I'm kind of sad... one of my favorite TV shows, Pushing Daisies, appears to be in danger of getting canceled.
I suppose that I can't say I'm all that surprised. From the first episode, I thought that this show was so awesome, so quirky, that I predicted that it wouldn't last more than a few episodes before it got the axe. I felt the same way when I first saw the first episode of Arrested Development. Of course, somehow Arrested Development somehow was able to scrape by for a few glorious seasons. I kind of don't think that Pushing Daisies will make it that far though...
So help me out here... start watching Pushing Daisies!!! Thanks.
-UPDATE-
Shit... I guess I'm too late... I just read that ABC pulled the plug on it. That just sucks. I can only hope that they can make a movie of it. I'm not holding my breath. I'm super bummed. This is a show that just should have been on HBO, not ABC. It is too good. Too well written. Too sophisticated. DANG IT!
It was almost good. The Dr. Zeuss look and feel to everything, and the strong set dressing and narration that make it almost a fairy tale or fable really help. It's cute. It's fun. Without being entirely fluff. But the writing needs to be a bit tighter. Move the characters forward, without always resorting to the same cliches over and over again.

That's sad - I only caught one of these because I could never find it or find out what time it was on. My DVR couldn't even find it. The one episode we watched was really good. I think it's just poor publicity on the networks side.
