Next Week's Episode is Much Better by WriteFromLeft	Jun 6th, 2009 01:02:20 AM
The Paley Center audience howled with laughter during some of scenes in the final episode, me included, and I don't howl with laughter easily. Don't miss it. Oh, and George Hamilton doesn't return to the series, sorry to say.
The only question is... by Shermdawg	Jun 6th, 2009 02:06:46 AM
...will it be preempted again? I actually had an WSET employee call me back Monday morning after I left a message Saturday regarding when, or if they'd reschedule it. She said "from 10-10:15 they put up a scroll giving this information". The thing is, they didn't. And even if they had, which they didn't, there was no sense in airing it after repeats of two syndicated shows of rival networks and a twenty four year old episode of Gimme a Break. Local afiiliates jerk around their viewers just as much as the networks.
This was my favourite ep by theGoldbergV	Jun 6th, 2009 05:54:27 AM
of the second season. There are whole scenes of this one that are just laugh out loud funny. And Chenoweth just nails it. Did send Herc a review when it aired over here in UK, but he obviously didn't like it. sniffs no problem, its okay bursts into tears
Pentultimate by RipperGiles	Jun 6th, 2009 06:27:53 AM
HOLY FUCKING ZOMBIE CHRIST!!! Why didn't anyone post anything about last week's ep being the antipentultimate??!?!!?!?!?!?!
RipperGiles by ElPaw	Jun 6th, 2009 07:46:36 AM
Maybe because it was antepenultimate? Antipenultimate just means second.
I love this show! by duct tape wallet	Jun 6th, 2009 08:29:45 AM
ABC was foolish to cancel it.
TITBAG by Shermdawg	Jun 6th, 2009 10:23:27 AM
I'm fairly certain a good portion of Pushing Daisie fans, could care less about Ned, or his power. It's all about the aunts, Cod, and Itty Bitty.
On the long list of things... by em_tee_em	Jun 6th, 2009 10:23:41 AM
...that upset talkbackers and make them cry Herc's use of the terms "penultimate" and "antepenultimate" is one of the stranger.
@Shermdawg by em_tee_em	Jun 6th, 2009 10:26:10 AM
Why would you even bother to address TITBAG? Just let him do his thing and the rest of us will have a conversation around him.
@em_tee_em by Shermdawg	Jun 6th, 2009 11:11:51 AM
I'll address anyone. Sportos, Motorheads, Geeks, Sluts, Bloods, Wastoids, Dweebies, Dickheads, and even Titbags. I don't discriminate.
Anyone notice... by jimmy_009	Jun 6th, 2009 12:26:59 PM
...that the word penultimate is particularly en vouge these days? It's like people learned it all of a sudden and now it's everywhere. It's like how fast food restaurants latch on to whatever is new: one has angus beef, suddenly you see angus beef everywhere. One starts using chipolte, everyone's got it. "Penultimate" is the panini bread of entertainment writing.
@Shermdawg by em_tee_em	Jun 6th, 2009 01:13:02 PM
Fair enough then... I guess somebody has to.
A new Worst Week tonight too by ThrowMeTheIdol	Jun 6th, 2009 01:41:59 PM
Which was the best new comedy of this last season with a fun cast. So naturally it got canceled.
Pentultimate and its "ante", "sub-ante", "octo-ante", "Jon and K by RipperGiles	Jun 6th, 2009 02:51:13 PM
and it's the recent outcry over "pentultimate", "antepentultimate", "megapentultamate" and "orgasmonialpentultimate" that had me make that ill-received snarky remark. I cared not if it was used correctly, incorrectly, or in conjunction with a rope in the closet of a celebrity's hotel room. I was just pretty hopped up on vicodin (and somewhat still am) from my recently demolished leg and decided being a cuntrag on the internet was the most clever thing I could ever do. Ever. In the history of both cuntraggery and clever things.
above... by RipperGiles	Jun 6th, 2009 02:53:16 PM
Guess talkback doesn't like retardedly long titles. That said, the lame title to my above post I actually wrote read: Pentiultimate and it's "Ante", "Sub-ante", "Octo-ante", "Jon and Kate and the Other Woman and Her New Lawyer Plus Eight-ante", "Proto-Ante" and "Cool Ranch" flavors
On a personal note by RedCricketChase	Jun 6th, 2009 05:35:11 PM
I get some pretty huge laughs on the Heroes Eps that Fuller doesn't write. Just a different sort of laughter.
it's a pity the series finishes so badly by eudofarkencrog	Jun 6th, 2009 06:30:32 PM
Pushing Dasies was one of the better shows to come along. Even though it slowed down a bit in the 2nd series, it's a pity that it was closed down. As a result, next week's episode is kind of crap as they try to tie everything up in a rush job
How sad it it... by buffywrestling	Jun 6th, 2009 09:10:54 PM
that I still want to read "Lil' Gumshoe"?
Oh look, it's the only decent thing about Voyager. by Shermdawg	Jun 6th, 2009 09:21:21 PM

"Catch the bitch." by buffywrestling	Jun 6th, 2009 09:23:53 PM
Emerson's eyeroll before that line was awesome. And could I have more Gina on TV, please?
That darn whistle in tonight's score reminds me of... by Shermdawg	Jun 6th, 2009 09:30:33 PM
...Animal Crossing for some reason.
Anna Friel and Zooey Deschanel by cymbalta4thedevil	Jun 6th, 2009 09:37:28 PM
should do a Girls with Big Eyes Buddy Comedy.
Oh My God! by buffywrestling	Jun 6th, 2009 09:54:20 PM
That guy looked exactly like Gary Oldman in Dracula!
Herc's been using penultimate for years by hst666	Jun 7th, 2009 10:36:02 AM
I have not heard it more in recent days than in the past. It's not an unusual word and if you believe it is, you need to read a little more.
eudofarkencrog- Don't agree. by Lovecraftfan	Jun 7th, 2009 11:47:08 AM
The second season has had some of the best episodes. Its not going out badly at all.
LOVE this show. by scrivener	Jun 7th, 2009 01:00:30 PM
I can't believe it's almost gone forever. HBO or Showtime needs to touch this series and bring it back to live. Pushing Daisies was the most entertaining, heartwarming television show I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Shame on the network, they're fucking idiots.
Shermdog by RenoNevada2000	Jun 7th, 2009 02:25:36 PM
That's why they think you're a righteous dude.
The 2nd season was MUCH strong the 1st imo. by flickchick85	Jun 7th, 2009 03:41:03 PM
Last night's disappointed me just because was hoping for some resolution on the Emerson/Penny front. Seeing her in a car driving away and smiling isn't nearly enough, since I know with 1 episode left, that's all we're gonna get. But I get that they didn't know that when they wrote it. Oh well, I'm gonna miss this show SO much. And would it kill ABC to admit that next week's episode is the series finale? That "On the next new episode" BS left a bitter taste in my mouth at the end of a show that usually leaves me grinning from ear to ear.
MUCH stronger* by flickchick85	Jun 7th, 2009 03:41:53 PM
Damn lack of edit button...
Lovecraftfan by eudofarkencrog	Jun 7th, 2009 04:41:42 PM
Lovecraftfan, in saying it was going out badly I was refering to the end of the last episode, which I have already seen. It is finished up in a very botchy way. I will bet that after seeing it, you will agree.
The ending is kinda weird by theGoldbergV	Jun 7th, 2009 04:50:17 PM
its rushed enough to not be completely satisfying, but still done well enough to be anti-climatic. It almost makes me wish they'd left it on a cliffhanger...almost.
As much as I loved the 1st season, the show grew stale. by Snake Foreskin	Jun 7th, 2009 09:52:36 PM
I haven't enjoyed the second season nearly as much. Mostly because they left off much of the romance between the Pie Maker and Chuck in favor of the capers. And the truth is, the capers aren't all that well executed. It's a stylish show with a very specifc energy and rhythm, but that isn't enough to make the show a keeper. I really loved the first season though. It's one of my favorite seasons of TV ever.

Pushing Daisies finale: by Kid Z	Jun 9th, 2009 12:47:50 PM
Massive asteroid hits Earth, killing all life except Pie maker dude. Pie maker dude finds unpaved patch of dirt in empty lot next to pie-shaped pie shop, reaches down, touches the ground, brings Earth back to life. Scary weeble-looking waitress, dead chick pie maker dude brought back to life, creepy aunt with eyepatch who used to be on Sisters, black private eye, all happy! Once dead chick so happy she forgets self and kisses pie maker dude, dies. Pie maker dude distraught, sits down on bare ground to cry, touches dirt again, Earth dies again, except for piemaker guy. Showrunner goes back to his previous job of Tim Kring's janitor.
