Everybody else is a recognizable face. Kristin Chenoweth comes from The West Wing to a show which surely reminds her of theatrical roots. she even gets a chance to show off some potent singing chops every so often. Find her next in Glee when she stops by for a guest star appearance.
Chi McBride, from Boston Public fame, is strong as the crusty Cod. He would love to have nothing to do with Ned's skills, but he also has to make a living somehow. His next project? The Human Target, which stars Mark Valley of Fringe and Boston Legal, among other things. Also in the cast is Jackie Earle Haley. This is going to be one to watch! It's a midseason replacement, so 2010 becomes the airdate.
Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene play Lily and Vivian, the aunts of Chuck, who hide some of the biggest secrets of all. While I have yet to hear anything about what they will do next, no doubt they will move on to something else relatively quickly. Actors tend to, it's the nature of the profession.
ABC has a habit of cancelling popular shows among viewers. One would think these shows might entice a look see at other programs within the same network. This being said, fans will soon see a comic book version in twelve episodic mysteries. Whether or not these continue where the television show left off remains to be seen. There is plenty for storyline consideration.
For example, Chuck is now reunited with her aunts. Now, how is she going to explain being alive when they have thought her dead for so long? The trick would be not mentioning Ned's touch. Emerson Cod finds his daughter, but the relationship could be in for a bumpy ride. Olive has her own shop, The Intrepid Cow. Any mystery would feel right at home.
The ABC website has episodes for online viewing pleasure. Enjoy the show!

What the HECK is wrong with ABC?! this is the best show in years and they cancel it after only two seasons?! Well, at least there's the comic book.
