATA Live Show to act as a final tribute to the little show that could, which played a part in the creation of our podcast. However, this chance to say goodbye extended beyond myself and Smallville Retro Reviews' host Michael J. Petty as we got some of you listeners out there to join in on reminiscing about the great times we had watching Chuck from the pulse pounding action to the Jeffster performances and the heartwarming moments. Although, for those of you who didn't make it to join us after the airing of the Chuck Finale we proudly present to you a rerecording of Chuck Versus The ATA Live Show...
