Pushing Daisies is cancelled...
- Thread starter Aiden Rebirth
- Start date
it really saddens me but can't say I did not see it coming it seems as though Bryan Fuller will never catch a break he makes something awesome it does not last more then two seasons
That's a real shame. It was sometimes too cute for its own good, but overall well done and creative. They seemed to do better in the second season about creating greater story arcs to encourage return viewers, but by that time I guess it was already too late. Brian Fuller sure knows how to create short-lived shows.
How dare they! Further proof of the James Hellar theory.
Everything I touch, one way or another, ends up dead!
It's not fair damnit!

The advertisements alone made me roll my eyes. I have no idea what it was about, but regardless it always looked like it was trying way, way, way too hard to attract attention.
It's sad that Chi McBride can't keep a show, though. Like I said, I didn't watch this one, but he's a good actor and I hope he eventually gets it to work out.
...Of course, I'm responsible for it not working out, because I didn't watch his show. So I'm full of crap.
All I have to say is, BRING BACK DESMOND PFEIFFER!
That show was funny for every wrong reason there is. How I miss it so.

It was wonderful.
The four main characters:
The busty blonde,
the forlorn P.I. who yearns for his lost child
The love intrest having died long ago
And a quiet man with the ability to manipulate death.
...And instead of going all film-Noir or Sin-Sity about it, they go happy-merry-sunshine about the whole thing, and pull it off without being utterly disturbing.
I mean, really. Only this show could shoot down, "So is this what it is or is that really a rolling pin under your apron?" by actually having him pull an apron out from under his apron.
It can get away with so much mistreatment and humiliation of dead things with such a lighthearted attitude.
Sometimes I like to think about myself like that: Merry Sunshine wrapped up in black leather and a mild loathing of most of Humanity.
My point is: Don't insult it if you never watched it, and if you do and it doesn't appeal to you, at least recognise that it was one of the most unusual shows America has produced in a long time.
Also, I have to say this for any other fans of cheerfully morbid shows:
Dead Like Me is coming back! Direct-to-DVD for now (scheduled for Febuary), but what I've read is that it is a series of movies, and possibly a new season.

Very sad indeed. Hardly like anything else on television, you were either a fan or you hated it. Rumour is that the writer's strike did the damage, and the network pulled the plug because they don't actually own the show and don't have as much reason to keep it around as some of the other shows.
Anyway, sad to lose my entertainment on Thursday.

They showed a few episodes here on good ol' Blighty. I wasn't a fan but it was O.K. I wont miss it, there are better shows on each Friday.
