Pushing Pushing Daisies - Page 2

Pushing Daisies is one of those shows that has it all – love; mystery; great acting; compelling single- and multi-episode story arcs; an incredibly unique, hyper-stylized worldview; a devoted fan base; and virtually no one watching.  To take the pessimistic viewpoint – a viewpoint I don't often subscribe to in regards to television –  it seems that early cancellation was an inevitability for such a show.

I don't tell you all this in order to make you feel bad for destroying that which is good on television due to your willful neglect.  I don’t tell you this because I believe that somehow my statements will make you watch the show.  I am merely stating that which I know to be true about a subject, in general, and a show, in specific, which I understand critically and quite enjoy.

I don't expect you at this point in time to suddenly find Pushing Daisies on ABC's schedule and realize everything that you have been missing (which is a lot).  I just want you to understand that by skipping the show, by not watching it and thereby helping to end it, you just provide more ammunition to the folks that say that television is vast wasteland.
