Pushing Daisies: Olive sings Eternal Flame

The following scene brought tears to my eyes. And it can be because of three things:

1) my hormones are acting up.

2) Kristin Chenoweth sang this so well, it really moved me, or...

3) it reminded me of what I'm absolutely gonna miss about this show.



It all ends in four more episodes.

*sigh*

Canceled: Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money

This news doesn't hit me like Friends going off air hit me. But still, I'm mourning for three shows today.

The fact hit me just now.

Seriously --- my eyes, in tears.

How ugly is this season?! Bleeeeeeeech. :P

ABC has canceled Pushing Daisies, executive producer Bryan Fuller confirms to me exclusively.

According to our inside sources, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money have also been canceled. Reps for both shows have declined to comment.

Is the pie-maker dead? Will we ever see him again? Read on for the exclusive inside dish straight from the top...

Bryan Fuller tells me, "[ABC president] Steve McPherson called me, and said 'We gave it the best shot we could.' "

According to Fuller, the facts are these: "It's very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger. But we are talking to DC Comics about doing comic books that will wrap up our storylines, and I already have a pitch for a movie ready to go.

"To be honest, I'm really not feeling very boo hoo about it. I am so proud of the show. We put together 22 really good episodes, and there is a lot to be proud of. I'm sure I'll be working with a lot of these people again, and I would love to do so." - WWK

Watch Pushing Daisies!

For the love of great TV, please watch Pushing Daisies tonight! It doesn't deserve to leave the air yet. The story telling isn't over. The show is marvelously the most entertaining show on TV right now, why would anyone pick Knight Rider over this, I cannot understand. It has mystery, laughter, heart, music and colors. And tonight's episode has more Chenoweth than ever!

“Bad Habits”- Chuck, Emerson and Ned go undercover as a Catholic nun and priests and pass themselves off as investigators from the Vatican to help Olive prove that her best pal at the nunnery (Mo Collins as Sister Larue) didn’t kill herself, but was actually murdered, on “Pushing Daisies,” WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Wednesday Wonders

Alright, series premieres are halfway done. I'm supposed to trickle down my list and weed out the shows I will no longer be watching; because if I keep on watching even the crappy ones, then what does that make me? A loser with no social life and a TV for brain! So yeah, weeding out...weeding out...weeding out...

My own personal first casualty of the season is actually part of this, the Wednesday block. Guess what it is? It's Knight Rider! Yep, after three episodes I am deciding to give up on it now. I am aware there are others who've stopped watching the program long before I did. I stuck around for three episodes hoping it will improve. This week, Kitt became a submarine! And while that was cool...and kinda odd...the whole show was completely boring! The actors? Cardboard flat! So, goodbye Knight Rider. I will miss the opening credits but I can always watch that on Youtube. This show is now off my list.

I'm still undecided on Gary Unmarried. Last week's episode made me rethink about my first impression (where I actually thought it was good). But then, just as I was so sure I'd swear this program off this week, the episode they had was....again, actually good. So, I'm sticking with the unmarried guy for now. It's a yo-yo situation.

Private Practice is beginning to win back my love. It is slowly connecting to me again and it's been great. This week, they had a similar case with House ---- a brother and sister falling in love with each other, not realizing they were blood related. Also, this week, Cooper just got cuter! Heh.

Lipstick Jungle was very interesting. There's a new boss in town and he fired Wendy! Not the least bit interested with Victory's new love conquest yet. But I cannot wait to see what her new shop would look like. Nico played a bit of office politics and I think she's officially my favorite among the three.

I've got my Pushing Daisies recap in another site, the link should come up later.

Because of time constraints, I've yet to watch this week's Dirty Sexy Money.

Pushing Daisies S2 E1 Bzzzzzzzzz!

Looove Pushing Daisies!

I seldom post any Pushing Daisies TV item here because everything about it is covered on my other blog. But I couldn't help posting this entry now... the new promo photos for season 2 are gorgeous!

I.Love.It!


The show also has a "starter kit" from ABC. It's those 5 minute season recaps I posted earlier today for Eli Stone , Samantha Who and Private Practice. This is for Pushing Daisies:

Comic Con Crazy

Over the weekend, a major event took place at San Diego --- the annual Comic-Con where fans had the chance to join panel discussions with several TV and movie people. And this is why over the weekend, TV news was kinda slow because most TV press people were covering that event.

If Comic-Con is your thing, you can read all about it here or watch videos here.

Comic-Con: commonly known as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, is an annual multigenre fan convention founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention and later the San Diego Comic Book Convention in 1970 by Shel Dorf and a group of San Diegans. It is traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday—though a four hour preview night on Wednesday is open to guests pre-registered for all four days) held during the summer in San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center. Comic-Con is both the name of the annual event and the common name of the organization.

Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television (as was evident by the three circled figures appearing in Comic-Con's original logo), and related popular arts, the convention has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, anime, manga, animation, toys, collectible card games, video games and webcomics.

Pushing Daisies Season 2 Spoilers

Pamparampampam! Pushing Daisies spoilers!

It's just June, I know it's too early to get excited about the show's return. Although I'm sure you'll find this news (spoiler) intriguing --- Olive goes to the nunnery because of the secret she bears! What does that mean?

This?

Or this?

Whohooa! There'd better be some singing!

To read Season 2's first and second episode synopsis, head to the Pushing Daisies site I take care of. It's all there, including the promo clip for the second season.

Grey's Anatomy and more shows back in production, soon!

There it is, I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel!

Production of ABC shows like Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, and Desperate Housewives, will very soon be rolling after the strike is lifted (strike talks almost nearing its end). The target date for people to return to work is early March and shows are expected to complete and air at least five episodes until May.

Freshmen favorites Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Samantha Who? will also be back in production. But they will be doing episodes for Season 2 and not the remainder of the season (so yes, their first season run is done).

Expect a similar pattern to play out at CBS, NBC and Fox: Established shows returning in the spring; newer ones held till fall. | Ausiello
