Agreed. Shame its been cancelled.Why cancel a good series? stupid people.
accidental genius!
The writers strike mucked everything up - series which may have got momentum for a second series (like Daisies) where shown in two halves so didn't get the viewing figures. It also explains series two of Heroes being quite poor and whichever Desperate Housewives series. My own personal lament was the demise of the bionic woman (no Buffy, no Charmed, no kick-ass girls).

You've got to be kidding!!! I struggled though the first 15 minutes or so of the first episode, thought "what a load of crap", and turned over to watch something else, never to return to it.Pushing up Daisies is a great series

Oh I'm so sorry - bloody good book though and you wouldn't recognise Gregory Peck in the film, he's so menacing!There goes another of life's illusions, shattered beyond repair. You mean to say that Ira Levin wasn't a famous historian

OK, since you apologise so nicely...Indeed it is, I've got the book here, and the film was shown again fairly recently on one of the movie channels, can't think which. No doubt it'll resurface yet again before too much longer.

Pushing up Daisies appeals to a small proportion of people all of whom must be quite weird.
either do it or don't. But I got places to be
Hey I know this is waaay waaaybut, "quite wierd"? Why is that exactly? Most TV programmes are rubbish, Pushing Daisies was at least something different, quirky, great cast, and funny. I think given the chance it could have gained more commercial success, but instead it'll be replaced by Generic Cop Show #9 or CSI: DisneyWorld or some other such crap.:Mad:

You cannot deny, Pushing up Daisies was a weird show and thus the people who watch it must have an element of weirdness.Hey I know this is waaay waaay
However, I do agree with you that it was probably replaced by some crap.

Just read this thread in its new home (Boo! Albion, moving stuff about) and I thought just for clarity I should say that this programme is called Pushing Daisies.
Not 'up'.
There is no 'up' in the title.
Hope that clears that one __
