Pushing Daisies Puts A Birdhouse In My Soul
Published October 26, 2007
Yesterday, you may recall, I was quick to be distressed by the Andi/Sam relationship on Reaper and the fact that it doesn't seem to progress week after week. Chuck and Ned have a similar problem on Pushing Daisies, but I really don't take issue with that. Why is that the case, I wonder. Neither pair will be consummating their relationship any time soon and both shows seem only too happy to keep dangling the relationship before the viewer. The tactic works for Pushing Daisies, but on Reaper it is just annoying. I think the main difference is that the Andi/Sam relationship doesn't progress because they just don't talk to each other whereas the Ned/Chuck one doesn't progress because if it did Chuck would fall down dead on the floor. It's the difference between "will not" and "cannot." It is also the difference between clever and stale. The relationship can't progress on Pushing Daisies for a reason that I don't think I've ever seen before, it can't progress on Reaper because of a reason that I see (and don't accept) on show after show after show.
The biggest question I have is will JD and Elliott get together on the final season of Scrubs? It starts tonight people, and boy am I excited about it. I know I've told you about these sorts of things before, but NBC is doing an online chat tonight with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence. Apparently, they're not quite sure how to end the series and want input. Have at it folks - the show actually wants to know what the fans want. I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but they don't ask for my opinion. Well, they did ask for my opinion, but not my opinion on whether they should take someone else's opinion.
