The Norwegians!! Hercules Declares Hilarious One Of The Last Four PUSHING DAISIES!!

I love this show by erichaislar	Dec 17th, 2008 01:56:22 PM
Also Fuller has said they they recut the last episode to end the series and give it closure. At least we get that.
So did you like last week's episode, Herc? by buffywrestling	Dec 17th, 2008 02:19:53 PM
Can Prime chime in too?
erichaislar by Shigeru	Dec 17th, 2008 02:30:43 PM
I didn't know that... that's good news! But bittersweet, of course...
It's almost over by magic34015	Dec 17th, 2008 02:46:20 PM
I am so sorry for that.
recommended SUPERNATURAL viewing guide for those catching up by BilboFett	Dec 17th, 2008 02:49:53 PM
This has been brought up in other talkbacks, but I am posting it here because people are asking and I'm afraid they may not see it in the other TB. Basically, people are done with HEROES and since Pushing Daisies is closing, people are seeking out other shows like Supernatural and LOST. So here's the recommended cliff-notes viewing guide for those checking out Supernatural: S1 pilot, S1x4-5, s1x9, s1x11, s1x14, s1x16, s1x20-22. So there's 10 out fo the 22 to watch from S1. Now for S2: s2x1-4, actually, nevermind. I was going to add ep 5, 6, 7, up through 10, and thats halfway through the season already. Just watch those 10 from S1 and start on S2 and just go through it. You may be able to skip eps 11, 13, and 16-19. All the others are important to the overall arc or further develop mysteries and secrets about the brothers, the dad, the demon, etc. From that point on just watch all of S3 and keep going. So I saved you from watching 12 episodes of S1 and 6 from S2. Fair enough? If you find you love the show, go back and watch the ones you missed. There's some REALLY good ones in there. Scary, dramatic, sad, funny, etc.
Pushing Daisies is pushing daisies by The Boz	Dec 17th, 2008 02:58:54 PM
I watched this show from time to time last season but have really gotten into it recently. Just in time for it to get cancelled.
When are Whedon, Fuller, and Minear going to learn? by Strabo	Dec 17th, 2008 03:09:16 PM
Stop trying to get your niché shows on broadcast television! The network is going to insist that you neuter your vision for mass market acceptance, and then cancel you anyway when the mouth-breathing morons don't tune in! Take your shows directly to cable! Look at FX! The Shield just finished up seven seasons. Damages was so good that it was rewarded with renewal for two 13 episode seasons even though the ratings weren't as high as expected. Sons of Anarchy just got another season. Rescue Me was renewed for a full length season! And if you do go to cable, and you do get canceled anyway, at least THEY let you know ahead of time and allow you to finish out an entire season, rather than canceling you after three or four episodes!
Strabo by Tin Snoman	Dec 17th, 2008 03:23:02 PM
While you have a point about cable, I think David Milch might disagree a bit.
Tin Snoman... by Strabo	Dec 17th, 2008 03:30:30 PM
Assuming you're talking about Deadwood, from what I've seen so far, Milch is about as interested in doing the Deadwood movies as HBO is.... I'd also like to point out that both Deadwood and John from Cincinnati were allowed to finish broadcasting their current season before cancelation. Unlike Drive, or Firefly, or Pushing Daisies, or Wonderfalls, or (inevitably) Dollhouse.
You know who i would love to see on this show? by skimn	Dec 17th, 2008 03:36:13 PM
The only bright spot of Kim & Kath, or Kath & Kim, or whatever. John Michael Higgins would be great as a guest on this show....too bad.
This is the end.....well almost by karmo	Dec 17th, 2008 03:38:58 PM
Yeah too bad this show is getting the axe. It's different, and I like that. Better than another cookie cutter sitcom where fat guys inexplicably have incredibly hot wives, or another assembly line medical/criminal/legal drama. I will miss all the pretty colors, the snappy dialogue, the unique premise, and even the impromptu musical numbers. This show was truly different, and not many shows can be so sweet and so dark all at once.
Will the Barry Sonnefeld directed episode air by skimn	Dec 17th, 2008 03:45:45 PM
before time runs out?
A black Norwegian? by Zarles	Dec 17th, 2008 03:58:38 PM
Awesome.
The Norwegians are leaving! The Norwegians are leaving! by StarWarsRedux	Dec 17th, 2008 04:23:36 PM
And so is this show!
I will be so glad..... by landocolt45	Dec 17th, 2008 04:55:19 PM
When this terrible show is finally over. It's so fucking boring. Does anyone else have this problem???? I'm sorry but I don't see the appeal and obviously so did everyone else.
No, landocolt. by Zarles	Dec 17th, 2008 06:22:59 PM
You are the only miserable cocksucker on the planet who doesn't like this show, and you are also the only miserable cocksucker who found it necessary to come into this talkback and tell us about it. Please, go find a roof to jump off of.
Well said Zarles! by br1947	Dec 17th, 2008 07:09:29 PM

Long Standing Restraining Orders... by XXXHardcore	Dec 17th, 2008 07:19:50 PM
...I know Olive has at least one. Against ME!
MILF! by br1947	Dec 17th, 2008 07:28:38 PM
Mobile Investigative Labratory Facility!
MILF - I did not catch that by Big Jim	Dec 17th, 2008 08:25:53 PM
I feel dumb Favourite line: "It would be difficult to rape & pillage with the subtlety of a humanist"
Strabo's right, Networks suck, move niche shows to cable by Drath	Dec 17th, 2008 08:41:35 PM
And by niche shows I think we mean anything interesting that's not about lawyers or cops or doctors. Do you think the lugheads in charge of NBC wouldn't have cancelled Burn Notice and Battlestar Galactica before 13 episodes had aired? We might still have Firefly, Journeyman, Wonderfalls, My Own Worst Enemy, and now Pushing Daisies had they been on cable. Crap, Psych is on like it's THIRD season! That show would be deader than Nixon if it were on regular TV. NBC is so bad, they actually have started the move to talk shows and reality shit 24/7. I think it's time to face it, good TV isn't on the regular broadcast networks anymore. Even crap like Raising the Bar is starting to become a fluke almost as much as a good show on network TV surviving it's first 13 episodes! Is it too late to get Dollhouse and Sarah Connor Chronicles onto TNT instead of Fox? Shit, those two combined with Leverage would be one sweet TV night! Well, I assume Dollhouse will be that good.
Gerorgw Hamilton!!!!!!!!!! by erichaislar	Dec 17th, 2008 09:03:25 PM
Is Neds Dad Awesome!

This SUUUUUCKS! by Hamtaro Hentai	Dec 17th, 2008 10:25:57 PM
Why oh why must american tv viewers be so afraid of something a little different? (read: intelligent) I hope Fuller gets a PD movie made, I'm not so big on the funnybooks...
Perhaps a network switch? by lfhlaw	Dec 17th, 2008 11:55:50 PM
however, that's not been so good for new shows. Only Scrubs that has moved from NBC to ABC and J.A.G. which went from NBC to CBS. I think....that's correct. T'would be interesting if TNT picked it up or a smaller network, but i think the budget for it is probably gonna knock it out of the smaller networks. Wonder if CW would consider it. It'd be different, but...It could draw people to their network, plus they sacked their sunday programming and are running reruns.
REAPER... by Ambush_Bug	Dec 18th, 2008 12:04:03 AM
...as a mid-season replacement - never seemed so needed as it does now that this series is almost over.
Why this show will be sorely missed: by billypilgrimisunstuck	Dec 18th, 2008 04:08:32 AM
MILF. hehe.
Another reason: by billypilgrimisunstuck	Dec 18th, 2008 04:21:41 AM
Jim Dale: "Oh Hell No"
NED'S DAD!!! by billypilgrimisunstuck	Dec 18th, 2008 04:43:42 AM
Sorry. Just finished it.
I must admit by The McPoyle Clan	Dec 18th, 2008 07:05:56 AM
that Ned and Chuck have been getting a little too mushy the past couple weeks. But I still love this show. Sucks that it's going to get cut off now that it's getting even more interesting with the appearance of Papa. It's true about the freedom of a cable network, but don't think PD's budget would allow it.
Straight from the mouths of L-Primes by elprime	Dec 18th, 2008 07:58:17 AM
Yes, my stupid country has stopped airing it early, taking away my chance for weekly internet glory. In brief, last week, "Merle McQuoddy": 7, maybe 7.5 -- kinda blah, I almost resent the weekly mystery for getting in the way when there's so much plot to take care of, though the Dwight Dixon development did make for some interesting conundrums. This week, easily a 9, if not more. It was great to see a bit of Emerson's human side, and Chenoweth of course is always a delight. We're finally barreling straight on to our inevitable ending, and the wrenches thrown in by the delightful Norwegian guest cast, all actors I enjoy, even if I don't know Milicevic as well as the other two (Jones I've always liked and Weaver was great on the very under-rated preg-com Notes from the Underbelly). All in all, even though it's tough to talk as thoroughly as I do while taking notes for an actual piece of writing, this week was definitely a very, very solid outing, and of course, GEORGE HAMILTON?!?! Deadly.
Referring to Olive as by skimn	Dec 18th, 2008 08:19:51 AM
itty-bitty puts a smile on my face, as it does Chenowith. (Yes, rhymes with titty, I know) I will definately stick with Reaper this year when it returns.
And Emerson's kitty-cat in tree analogy by skimn	Dec 18th, 2008 08:23:37 AM
was great. Chi McBride deserved a Emmy nod for his work also.
"That's Lily's handwriting!" by Sherman_Lives	Dec 18th, 2008 08:28:36 AM
Uh, did anyone else notice two distinct notes to Dixon in this episode? With different handwriting and different spellings for "cemetery?" I was hoping that would be a clue, a plot point. Nope, just sloppy prop management. Bizarre.
I want a Norwegian Jacket by luckycreature	Dec 18th, 2008 10:07:20 AM
Anyone ever seen a jacket like this anywhere? I want one.
Jim Dale's "Oh Hell No!"... by TOASTERslayer	Dec 18th, 2008 12:31:18 PM
Had me laughing hysterically. It so hard watching this show every week as it gets better and better, knowing that it will soon be gone. Hopefully that supposed closure will be somewhat satisfying.
Another great ep. by Mooly	Dec 18th, 2008 04:35:46 PM
The MILF bus named "mother" was just too damn funny. The billboard showing the norwegians had "scubbe du" written on it, Ned talking about "waking and baking" (weed reference) except he meant waking the dead and baking pies, Olive mentioning something about things in people's mouths and hands that should go unmentioned...this show has some of the darkest and most sexual humour I've ever seen for such a cutesy fairy tale show. Truly a testament to the amazing writing talent behind the show. Makes me sadder every day to think the show is ending.
Yeah the 'Hell No' Narrater Line... by _Maltheus_	Dec 18th, 2008 04:47:17 PM
...was my favorite part of that ep. Not that the rest wasn't great. Are they really airing the last three eps? There's no date for them in epguides.com and I figured we'd had to wait for DVD or something.
I'd watch this show if ABC's online player wasn't shit by JackDonkey	Dec 18th, 2008 06:46:57 PM
It locks up firefox 70% of the time, worth the relaunching of firefox 3 or 4 times for Life on Mars but not this show.
Narrator's "Oh HAYell No!" --- BRILLIANT by chromedome	Dec 18th, 2008 11:34:26 PM
completely surprising and so perfectly done
Anyone know air-plans for the final 3? by chromedome	Dec 18th, 2008 11:35:50 PM
seems like most shows are on hiatus until mid-Jan, and some are not back until February
According to an Auseillo Files by buffywrestling	Dec 19th, 2008 01:01:21 AM
ABC is rumored to burn off the final three eps in one night early January.
A Daisies mini-marathon? by Big Jim	Dec 19th, 2008 08:24:20 AM
I shall bake a pie and eat it a-la-mode! And at the end of the evening I will be sad at the demise of one of the best TV shows to grace the airwaves.
Thank you , L-Prime! by buffywrestling	Dec 19th, 2008 07:05:48 PM
I finally get a break from X-mas foofrarah to respond in a slightly tipsey fashion. You must be from Ontario because in My Winnipeg didn't get an early showing of Daisies - ever. Same thing happened with Buffy but that is neither here nor there. Sometimes I think I am a bit di-ranged because I usually go against the consensus in opinion. Not in liking the shows in general,but on which episodes tickle me fancy. I LOVED last weeks. I would like to bottle Emerson calling Olive "Itty Bitty" and sell it. The chest bump....GAWD, the chest bump! I'm such a fangrrl of Olive & Cod. I would like to say I hope there would be a show of just them but if the general public can't absorb a show that encompasses the entire cast, how can a show be built around two supporting characters? (Fuller, I know you are going to spin off the comic book and I would just like to request and Olive & Cod business venture. People could keep on coming in thinking it is a restaurant! A weird and slightly disgusting restaurant but Oh! The fun that they could have!~) Jim Dale's "Aw, Hell naw" marks one of the best things ever seen and Aunt Viv kicked it out of the fucking park and into the neighbor's yard. When she congratuated Lily on being right; well we ALL have someone like that in our lives, friend or family. i had a problem with the guest casting. They couldn't get actual Norweigians? Would have rathered seen a no name with a decent accent. Although, I did like Riley's wife licking Olive and her taking it in stride. And Ned's going on the wagon. We all know how that will turn out. Come to think of it Ned didn't do much this episode but he's got that standing the background with his mouth in a perfect O-thing down pat. Chuck is my least favorite character. Don't know why. Is she too dreamy? Her Dad spliting should have woken her up but she's still wishing on horses. If they do have a mini-marathon - it's only "rumored" for now - I hope you put a talkback anyway, Herc. Just so we can say "Bye to the pie".
