The clock is ticking: Final ‘Pushing Daisies’ episodes begin airing tonight
ABC may have killed Bryan Fuller’s Pushing Daisies months ago, but the charming little romantic comedy will be revived for its final moments (120 minutes) starting tonight. In three short episodes, we surely won’t have all of our questions answered, but will we find the closure to move on? Or will we want to hang on to the decaying corpse of a show like Chuck does her father’s?
There’s talk of a comic book series, but it may be best just to let this whimsical treat rest in peace. No comic will be able to give me that same melting feeling I get when Ned gives Chuck that sad, cute half-smile. Nor will it be able to replicate the pleasure from hearing Olive perform the best of Broadway. Some things only television can do.
Wait, there are going to be zombies in the comic? Sorry, TV. There are some things only comics can do.
Pushing Daisies airs tonight at 10 p.m. on ABC
