Guys: You gotta cast Kate Jackson as Chuck’s mom.

Not only would she be consistent with your casting of TV greats who came to prominence in the 70s and 80s…not only is she the smartest Angel…but the inevitable episode in which Captain Awesome’s father–Bruce Boxleitner–finally meets his son’s mother-in-law, will be embraced by everyone who has fond memories of “The Scarecrow and Mrs. King” as the “Chuck” of the 1980s.

The symbiotic relationship between Chuckies (my name for fans) and the omnipresent sandwich vendor gave us a third season and may well have contributed to the fourth, so fine.

And when I say “other hand,” I mean that it doesn’t get coverage in multiple news outlets or its own Jimmy Kimmel special. But the bottom line is that I care far more about what happens to Chuck as an individual than I do about the entirety of the castaways (except maybe Jin and Sun)
