Pushing Daisies is clearly going to be this season's show where I do not get the overwhelming love. I tivo'd the repeat of the pilot after people said such good things about it, and I only got 15 minutes in before the twee narration pushed me beyond endurance. There looked like there might be a decent show underneath if only the guy would Shut The Fuck Up (I liked the detective), but life is too short to listen to that shit.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

A lot of us feel like it goes into twee, through twee and out the other side.....

tavella,
I totally see where you are coming from. For some reason, I'm really into the twee 90% of the time. I think you would have died with the musical sequence, "Hopelessly Devoted to you." I sprained my eyeballs rolling them during those few minutes, but by and large, I really dig the show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't think twee bothers me. What else is twee?

i'm with you, tavella, but somehow, the twee hasn't pushed me over the edge yet. It bothers me a little more each time, though, so they need to tone it down.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What else is twee?
Spwuce? Wedwood?
