Pushing up the daisies.


I have the title lowercased and reworded on purpose, it is not a typo. It's a play on the fact that the wonderful, whimsical television show was cancelled far too early into its run. Perhaps the writers' strike was to blame. After all, it cut the first season in half and put the show on hiatus for months. Then the second season was cancelled halfway through, despite decent ratings. Why is it that good, unique shows like this get cancelled so early, but every time a medical drama/cop show comes around, everyone watches it like it's the new best thing? Aren't there a million and a half of those? Not to mention prime-time soap operas like Gossip Girls and 90210 are dumber than the remote people use to turn them on. If only more clever things stuck around, I wouldn't be so bitter.
