Pushing Daisies, which is my favorite new show in a season of television that is drowning in new shows, will be canceled because it's just too good to be on television.

It's clever. It's well written. It's absolutely charming in a very bizarre way.

Sadly, it's on ABC. (I still haven't forgiven them for canceling Sports Night.)

Luckily, it's not on Fox. (I still haven't forgiven them for canceling Wonderfalls and Firefly.)

If you check IMDB, the plot keywords are Supernatural/Diner/Resurrection/Murder/Baker. Honestly, what more could you want from a show?

Still, I don't think people will get it. There's no chance that the unrequited love issue can be resolved. My heart was broken after just one episode when I realized that Ned and Chuck could never be together. Then again, it begs the question, can you sustain a love affair with someone you can't touch but who you see incessantly? And don't shows usually go to hell after the leads give in to their mutual attraction. (Remember how bad Moonlighting got?)

Bryan Fuller seems mildly obsessed with baked goods and monkeys.

This show doesn't stand a chance.

Sorry for the disjointed rant. It's been a rough day. Remember: bilge belongs in bilge.
