Will Pushing Daisies See a Ratings Bump?

As the only scripted show on network television at 8:00 tonight, Pushing Daisies is in a good situation.

A lot of us are suffering from election fatigue. And we might be looking for a lush urban fairytale to take our minds off it all, at least for one hour.

Or we may never have heard of the cute little tale of the baker who briefly reanimates corpses to solve their murders. But we may stumble across it and watch it instead of the Obama-athon. And we may like it. We many talk to our friends about it. We might even come back next week to watch it again.

I recommend this course of action wholeheartedly. Record the Obama show and watch it at 9:00, when Private Practice is on. But watch Pushing Daisies at 8:00. It’s a very fun show, and it could sure use the viewers.

Wednesday TV IS Pretty Darn Good

OK. Back in the glory days of Gilmore Girls, Tuesdays were my favorite night of television. GG was complete appointment TV. Wednesdays were a total wasteland, when I took a late yoga class and didn’t even have to worry about recording one show.

Now, Tuesday is dead to me, and Wednesday has just the right amount of shows on. I watched Pushing Daises, Friday Night Lights, and Dirty Sexy Money. (Well, most of Dirty Sexy Money–I got a little tired and had to go to bed before 11.) And I enjoyed them, for the most part. I’m not sure they are appointment TV as of yet, but Pushing Daises is well on its way.

Friday Night Lights was not a disappointment, either. It was a little like they erased 99% of last season, but other than that, I enjoyed the show. I will be glad to see Smash gone. He is an entitled little baby. I think he is an accurate portrayal of some young athletes, but the level of reality his character includes does not make me want him as a friend or screen entity.
