“Maybe there’s another network you can find it on.” Here’s that exchange, between Mike, Nancy and security expert Chuck Larabee (Jonathan Adams):

Well, it’s because the truck was no longer on the network. The finale contains plenty of winks at the camera regarding the ending of the show - including an exchange where Mike wonders why the security features on his truck didn’t alarm. They just put it in a van and carry it off wherever it goes.” “All of a sudden, you look around, Ed’s office is gone because ‘they’ve got to do it’ at 6:00 in the afternoon. She winds up having this reaction to that as Mike has peace with it, because of how much it meant to her as well.”Īllen said he found it difficult to shoot those final scenes even as other parts of the set were being torn down. And while you watch Mike thinking he’s going to fall apart once this word comes through, it’s actually kind of interesting that Vanessa does. It’s been disassembled, chop shop, it doesn’t exist and then they have to go through the process of what that means.

But then the word comes through it’s gone. “At first it’s like we got to get it back. “It was perfect and there was nothing left for him to do, and then at that point somebody takes it,” Berry said. On the show, the truck is stolen right after Mike manages to get the original bill of sale, which was the last thing to make his restoration of the vehicle - which had been a presence on the show from the very beginning - complete. “I loved it, because it allowed us to tell a story that we would just tell but still leave room for the characters to be able to comment on the show closing, so that it wouldn’t be too sad,” Abbott said. But then Berry came up with the idea for the truck, and using it as a metaphor for the show. But each time they started to write those stories, it wound up feeling too sad.
