I’m getting more and more disappointed with ABC. They seem to have difficulty in figuring out which shows should stay and which ones should go. Pushing Daisies was great. It was fresh and new, not another tired “reality” tv show. Pulling some of the actors into Heroes won’t nearly make up for the serious lack of judgment. I’m seeing too many good shows get cancelled while the cheap reality tv shows saturate the networks. Just because a show isn’t a smash hit its first few shows doesn’t mean it will fail. The first season got interrupted by the writer’s strike. This year, they had to contend with election coverage in a historic year. Sorry, but while I’m glad the actress is working, I’d rather have her on Daisies. Congrats ABC … you canned a truly original show (something television often lacks) and replaced it with a cast off from NBC. Not that Scrubs isn’t a good show, but its had a good run. Daisies barely got its groove on.
according to IMDB “the name ‘Swoosie’ is derived from the airplane called the “Swoose” – half swan, half goose – which her father piloted in WW-II.” It could be worse, it could be Bronx Mowgli Wentz or Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa or Pilot Inspektor Lee.
Sorry, Michael, I usually agree with you, but there is no silver lining here. There is no way, shape, or form that Fuller joining “Heroes” and writing a role for Swoosie even slightly eases the pain of losing one of the best shows to ever grace our television screens. “Heroes” wasn’t even that great when it was at its height.
KAT – Well Said! I have been personally boycotting ABC because of the “Pushing Daisies” cancellation. The writing, sets and cinematography were gorgeous. The cast understood the wry sense of humor in each episode/storyline. I’m hoping that like “Monk” some other network picks it up.
I’m glad Ms. Kurtz and Mr. Fuller are working, but no amount of stunt casting is going to make me watch Heroes again. It’s way past the point of no return, if you ask me. Plus, I’m still sad about Daisies. Does anyone know what Lee Pace is doing next? (PS to Meli Parker: I’ll second your “Everybody loves pie!”)
I’m glad Bryan Fuller is doing something. I wouldn’t like it if he just sat around and sulked all day about Pushing Daisies. Sure it was a good show, but he seems to be a guy that knows when to move on. I find that rather admirable. It’s ABC that all the Pushing Daisies super fans should be mad at…lol.
Damn! Acting showdown! I’m actually excited about vol 4 – the older characters make the show worth watching!
Heroes is the greatest show on Television. While season 3 was lack-luster, to say the least, I am eager to see what Fuller brings back to the show in Vol. 4. Seasons 1 and 2 were so good (IMO) that season 3 was a huge disappointment. It proves this show needs Fuller. The addition of Swoozie Kurtz could open the door for an entirely different storyline…..more deceit than we ever knew about. I will say this about Season 3- while it didn’t really do much for the story, one thing it did do was secure Nathan Patrelli as the new enemy. He did a complete 180 last season, and I hope he dies in Vol. 4- can’t stand him now that he’s taking the opposite side. I guess my hatred for him is an indication that Season 3 was not a complete waste. I’ll be tuned in 2/2/09- let’s see where it ends up!
The fact that Daisies was canceled should prove that it wasn’t a good show. I only watched one episode, because I couldn’t stomache more than that. Good shows, like Heroes, stay on the air for season after season. If it’s canceled, it’s because the audience was too small, or the show just wasn’t good enough. I don’t care if they ever show the final 3 episodes of that show. Maybe if you protest the way Jericho fans did, you’ll get the conclusion you were hoping for. Someone mentioned pie- so, try sending the network 50,000 pies- worked for Jericho with peanuts.
If ABC doesn’t plan to air the final Pushing Daisies episodes (or DSM episodes, for that matter), they should put them on their website already.
There is no silver lining in PD being cancelled. I don’t give a rat’s a** about Heroes so this is like rubbing salt in the wound. I have a special place in my heart for the entire PD cast and wish them all well, but it’s still sad to see them moving on.
ABC, burn in hell.
Oh, but before you die, just hurry up and show the last 3 freakin episodes. How is it helping things by not showing them? Even you, abc, don’t make any money by NOT showing them.
Michael, make them show the episodes!!! haha..but you’re a man with lots of pull in the industry; march over there and help us out! please?
OK, so you think that because Bryan Fuller is going back to Heroes & Swoozie Kurtz is going to be in one epidsode, I will now start watching a show I didn’t watch in the first place? Uh, no thank you. I think that I know the name of ABC’s newest reality show that will be air at Pushing Daisies old time: You Can Pick your Friends, You Can Pick your Nose and you CAN Pick your Friend’s Nose. Wow, can’t wait!
Heroes is the most entertaining show on TV, even when it sucks. I have no doubt Fuller’s going to make it better.
Heroes is still better than most of the shows out there.
Can we all laugh at point about the statement that said canceled=not a good show?
HAHAHAHAHAH delusion HAHAHAHA
more heroes haters in the house. god i am so sick of hearing about pushing daisies, it was an amusing show but not worth all this sobbing, get over it people. seriously. the show was way too cutesy for its own good and heroes deserves the chance to get good again, I don’t care what any of you crybabies say, Heroes is a good show and has a chance to be redeemed. Although if they are going to add her as a cast member they should keep her for more than one episode. The main problem with the show is that they can’t make up their mind about Sylar whether he is a hero or a villain, its getting really annoying having him switch allegiance back and forth then killing kristen bell and adam, stupid. Daphne and Matt are probably the least interesting of all the characters but seriously all you Heroes haters go to hell and keep your crybabying to yourself.
