Watched some old episodes of Pushing Daisies tonight. It continues to amaze and infuriate me over how the American TV-watching audience shuns quality programming in favor of what they've seen a million times. Pushing Daisies was one of the most brilliant shows I've ever seen on TV. It was equally hailed by "critics," yet the average TV watching zombie didn't take the time to "get it," viewership quickly sank, and the network got nervous and killed it even before all their finished episodes had aired. They're finally showing the last 3 episodes this summer.... on Saturdays at 9pm. There is no worse air time. Insult to injury. The same thing is now happening to the new show, Kings, which is also fresh, interesting, and well made.... everything viewers fear. They'd rather have season 105 of Law & Order: Creative Intent or the inexplicably bad but intellectually unthreatening Knight Rider.
I deeply, deeply hate you people.
