Chuck

I’ve talked about my favorite show Chuck numerous times on my blog. You can read more about it here. If you haven’t taken some time to watch you should, because it is a really great show. However between season 2 and 3 there was worry we would not have a show renewal. Then fans banned together to create the Subway movement.

It worked like this: Watch Chuck, Eat At Subway, Purchase a $5 Foot long on a special day, Save Chuck. And it worked.

Fans hit the show where they knew it would cause the most impact. Their wallets aka Advertising. Instead of sending peanuts or pencils to the poor guy in the mailing room fans targeted a prominent advertiser. Subway appreciated the attention and helped save our show. Now you can see a Subway sandwich or restaurant in nearly every episode.

So as we move on to Season 4 we are once again playing the waiting game. Will Chuck or won’t Chuck be renewed for another season. The answer may be hidden in the words of show star Adam Baldwin who plays Colonel John Casey.

On April 10th Adam co-hosted the Stage Right show with Larry O’Connor where Baldwin is a regular listener and even chat room visitor. The following conversation took place amongst the hosts:

Baldwin(after commenting about hitting the gym): The goal is to get my shirt off in the next season.

O’Connor: Really, wait a minute next season now what do you mean by that, do you have an official announcement you’d like to make?

Baldwin: Thats not my place I’d never make an official announcement, I’m cautiously optimistic that Chuck will continue on it’s roll, so I’ll just leave it at that.

A few minutes later the following dialogue occured:

O’Connor: I understand you didn’t make an official announcement but to me it sounded like you had an unofficial announcement.

Baldwin: We will certainly know within the next couple of weeks. They have to make an official announcement at the upfronts but word tends to trickle down to the people involved sooner rather than later.

I don’t know about anyone else but these comments leaves me hopeful that I’ll be allowed to enjoy the unraveling of Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker’s intimate relationship in Season 4. This makes me really happy. With all the reality shows and hard core police dramas it’s nice to be able to sit back and enjoy a “dramatic romantic comedy” and Chuck has all three.

Obviously we’ll need to wait until May 17th, the Upfront date for NBC in New York City. Upfronts were created so that networks could tell the media, sales and advertising companies about their new seasons schedules.

Until then I’ll continue watching Chuck until the season finale, hoping it isn’t the series finale, with my fingers crossed because we simply won’t know until then.

It is hard to put into words exactly how I’m feeling right now. You know that song, “It’s like I’ve waited my whole life, for this one night…” well that’s kinda how I feel but with a touch of nausea. Usually I don’t get nervous, I even talked about my lack of nervousness on my show last week. I said that I’m too naive to get nerves. I walk into every situation like I’m going to be your best friend and I’m not nervous around my friends. However Adam Baldwin makes me nervous. I guess somehow I know I’ll never be cool enough to be Adam Baldwin’s best friend.

No matter how I’m feeling though, tonight at 9PM EST I will be interviewing one of my all time favorite actors live on my web show. I’m really hoping you’ll join us. A lot of you left some really great fan questions for Adam and a handful have been chosen.

Also, you’ll have 4 chances to win autographed merchandise!

1 Mass Effect 2 game for Xbox

1 Mass Effect 2 game for PC

1 Chuck comic book

1. Season 2 DVD set

That is some pretty great stuff in my opinion. I’ll take this chance to once again complain that I am jealous of whoever wins these prizes. I will apparently have to travel the globe to find Adam at a convention and pay him $35 for his autograph. Not fair.

I want to take a moment to thank my sponsors for the show and get their names out. They are as follows:

Safetytat.com

Customhotel.com

Dressbarn.com

Eagames.com

BlogDesignsBySusan.com

All five of these companies make it possible for me to do what I do each and every week. Every day actually. So please check them out! And don’t forget to check us out tonight at 9PM EST by clicking HERE. Take note, the show is an hour earlier than usual!!!

So as you have all heard, unless you were living under a rock, I’ll be interviewing the accomplished celebrity Adam Baldwin on my web show this Thursday night at 9PM EST. Other than being insanely lucky for being given this chance of a lifetime (I’ve told you all how much I love Adam Baldwin right?) I have run into good luck in other areas as well.

1. EA Games has been gracious enough to send a copy of Mass Effect 2 for XBox and one for PC for Baldwin to autograph and give to lucky winners.

2. Adam himself has graciously autographed a copy of a Chuck comic book and also a copy of the Season 2 DVDs to give out to lucky winners.

3. Stickam.com has deemed us important enough to be given the featured spot on their website. This means our interview will be aired on the front page of Stickam.com and they will also be promoting the show with banners leading up to the broadcast.

4. All the fans have been wonderful with sending in their questions. However I could use more. Please get creative and submit a question so that I have a myriad of topics to go cover with him.

I hope everyone tunes in on Thursday night, 9PM EST at http://mysentimentexactlee.com/web-show/ I am so jealous of everyone eligible for these prizes. I’m not eligible so I guess I’ll have to wait until someone else has an interview or I can get myself out to convention and meet Adam in person! ;)

I’ve included the worst movie trailer ever made to refresh your memory on where exactly Adam Baldwin got his start. My Bodyguard, made in 1980, the year I was born. I remember this movie like it was yesterday.

*Contest open everyone 18+ however shipping is the winners responsibility. I’m a stay at home mom alright people. ;)

Web Show Interview With Adam Baldwin!

by Lee on February 4, 2010

Attention all Adam Baldwin fans!

Whether you have been following him since he played Linderman in My Bodyguard, or donning your browncoat at every Sci-fi convention around the world, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Maybe you have no idea who Adam Baldwin is, but have been reading a lot about him here on MySentimentExactLee and are intrigued (you know I have great taste). Well, wonder no more!

Adam Baldwin, co-star of NBC’s Chuck will be providing the readers of MySentimentExactLee a web show interview where you will have the opportunity to submit your own questions!

Mr. Baldwin is well known for many of the roles he has played on TV and in movies including:

Linderman in My Bodyguard

Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket

Knowle Rohrer in X-Files

Jayne Cobb in Firefly

John Casey in Chuck

Adam is also an avid political blogger, contributing his opinions to http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/author/abaldwin/, and in his spare time he seems to enjoy political debate on Twitter.com under his handle @adamsbaldwin.

Baldwin has generously offered his time to discuss issues like making informed decisions on vaccinating your children, Hollywood Parenting, http://www.ride2recovery.com/ (one if his favorite charities) and just about anything you’d like to ask him. He can’t give us any spoilers about Chuck so don’t ask, besides, all you’d get out of him is a grunt. Of course he’ll be happy to answer questions about past shows he has worked on. I’m steering clear of too many deep political questions because we have limited time and Adam really likes to prove his point, but I may let a few through.

The tentative time for this interview is February 18th at 9:00 PM EST but will be confirmed closer to the date, as Adam’s shooting schedule is not set that far in advance. But I can tell you this, he is very excited to participate.

Please, leave your questions for Adam Baldwin below and we’ll be choosing the best for the webshow.  Keep coming back to see what others have asked and help give a push to the topics that interest you most.  So you don’t loose track of this thread remember to bookmark http://mysentimentexactlee.com/2010/01/web-show-interview-with-adam-baldwin/ so it will be easily found if it gets bumped by other news & reviews over the next month.
Thanks goes out to everyone who helped wrangle Adam with me! Looks like it worked out in our favor.

I just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I’m lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.
Adam Baldwin

MySentimentExactLee

PS: Did I mention he will be giving away some autographed memorabilia from Chuck. That is unless I just keep it for myself. Don’t know how he’ll feel about that though. ;)
