I heard a podcast about Darabont and TWD. He said that "The Walking Dead" was first shopped to ABC who wanted the creators of the show to remove the zombies (!) from the show in order for it to air.

???

Can someone explain this to me? Speak slowly and use words a 4th grader can understand. Please.

Did they want to use a sexier variety of monsters for the TwiHard set, or did they envision the rag-tag surivivors fighting against thin air to survive in a post-Apocalyptic environment? (Hey, if it was good enough for the Day after Tomorrow...)

Bryan Fuller hints that some sort of return of Pushing Daisies is possible:

There is another Pushing Daisies project that is not a comic and that is not a miniseries that we're working on

I think I hate happiness, because there's really nothing I want back. Nothing, no Firefly, Sarah Conner, Wonderfalls, nothing.

However, if you try and pull the still-living Supernatual out of my hands I will fuck your shit up. What is dead is dead, but don't fucking kill shit.

Comic-Con OUAT season 2 preview.

I'm interested in seeing what it is he's got on his mind. . . speaking of shows that came back from the Dead - I read (somewhere - possibly via Twitter) that Netflix is talking about reviving Jericho (the second one with Skeet Ulrich).

I'd still like Farscape back in some form, but hearing Fuller's plans for seasons 2 and 3 of Wonderfalls cured me of wanting to see more despite how much I loved the series. Due South and Angel ended on nigh-perfect notes, and Buffy overstayed its welcome by a couple of years (plus the two awful comic book continuations).

I think I'll always mourn Pushing Daisies and The Tick.

There's nothing I want back anymore either. I wanted Firefly back when the wound was new, but now I'm content with letting it be what it was.

Only if they keep Ricky Manning involved, since he's got the most evil sensibility, and they really need that.

But I don't see it ever happening, and I'd rather be happy with what we got (except for some parts of season 4) than see it tarnished by going on and on like SPN. (Sorry, ita !)

Oh, I mourn stuff. But I am also really really okay with letting things lie.

On the flip side, I got into a big argument (this is where you do your shocked face) with a guy about ending shows. He was complaining about shows going on too long, and Story suffering, and I said--just turn off your TV! They'll cancel it soon enough, no worries. You can stop watching any time--it's not their fault if you don't, and why not let anyone else who's still getting enjoyment out of it squeak by with some extra fun on their screen?

Oh, no, Story will be tarnished. Dude, Buffy doesn't have a GPA or a rebound average she needs to maintain. Feel free to only buy the boxed set up through season 5, and leave other people to get what they can out of the rest. Everything is always cancelled too soon for someone. Just consider yourself lucky it's not you in this case, but why bother complain something's being cancelled too late? If SMG doesn't want a new job yet, it's her call. Not indentured servitude.

Sorry--I've just had so many "arguments" with people who want Supernatural cancelled because they stopped watching after season 5. YOU STOPPED WATCHING. What difference does it make if it's on air or not? You need the timeslot for something else?

eta: ha! I totally wrote this before reading your post, Consuela, but I stand by it 100%. The concept of "tarnishing" a show is completely useless to me. Completely.
