I met Mary Lynn once. Her late night talk show persona is a shtick.
Yeah, they had a “Green Week” last season where their shows all had some half-hearted enviromessage. On Chuck, the characters went to Stanford and there were booths set up for environmental issues. It was all background. The only real dialog addressing it was when a kid walked up to the character played by Adam Baldwin (a conservative actor) and tried to hand him some literature and he said, “Take a shower, hippie!”
Last night’s Chuck was more a mixed bag. The first reference to Obama. :-( But, I’m not so sure it was positive. Chuck’s CIA handler works at a frozen yogurt stand as her cover. She brought him a new flavor yesterday and said, “It’s called Obama Guava.” GROAN. But, she looked embarrassed and quickly added, “I didn’t come up with the name.” Later on, Chuck is looking for some information and says, “Why don’t we get it out of one of the agents we’ve captured?” Baldwin’s character says, “Since the new adminstration came in, we don’t waterboard any more. So, we no longer are able to get any intel out of captured agents.”
Oooh, on balance I’d say there’s a conservative mole on that show. :-)
Sorry for the off-topic detour.
Hey, I just referenced that episode without reading your discussion about it. Would you care to check my post #82 and see if you might agree with my take on it? I allow that I may be rationalizing because I don’t want to be alienated from Chuck in any way.
It was my only encounter with her, so that’s how I thought she was. Her listening to Rush—sounds like she’s more complex than the typical Hollywood actress. I can’t tell if she likes him or not, but most of the ones who hate him don’t even bother to tune in to find out why they do.
Mary Lynn’s comments on Rush from late 2006:
“”He said hello to everyone and kissed me full on the lips. I was like, ‘Oh, that was odd.’ Then the picture was on the Internet and people thought I was going out with him. He’s brilliant and hilarious, but I wouldn’t say I wanted to get it on with him!”

ooooh laaaa la! :) Thanks
good point.
Libs need to see this, they will identify with Jack, have an identity crisis and that will weaken them..Go chloe!
You think Chuck was bad? The series finale of Life on Mars had a NASA guy say to the astronauts on Mars, 30 years in the future “President Obama wanted to greet you, but her father is ill in Chicago and she had to be by his side.”
Totally disgusting and sycophantic. If they had said “President Willow Palin is with her mom and dad in Alaska,” can you imagine how much outrage that would have caused?!

Chloe looked like she wasn’t even buying what she was selling.
Pray for America and the Tea Parties
I just rewatched it and she made some funny faces at the end. I don’t think she was buying it either.
P.S. Carlos Bernard (Tony) is also doing one of the PSA’s. So basically it was the three fan favorites (Jack, Tony and Chloe) plus one new cast member (Cherry Jones).
And seriously, if Rush was correct that the actors that did the PSAs are the ones who believe in Global Warming, then Janeane Garofalo would have done one. And James Morrison (Bill) is a big liberal too.
Yeah, but Casey gets his 2 cents in for Reagan, too.
Question: How in the heck could Tony Amaida kill the FBI director? I am baffled. If he is a double agent, he had plenty of other chances to screw the US up. Any ideas?
Darn, next week I have a meeting and my mac doesn't offer the software to watch it on-line. HELP
“Tony twist was a good one. He could still be evil or it is some kind of sandbag”
Yes, I can’t figure it out. I wonder if it isn’t really Tony, but some kind of clone? Tony did get killed before.
He is the one who spotted the gas being filled into the missiles. If he is a bad guy, why wouldn’t he just walk away?
Rush tried to make excuses for some of them today, but my view is that as an individual, they could say they wouldn’t do it and if it cost them a contract with ‘24’ so be it. Jack(Keifer - who no doubt agrees with it anyway), for one (and a few others) could have put it to them like that and I doubt they would have fired them... if they wanted ‘24’ to continue. For Fox to do this is unconscionable.
I highly doubt that Rush could be ‘forced’ into that position for any reason.
I'll go along with that. Some people just don't interview well. But she can act. It just depends on the part.
So what I'm saying is, Mary Lynn could have been more dramatic in her PSA if she wanted to, but instead she just read the words in that monotone you described.
Yeah, I thought about that after I'd posted. ;o)
Thank you very much :)
I still think "that dunce Chloe" is coming from Rush not the e-mails.
I don't think he did :) I could be wrong, but it seemed like if Tony really wanted to kill Larry, he could have shot him, stabbed him, strangled him, etc. Or he could have had his friend with the shotgun, who already shot Larry once, finish the job. But Tony chose to smother him--and with one hand!
