I know what you're thinking. Joss Whedon already did that with Firefly. But you see, Firefly was quite different than the western Chuck producer Scott Rosenbaum is developing. See, Firefly was a space-based science fiction with western elements. This project is a western with sci-fi elements.I know what you're thinking. Michael Garrison already did that with The Wild Wild West. But you see-- I'm not going to do all that again. Actually, the description leaves things a little vague, so I've taken the liberty of filling in the blanks with only my sleep-deprived mind and a healthy dosage of Diet Dr. Pepper to guide me.
Rosenbaum's official descriptions include "a gunslinger caught between worlds" and a nod to Planet of the Apes. Post-apocalyptic? They're adapting Stephen Kings' The Dark Tower?! Hardly. I do suspect a future time when we've reverted back to the trappings of the Old West. Either that, or a parallel world. I don't really care, I've been itching for a good western since Deadwood had to go.

weird west was an established genre long before King, he simply one of the best to use it. I'm looking forward to this I need some updated westerns or maybe even steampunk.

Doing something like that is just asking for comparisons to Firefly, and while Chuck is great, I don't think Rosenbaum is capable of living up to Firefly. (And no I'm not a Whedon fanatic, I hate Buffy, will watch Angel if there's nothing else to do, and think Dollhouse was worse than T:TSCC.)
