holdover

“The Life of Chuck” feels like a holdover from this era of feel-good fare, reworked and retrofitted to align with our contemporary anxieties.

"I think there's a holdover from the boomer generation here in America that lived through the Cold War," Buck says, "and I don't quite grasp why - but they say Russia's bad."

Still, there are holdovers from the previous era of TV dominance in the comedy world who didn’t make it on the Apollo Theater’s stage or appear at all.

Within the first three episodes, which premiere in a single drop, the holdovers from Charlie’s old life resolve, and her story becomes as open as the country is wide.

Food and drink prices are happily stuck in the 1970s — $1.50 for a pimento cheese sandwich — a charming holdover from yesteryear.
