I know, dear, sweet Kristin Chenoweth, it's hard to believe that we will soon be deprived of the fabulosity of you and your wonderful fellow cast members on "Pushing Daisies."Why? Why is it that ratings for crappy television are through the roof, but a unique, brilliant show like "Pushing Daisies" gets cancelled? It's one of my favorites, and there isn't anything like it. It's a murder mystery and a comedy. It's poignant, funny, romantic and dramatic. The cast is so talented, the sets are beautifully done, and even the camera work, editing and directing can't be matched. And the show's writers have to be among the most clever anywhere on television.
On top of all that, "Daisies" is one of the most family-friendly shows out there right now. If you're a parent and you're worried about sex and violence and old-fashioned family values--your kid should be watching "Pushing Daisies!"
Here's a very brief essay on what makes the show stand out from the TV crowd.
There are a few episodes left that were already shot, but then the show will pass on. Meanwhile, we are inundated with highly popular drivel like copycat cop and courtroom dramas, sex-obsessed doctors and reality show whores who will go to any length and sacrifice every shred of dignity they or their family have to win a buck.I'd have more in common living with wolves! That's ok. The folks who worked on this show made me laugh and cry and dazzled me with their creativity. If you're going to watch TV, what more could you ask for?
