RIP, Daisies



ABC has announced that "Pushing Daisies" has been canceled. According to the show's creator, Brian Fuller, the show will most likely end after episode 13, which is a cliffhanger. Fantastic. I'm down to two shows that I watch these days, and they are "Lost" and "Daisies". I guess now I'm down to one. It seems that unless your show is predictable, cliché, or just downright bad, it can't make it on TV anymore.


Which brings to me an idea I have for a new reality show called "Last Ho Standing". You take twenty overweight prostitutes and stick them on a desert island, where they are forced to survive on a steady diet of plantains and coconut juice, while competing for weekly liposuction and botox contests and fending off the natives, who are dishing out free crack. Whoever wins gets a million dollars and a new, state-of-the-art brothel designed to their specifications by Ty Pennington and unveiled in a live televised ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Elliot Spitzer. God bless America. This show's gonna be huge.


But in all seriousness...a moment of silence for "Pushing Daisies".


(silence)




This was a creative, inspired, funny, and heartwarming show that I will miss very much. RIP.

but you're gonna have to add some eye candy to keep long term interest... barely covered porn stars to host the competitions or something.. just toss them in there randomly like the girls between rounds on pro wrestling, they don't have to have a reason to be there, just as long as they are shaped right.
