PD Writers Also Moving On To Other Projects
Monday, January 5th, 2009
I am not quite sure when the airing is of the remaining last three episodes of Pushing Daisies. The mid-season calendar is about to begin this week. The time slots for Wednesdays has changed. I am not aware of any promo for when our program favorite returns (have you seen any?).
It seems, everyone is really moving on. Aside from Bryan Fuller going back to Heroes this year, Kristin Chenoweth doing a new show with David E. Kelley, and Anna Friel doing her movies, there are two other people in the Daisies family with new projects to keep them busy now that PD is done. Writers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, who have also worked on Wonderfalls (one of Bryan Fuller’s shows) have been asked to work on a new program called Bitches. It is scheduled to run on Fox. The show is described as a Sex and The City type of a series…yup, with four female leads. Only the women are actual werewolves. It is also described as “a quirky urban fairy tale.” Frankly, the idea of Bitches to me sounds…ludicrous. I am not quite optimistic about it, but then again, with today’s changing preference in the TV landscape, who knows how this one turns out.
Bitches is from feature writer Michael Dougherty who said that the idea for the show began several years ago. He says to shocktillyoudrop.com, “I want to continue the tongue-in-cheek feel. If you’re a werewolf, it should just be another aspect of yourself you’re trying to deal with. You do want to explore those parallels of being a werewolf and human sexuality. How can you date and fall in love with someone when you’re a werewolf and you start to turn when you’re aroused?”
