Subject: So, Pushing Daisies was cancelled

[copy-and-pasting what I wrote at Whedonesque]

My condolences to Pushing Daisies fans. It didn't really grab me. I loved, loved, loved Wonderfalls, and I was quite fond of Dead Like Me too. My problem with Bryan Fuller's shows is that they seem destined for short lives because the central idea doesn't really give the show anywhere to go. I mean Dead Like Me was fun, but the lead character and most of the supporting characters were all dead -- there's nowhere for them to go. I wasn't really surprised when it was cancelled, I was beginning to get bored and I liked it. I basically think of Wonderfalls as a mini-series. I thought it ended perfectly, and I'm not that upset that there isn't more of it. If it had continued I think it would ultimately have suffered from the same problems. I haven't really seen many episodes of Pushing Daisies, but doesn't it basically suffer from the same structural problems? In which case the network might have been right to say, "Well, this has been great for two seasons, but we think it's done now."

isn't there a bit of a problem when the two romantic leads can't ever even touch each other, at all?

I mean there was a good reason Angel had to leave. What was the point of a romance that actually couldn't be consummated?

That's what I meant about the show not really having anywhere to go. Although I admit I never really watched it properly.

cuz then there's always tension.

typically in shows...once the people hook up...well...you lose part of the hook.

I fucking give up, I really do, what the hell's the point of getting invested in any new show now?
