  - [deleted] 1
    - The 150ish is dependent on votes now being thrown out by Ohio, etc. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 10:54
  - You're not including all the dead people we registered. -- nm - ACORN Oct 27, 10:50
if Pushing Daisies gets cancelled, I might give up TV for good. why wont you people watch this show?!?!?! -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 27, 10:43 33
- If that guy tweaked his eyebrow furrows any further they would end up as pretzels and the whole premise of the show would be thrown off. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 10:51
- Because it drives me nuts and the few good little bits are overwhelmed by the My Little Pony saccharine nature of the snow. - Trish Oct 27, 10:50 3
  - Don't worry. It'll be replaced by another crappy NCIS, Law & Order, or CSI. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:55 2
    - isnt that the sad truth. nm - Jovian Oct 27, 11:16
    - its ABC, so probably a makeover/wifeswap/nanny/dating reality show -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 27, 10:56
- Not only do I love it but there is the added bonus of it making Reagen's teeth hurt. -- nm - David Oct 27, 10:50 2
  - I gave it a whole season, dammit -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:54 1
    - So did I. Crash still likes it a lot, but he doesn't have a problem with ma ignoring its existence now. -- nm - Trish Oct 27, 11:02
- it makes my teeth hurt. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:49
- What difference would it make? Nothing I watch affects the ratings. -- nm - mara Oct 27, 10:48
- I watched 2 of them. But seriously--it's a pie shop, in the shape of a pie called the pie hole. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 10:48 10
  - no. its a childhood crush that comes back as a very unique adult romance -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 27, 10:51 9
    - But I don't like the characters, or the story, or the way the actors deliver their lines. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 10:55 5
      - It's a grown up fairy tale. - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:59 3
        
        There are plenty of fairy tales I don't like either. Like Jack and the Beanstalk. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 11:03
        
        Just like my classic, Lady in the Water! -- nm - M Night Oct 27, 11:00 1
        
        No, that's how NOT to do a grown up fairy tale. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:01
      - But you need to look past that to see the layers! -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 10:56
    - It's a cool private detective show made completely unwatchable by the sighing gee-willikers tone. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 10:54 2
      - i respectfully disagree. i think thats what makes it stand out -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 27, 11:01 1
        
        My distaste for it aside, I understand there are viewers who like it, and I don't wish it to be cancelled. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 11:03
- The fact that Daisies, Life, and (something else) on the verge of cancelation makes me sad. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:47 1
  - Life is really good, though. -- nm - Trish Oct 27, 10:52
- Because its not so good, you know? I generally like TV that's like a grownup talks to me. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 10:46 6
  - It is honestly a great show. It has layers that you need to delve into and work out. - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:48 5
    - yeah, and the snappy, witty dialogue is the best part of it. i don't get the "not grownup talk" complaint. - Die Incognito Oct 27, 10:50 4
      - Perhaps the show could plant its seed if I would just smoke way more weed. - TFox Oct 27, 10:53 3
        
        I'm 100% sober when I watch it and I love it. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:00 2
        
        How long must I post in rhyme and meter to get through to the Pie Hole Eaters?! -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 11:04 1
        
        they don't rhyme. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:06
- Because it is just awful. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 10:45 1
