One Last Episode from Pushing Daisies
Are you dreading this week, the week of Pushing Daisies’ last run?
With nothing happening from the latest strike negotiations that failed last week, I’ve been hearing people say that new shows like our favorite will be very sorely affected. The long absence and the sudden hiatus might just kill the momentum. But I don’t especially buy this. I’m on a different plain altogether because the longer I wait for new episodes to come, the more I anticipate it, hence the more the momentum is piling up.
In the meantime, I’ve been pushing the show to my friends and family. My 10 year old boy is already a big, big fan and I’ve got a couple of friends hooked on it, too. What’s my pitch? Other than telling them of the fantastic story and the adorable characters, I also say there are only 12 episode to follow; the series is short and sweet. I mean, I might as well dwell on the positive to this strike, if there is any. Not every one has a firm idea how the writers’ strike affects the shows we watch, all they care is if they will be able to finish it right away. So far, for every 5 people I recommended this show to, at least one would decline and say it’s too cutesy for their taste. My simple statistic isn’t so bad, though, that’s 4 converted viewers to one, meaning — more viewers who will anticipate its return.
And of course, sites like ours will hopefully help sustain the momentum.
Anyway, the episode from two weeks ago left a cliff-hanger of sorts, with Ned finally confessing to Chuck that he “inavertedly, accidentally” killed her father. Here’s the that scene to refresh your memory, before we’ll finally know Chuck’s reaction to this revelation this Wednesday:

I can’t believe there’s only one eppy left (for a while at least.) LOVED the last episode, and thought the way they just threw in Ned’s confession at the very last minute was brilliant! I’ve been on pins and needles ever since.

I am looking forward to it and really hoping that it is a good one to tide us over. The preview looks sort of sad, though, with Chuck disappearing after hearing the news. I hope it has a nice ending, so we have some happy memories to last during the strike!

I’ve yet to see this week’s preview…but yeah, hopefully it’s something that will tide us over the looooooooong hiatus.
