And why am I depressed you may ask? Only because the best show to ever grace television screens in the history of ever has been CANCELLED. Slash euphemism for cancelled because apparently networks don’t like using ‘cancelled’ for shows that are still airing because it discourages advertisers. Or some such nonsense. Bottom line is I DON’T CARE. Pushing Daisies is honestly one of the few things that can brighten my day no matter how shitty it has been every single time I watch it. It makes me so incredibly sad and simultaneously angry to think that it has been cancelled. And yet shows like The Bachelor and Two and a Half Men continue to survive. Seriously people. There is something wrong with our world when crappy, predictable, overdone humor and contrived ‘reality’ situations continue to exist, and wonderful, whimsical, funny gems like PD get cancelled. No other show can compare. Or for that matter, no other show probably will compare. How many programmes can honestly have pie, PIs, crazy aunts, pigs, nuns, singing, polygamy, prank calls made to mothers, AMAZING colours, illegal gambling with Chinese food, death by scratch’n'sniff and a character named Randy Mann and still manage to be awesome?  PD is yet another show I love which has been cancelled much before its time. Maybe I should just stop watching TV altogether. Then I couldn’t love a show which will inevitably be cancelled. I love the characters, I love the crazy world it’s set in, I love the music, I love the colour – I love everything about it. I seriously believe that I will never love another show as much as I’ve loved this one. I hate the fact that it will end on a cliffhanger, I hate the fact that I’ll never know if Olive will ever get/get over Ned (coz, let’s be honest, the former is what I’ve been rooting for the whole time), but more than anything I hate the fact that it’s ending. 

Basically, this post is me ranting at ABC. I seriously hate them all after this. Well, maybe not hate, as without them PD may not have even happened in the first place, but I seriously hate the decision they made. Both to cancel it and put it in the same timeslot as ANTM and Bones (coz seriously, that is not a good mood. Even I’d be tempted by Seeley Booth/crazy model wannabes on occasion).  And it was stupid to make their decision based on the ratings on the night of the ANTM final. That’s just dumb. And I want to cry. I probably will cry. And I also have to say this: FUCK YOU ABC. (“Word.”)
