The Facts (*choke*) Are These: ABC Gives The Producers Of PUSHING DAISIES, ELI STONE & DIRTY SEXY The Bad News ... -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

WHAT!?!?!?! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! This is my FAVORITE new show! Goddammit, I'm a sad panda now!

It was inevitable.

They need to make room on their lineup for another recap of Dancing with the Stars.

Black Belt Tazy · 11-21-2008, 10:24 AM

George of the Jungle needs another hour for itself.

The first season was great. The second season was awful.

'Twas the writers' strike that killed the beast.

Second season isn't awful, seeing as we're only 5 episodes in.

Because they have to hang on to crap shows like Grey's Anatomy. Hell, I'll say it - Pushing Daisies is even better than Lost.

is not

Also, I want to see how Scrubs Season 8 will turn out. So don't **** it up, ABC.

Laika Come Home · 11-21-2008, 08:33 PM

ABC is definitely going to handle Scrubs with care, considering they produce it and helped save it from cancellation.

That's entirely untrue. Yes, it is certainly more artsy and aesthetically pleasing than Lost (or any other show I can think of, for that matter), but the writing/plotlines weren't nearly as elaborate (in the sense of keeping it novel for a long period of time) as Lost's is, and at the end of the day a show like that isn't going to appeal to a wide audience. Fair? Probably not, but that's how business works - if it's not gonna make money for you, it's not worth it.

ZeldaGirl · 11-22-2008, 05:37 PM

^The only real "novelty" about Lost is it's ability to make **** up on the spot. The first season was awesome, as was the most recent, but those in the middle were not the greatest, as sometimes, I think the writers go for the shock value over the actual, interesting story telling. It's only just coming around again, whereas Pushing Daisies is more than just "guy brings people back to life" - it's characters are actually engaging (as in they don't annoy the hell out of me...hello, Kate), and for a show that most consider to just be "cutesy", it has it's fair share of twists and turns.

EDIT: It's not that I don't love Lost - I do - but I enjoy watching Pushing Daisies more.
