Pushing Daisies is Pushig Daisies

It was just confirmed to me by Brian, after getting on him to watch Pushing Daisies tonight and prepping a blog to tell you all the same in order to save the show, that one of the best shows currently on television has been axed by ABC. So sad and so true. It has gone the way of programs like Arrested Development, highly inventive but little watched. This saddens me to no end. Love is dead.


Not without my monkey!!

Bryan Fuller, the show's creator and producer, has said that he's been planning on doing a series of comics based on the show to tie up some lose ends and may possibly do a movie. Whatever. We've heard that before. However, he is one of the originals who helmed the first season of Heroes, so there may be a little proof swirled into his pudding.


Meh.

Speaking of which, with Pushing Daisies having shot their final episode (I'm about to cry), there's a good chance that Fuller might be back on board with Heroes, a show that has been slumping storyline-wise in a major way. Thankfully, Tim Kring, that show's creator and head writer, put down the word processor for this past Monday's episode and let comic (sometimes) great Jeff Loeb knock out a pretty excellent story, ending Volume 3 of Heroes, Villains, and opening it up for February's Volume 4, Fugitives. It's tough to tell based on one episode, but the shit seems to be getting good again. I hope.


Welcome back, Micah, you creepy little bastard.

Here's to you Pushing Daisies. I loved you when you were here and I'll miss you when you're gone. Man, this is turning out to be a really crappy week.
