Another Bryan Fuller Show is (now literally) Pushing Daisies

Sometimes it's hard being a TV lover. A charming new show catches your eye. You start to fall for it and suddenly it changes time slots. So you swallow your pride and follow it like a lovesick schoolgirl. It goes on hiatus. So you wait. And wait. Finally it comes back and you think you'll be together forever when the network suits pull the rug right out from under you. Men!

Just like some good-for-nothing dog of a man that keeps knocking on your door at 2am, Bryan Fuller keeps coming back to break, my TV-lovin' heart. First, the creator/writer/producer's creative, quirky and dark Dead Like Me was canceled after only two seasons. Then his funny, quirky and romantic Wonderfalls is canceled after only 4 episodes on trigger-happy FOX. Most recently, the equally funny, quirky and romantic Pushing Daisies gets axed by ABC. What is it about network executives that they keep getting in the way of true love?

As you can tell, when I find a funny, quirky and romantic show, I fall hard. 

Fortunately for Wonderfalls, they knew the cancelation was on its way, so the producers had the opportunity to finish 13 episodes and wrap up the romantic story arc to a satisfying conclusion. If you haven't seen this show, the entire series is available on DVD. Meanwhile, poor Pushing Daisies was taken from us half way through its second season. We can only hope that Bryan can swing a Pushing Daisies movie, comic book or interpretive dance to wrap up the story and give us a little closure. Until then I'll just have to pour over the episodes like love letters in a shoebox.

Of course, like the TV doormat that I am, as soon as Bryan Fuller makes another funny, quirky and romantic show, I'll be there (fool that I am) to watch it.
