Did anyone see the first of the last 3 episodes of Pushing Daises Saturday night?

It was wonderful. It's pathetic that a show that clever and well-done can't make it anymore.

For the few of us who flat out refuse to watch "reality" tv, finding the good stuff is getting harder and harder.

1. It was great...

Downloaded the HD version from iTunes. Loved it.

2. I loved it too. I'm really going to miss that show.

[Me.]

3. Love The Show

Am looking forward to the movie that's supposed to be in the works

4. Me too

Although if its anything like Brian Fuller's other show that got canceled and wrapped up with a movie, Dead Like Me, it could be a little disappointing.

5. What were the ratings like the past year? Shows that get good ratings aren't usually cancelled

or unrenewed. Although "Without a Trace" wasn't renewed, and it got good ratings. Instead, CBS will be shoving "NCIS: Los Angeles" down our throats.

6. The Problem Was

it was hugely expensive to produce.

7. Yeah, that seems to be a large issue with many of the one-hour shows.

A reality show has low production costs per episode compared to a one hour drama show, so they can get 1/4 or 1/3 the viewership and still make a profit.

This is why we are getting more and more reality shows on regular TV.
