Wither, Chuck?
Chuck is a nickname for Charles. I bet you have a grandfather or know some old guy with that name.
But I doubt you know a kid in the first grade with that name. You see, Charles was once one of the top ten names for boys. But starting in the 1960s the name began to slip. It's not even in the top 50 anymore.
I bring this up, because I have deduced there is a secret cabal in Hollywood dedicated to killing the name completely.
In a few short weeks we've been subjected to:
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Good Luck Chuck
Chuck
In addition, two new series feature a Chuck: Pushing Daisies and Gossip Girl
I figure the cabal follows the orders of Charleton Heston.
PS: I am not the only one to notice this. Though the others didn't dare speak of the cabal.
