Television on dvd has undoubtably been the single greatest invention of the twenty first century thus far. To date we've been able to buck the cable companies and still enjoy a few of our favorite programs such as showtime's weeds and dexter as well as hbo's curb your enthusiasm, flight of the conchords and a&e's mad men. However, another show which has recently captivated us via dvd rental is the colorful, quirky self-proclaimed forensic fairytale, abc's pushing daisies. I'd heard things, but for whatever reason never gave it a chance during the cut-short first season. However, when season one released on dvd a few weeks back, miranda and i stepped into a magical world of dead people and pie and have found it impossible to look back.Here's a brief synopsis of pushing daisies' premise...
I keep hearing rumors that abc is going to cancel this enchanting, inventive program and my heart begins to cry little baby tears... much like when i first heard the rumors of arrested development's impending doom.
I know, i know, we never should have gotten ourselves so emotionally invested in another show whose future was already in dire straits, but it's too late to turn back now and we will not live in a state of regret. Instead, we shall rally the troops around the beloved patrons of the pie hole and fight the good fight!
Do yourself and the wonderful people behind pushing daisies a favor, rent season one on dvd, catch up with season two on abc.com, watch every wednesday night at eight o'clock pm on abc television and right your congressman demanding their support for the future of pushing daisies. You know what, let's stop waiting for our government to get off their hind quarters to move for us. We're for the people by the people! Let us get behind pushing daisies ourselves and start pushing back!
Things to do:
-save pushing daisies
-watch arrested development (single greatest comedy on television ever)
-rock out to dire straits
-enjoy some pie
-punch tv in the face
shine on.
