The Future of Chuck

Chuck Season FourAs a huge Chuck fan, I like to imagine the show continuing for ten or fifteen more seasons. Even though we know that the fifth season will be the show’s last (thanks to sagging ratings and a lack of new fans drawn in to the rather complex backstory), I like to imagine what Chuck would be like if the show continued.

Here are some fan fiction ideas gathered from around the Internet and my own Chuck-obsessed brain.

Chuck vs. Wally World

This episode in my fantasy Chuck season finds our hero out of a job due to government cutbacks and forced to work at a huge chain of megastores eerily similar to Wal-mart. We see Chuck attempting to piece together the answers to mysteries like “Who stole my Lunchables from the employee fridge?” and “Why can’t I earn a living wage working an honest job?” Opportunities for comedy are endless, as suave and handsome Chuck is forced to participate in the most banal of retail work situations. Guest stars could be Zach Galifianakis as the slightly overbearing totally insane Wally World manager and Sarah Silverman as a customer obsessed with Chuck.

Chuck: The Complete Fourth Season

Chuck vs. Pregnancy

In this wacky episode idea, the CIA reveals that Chuck has been implanted with a baby to test out some new science on the part of the CIA: can men have babies?

Chuck doesn’t react well at first until he realizes the huge payoff the CIA is offering him in exchange for going through with it. Of course, it all turns out to be a dream ala the famous Cosby Show male pregnancy episode. Hilarity, of course, ensues.

Chuck vs. Chuck

When Chuck meets his clone (or is it his clone?) his world is shattered. Even worse, it turns out that the clone is really Chuck from the future–and meeting yourself from the future can have dire consequences for the stability of the entire universe. Thick with string theory, physics, and hard science, this episode would be a natural fit for a guest appearance by Stephen Hawking and other famous science figures, including an Albert Einstein impersonator and everyone’s favorite theoretical physicist, Mike Tyson.

Chuck vs. Professional Baseball

Chuck has to go undercover on a baseball team to discover the identity of a Cuban double agent and attempt to apprehend him. But Chuck’s CIA connections can only get him so far, so guest star Pete Rose teaches him the ins and outs of cheating your way into a baseball clubhouse. You could have all sorts of sports stars making cameos, and draw in a whole new audience to the greatest show on television.

Those are just a few of my (in my opinion) awesome ideas for Chuck episodes. Have your own ideas about Chuck? Drop them in the comments. You never know–maybe the network will see them and invite you onto the writing staff. Hasn’t worked for me, but you never know.
