Last Live-blogging: Pushing Daisies

9:01 PM:  That is it for the year and the other three episodes will be aired without publicity.  But if you want and ending that has a cliffhanger, but with some conclusion, this was it.  HAPPY ANNE MURRAY HOLIDAYS!!!

8:59 PM:  GEORGE HAMILTON?!!!  Now that’s a surprise to leave on.  WOW!!!

8:58 PM:  Cold turkey fingers.  It had to end that way.

8:57 PM:  I knew Wilbon was that sneaky. 

8:56 PM:  Weekend at Bernies situation.

8:49 PM:  Mother?  She must have a bunch of stories to tell inside of her.  I hear threesomes and hot sauna action.  Appropriate enough, a Levitra commercial is airing after that.

8:48 PM:  Let me end this, it’s Ned’s father.

8:47 PM:  End of the series talk.  NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

8:45 PM:  Oh snap!!!

8:39 PM: 

8:37 PM:  Finger jokes.  Somewhere, pulling it is on someone’s mind.  Oh wait…

8:36 PM:  Baseball caps?  Where them fleece hockey helmet hats?

8:34 PM:  Empty caskets…they’re at Wilbon’s tub.

8:32 PM:  First thought from the Norwegians:  Johann Olav Koss will never die, then onto their matter.

8:30 PM:  They’re going pop on our ass.  This is getting eerie.

8:28 PM:  Can Norwegians trust a Swede?  I’m actually asking.

8:26 PM:  We’re digging for treasure.  Does this seem to be an another episode of Psych, only with a hot woman and Europeans?

8:23 PM:  It had to be the Norwegians to make the story around.  I would prefer the Swiss for the cheese, chocolate, and their neutrality has help them made Roger Federer a star.

8:21 PM  I realize the Muppets are on NBC right now.  Thank goodness for picture and picture and DVR.

8:19 PM:  Last week, it was raincoats.  This week, matching Norway uniforms.  Where’s my old school Vietnamese Saigon shirt?

8:18 PM:  You know who would be a good foreign officer to the U.S.?  The Drunkenmaster

8:16 PM:  Oh, Hells Bells?  Wait for it…

8:15 PM:  New crime team:  Ity Bity and Big Chocolate.

8:13 PM:  So, this is how the Sedin Twins get up on your face.

8:11 PM:  Obvious, the Norwegians are dark-haired people.  If you want to know, Swedes are blond, the Finnish are red, and the Danish have cookies.  They’re playing the stereotype perfectly.

8:09 PM:  Oh, it’s the Norwegians.  Wilbon vs. J.A. Adande.

8:07 PM:  Wilbon wants details.  He’s serious

8:05 PM:  Olive Snook, “I’m not a yo-yo.”  Really?  I see them bouncing around that much.

8:04 PM:  Wilbon onto his hottub and firing away.

8:02 PM:  How could Mike leave a $10 bet?  What a chump.

8:00 PM:  Wonderful, a salute to Salute Your Shorts

7:57 PM:  I’m getting teary-eyed, oh wait, that’s the new HD in my face.

Pushing Daisies Episode 9 Cliff Notes Version

Just to let you know that I had time to come back home to watch the whole episode and be a little late of the live-blogging. However, my business skills took over and came in 15 minutes into the show, here would of been my comments:

• First episode without Lil’Ned.   Good break.
• I would be crying if I shot a clown statue.  Poor Chuckles!
• If she weren’t dead and came back alive, Chuck would be so much fun.  She’s choke full of surprises.
• Seems the mystery is obsolete and now is the secondary part of the show.  Can you say transition to a feature-length movie?
• It’s the kid from Weeds.  From his experience with Mary-Louise Parker, he knows how to position his head.
• Wilbon acting like the real Wilbon.  Hates rain, reasonable, wants to move to Arizona.
• Tap that and a follow Dick Van Dyck’s ass.  Two separate thoughts
• “Millions of Peaches, Peaches for me.”
• Man, does the show have to turn once beloved characters Jimmy James of NewsRadio and Mike from Ed and turn them into a-holes on this show?  I’m worried Bryan Fuller is tying brainwash classic shows and force everyone to like his show.  It mostly work, but I still like NewsRadio and Ed.
• Chocolate Cake?  How about Strawberry Shortcake next time?!
• Robert Irvine vs. Paula Deen fighting at the Pie Hole.
• Is there a raincoat of egg rolls somewhere?
• Classic moment:  Olive Snook actually jump and chest bump Wilbon. 
• David Koechner really appreciates playing facial hair roles.
• More and more I look into it, I do feel why the show is getting cancelled.  I do not want to stare Charles Charles the whole time unless he had a Marcia Cross transformation.
• You know the show wants the mystery aspect of the show out by already telling us who did it.
• Norah went from Koechner to Shorty?  Seems a horizontal move to me.
• Here’s the kid’s timeline:  Went from Mary-Louise Parker -> Kristin Chenoweth -> Anna Friel -> Ended up with David Koechner.  Dude got a raw deal.
• Wilbon having a Katrina Witt moment.
• The spoon lands in Detroit.  No wonder she stayed.
• Oh no, Charles wants cake and he’s going to Baltimore.  He better watch out for the Wire.
• Next Week’s episode is The Norwegians where Wilbon meets his Norwegian self.  Dude loves to go Scandinavia.
• That would be the last “publicity episode.”  The 5 remaining shows are yet to determine to air.  Tell us now ABC.

Pushing Daisies Episode 8 Cliff Notes Version

From the searches I’m getting, people wanted to see Pushing Daisies last night from my point of view.  I would like to say I apologize for not giving a heads up because I went to a happy hour networking event for business last night.  Sadly, it’s going to happen again since I’m going to an event next Wednesday as well, but I will be back on the Series Finale.  Just to note, I did see the last 10 minutes of the show.  Here’s the Cliff Notes version if I were live-blogging:

• Ned learn how to party with pies.  No wonder he had a sad life.
• Oh boy, Josh Randall as Chuck’s Dad.  You know that means:  $10 bets

• The passing of the torch:  Jimmy James of NewsRadio to Mike in Ed.  You know why I love this show.
• I don’t why people hate the show.  People who died are the bad ones, while the others are having second chances and make the most of it.  Who said it’s a crappy show?
• Not enough Wilbon, but got in some good zingers.
• Of course, a guy who ate too much fried chicken is guilty.  But a person who eats potatoes and fries are never guilty.
• The fashion of this episode…Not their best.
• The crossover episode was ok, but the episode seemed disappointing after the hype of the crossover episode.
• It would be sad to see the show go, but I like the creator keeping hope of making comic books and a possible movie.  Hope my business comes through to see that movie.
• Anyone else live-blogging next week for Pushing Daisies?

Live-blogging Pushing Daisies 5

9:00 PM:  The crossover episode next week, or should be depending on my network.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  Oh, one more surprise tomorrow.

8:57 PM:  Oh snap,  Charles Charles is coming alive.  Damn you, evil Jimmy James!!!!

8:55 PM:  Wilbon is great for the money, but he needs to know how to pitch or untuck his shirt.

8:53 PM:  Couldn’t they use a name Mitt or Henry as the enemy?

8:49 PM:  Rob Reich?  Do they believe the former Secretary of Labor is that evil?  Are they going after the vertically challenged?

8:46 PM:  Ooooh, actual drama.  Intense.

8:45 PM:  Stress-eating?  Everyone has that.  Nice try though.

8:44 PM  I forgot, Rosie Live is on.  Eh.

8:40 PM:  Again, where’s my Jimmy James?!!!

8:38 PM:  Ned is the freakish talent, Chuck has the Super-Sniffer, and Wilbon is the token black guy.  It’s Psych, but with no Irish guy.

8:36 PM:  Is this a crossover episode of The Knights of Prosperity?  I thought the crossover was next week.  Damn, I missed that show.

8:34 PM:  CORRECTION:  It’s Tam Fong.  Either way, no love for the Asians.

8:33 PM:  Just a friendly reminder, some stores have alerts one hour before the stores open on Black Friday.  The best time for a prank

8:29 PM:  Jimmy James has been influence by the Coen Brothers so much.  Watch too much Javier Bardem.

8:27 PM:  Yes, I would convert Chuck’s old room into a cheese room.  I wonder they Buffalo Wing Cheese?  If I were me, I would change it into the touchscreen room like to news analysts use in the election.

8:25 PM:  Ah crap, Tommy Fong looks likes me from last year, but more skinny and more goofy wearing the elf suit.

8:23 PM:  Here’s a weapon of chopice when facing Asians..Durian.

8:20 PM:  I don’t like seriously evil Jimmy James.  Where’s the fun, nitwit Jimmy James.

8:18 PM:  OMG,  Jimmy James is both Squidward and Plankton, but with clothes.

8:17 PM:  The show is not in favor of Asians.

8:15 PM:  My prediction, the porter the bell ringer did it.

8:13 PM:  Big to Berdunk-a-dunk.  Wilbon strikes gold again.  Also, a key party is intriguing depending on the prospects.

8:11 PM:  I watch The Bonnie Hunt Show and they had someone from the Real Housewives of Atlanta.  The guest is very similar in looks and stature to the gold-digger.  Let me say they’re both not the sharpest of knives.

8:09 PM:  Gold-digging wife?  I thought we ran out of those during these economic times.  Although old guy through a chandellor creating fireworks is good business.

8:06 PM:  Someone kill the spinning yarning inventor?  And he’s rich?  Wow, I’m thinking this is set in Florida.  Well,  the back drop is from Universal Studios.

8:03 PM:  May I request a stronger drink…Johnnie Walker Blue.

8:02 PM:  Stress-baking?  Perfect term for tomorrow.  Paranoia in the kitchen.

8:01 PM:  Eh, Ferrets had to die soon.  Oh well.

8:00 PM:  Young Ned was a terrible gambler

7:55 PM:  This will be the seventh of 13 episodes of Pushing Daisies and 6 more episodes until it’s gone forever.  Please enjoy it while its on-air.  Also, to be serious for a moment, thoughts and prayers for the people at Mumbai, India.

Live-blogging Pushing Daisies 4

9:00 PM:  It was touching at the end using the bee set.  That was very nice.  Sadly, not enough Wilbon jokes.  I’ll try better.

8:59 PM:  I love the show, but showing a half-naked old man won’t bring the show ratings.

8:57 PM:  Uh-oh…

8:56 PM   Role play…I want to be Michael Beschloss.

8:55 PM:  When did Ned became a golfer?

8:54 PM:  Maureen Dowd the Magician.  That has the nice touch.

8:51 PM:  Tompkins must of paid the producers big time.

8:46 PM:  Nevermind, the producers really love Best Week Ever.  By the way, being a redhead is hot.  Now, Pfaff is going to kill me.

8:45 PM:  Tompkins dead…the producers must hate pop culture show.

8:42 PM:  Wonder Twins power, activate in form of…I got nothing.

8:37 PM:  Is there anything eco-friendly for hippies to cheer?

8:35 PM:  Adult diapers?  Ned’s family are weird.

8:34 PM:  Kind of cruel that Dad left at a magic act.  He went Steven Bing on them.

8:31 PM:  Fred Willard is still alive?  Is he going to break it down folk style?

8:29 PM:  I think I’m starting to have a crush on Ellen Greene

8:26 PM:  Tompkins only eat glass, pickpockets value, and cares about PETA.  My guess is the producers love Best Week Ever over The Soup (McHale died of poison and other combinations).

8:24 PM:  Ned kicking ass and taking names.  That’s how he rolls.

8:22 PM:  Noooo, Fred Willard dead and Chuck with a boa.  Steaming inside my shirt.

8:20 PM:  This is scary,  I have the same hairdo as Alton Brown.  Stop copying me Alton…can you teach how to cook a perfect turkey?

8:18 PM:  The killer eats a BLT.  Dude loves to eat animals…Wait…TOMPKINS!!!

8:16 PM:  Jimmy James turned evil.  I thought he was a nitwit.

8:15 PM:  The Blueberries…Sweet.  Dingleberries…Classic.

8:12 PM:  Who would kill these animals?  Also, where is Fred’s Million Dollar Belt?

8:10 PM:  At least the Kay Jewelers commercial is romantic.  What was the commercial about Zales with the guy going to another building, pull the string, and swing the ring to her girlfriend?  Dude, be a man and kneel and don’t be that fancy.

8:08 PM:  Fred as gay magician.  Stroking the goatee.  I prefer beards.

8:05 PM:  Anna Friel using her real voice.  Versatile and don’t mind getting a telemarketing call from her.

8:04 PM:  All Star show.  Including Fred Willard, you get Paul F. Tompkins.  As we learn the past week, the B plot is always the best.

8:02 PM:  Wilbon taking care of business.  Oh, Happy 50th to the Real Wilbon.

8:01 PM:  Twins as magicians…where’s the White Tiger?

8:00 PM:  Oooh, Language and Violence, but no Sex.  Darn.

7:48 PM:  The 6th of 13 episodes of Pushing Daisies.  Damn people, more watching and more DVRing the show.

Tracy’s Random Thoughts November 2008 Edition

First, how do you like the new design?  Also, how do you like the new badges I’ve been figuring out for a few weeks?  Site is now simple and easy to follow.  Hope you enjoy, but onto better things: me.

1. The 2008 Presidential Election

Since I’ve discuss the Presidential election at length, there is more of the other stuff that happen other than the result:

• CNN brought out their newest technological innovation…the hologram.  I could go with a Star Wars, Star Trek, or a Mortal Kombat joke.  Everything has been taken.  But if you want innovation from CNN,  it’s here.
• Kind of sad that Jon Stewart was the first person to call the election.  Though  everyone knew when Ohio was called for Obama, it was over.
• This leads to the next few years when Jon Stewart’s contract expires.   The next four are going to be interesting as we have a serious president.  Yes, there are some jokes available, but when network late night is calling for $30-40 million per year, it’s hard to turn that down.  The late night wars get interesting again.
• Note to networks:  Train your analysts how to use the touchboard.  Two years my friends, there’s plenty of time to train.
• Saturday Night Live had a great year during the campaign.  Now, they’re back to sucking without one of their key players in Amy Poehler.
• NBC had the best all-around performance:  Their newscast, their commentators, SNL.  Still, Ben Silverman still has a job because he brought Knight Rider into our lives again.
• Prediction:  FAUX News will still be at top of the cable news networks because the South watches a lot of TV that relate to them.  However, their power has been diminished significantly.
• If you want to know how can an Obama administration is changing, look at today’s events.  Tons of people protesting to say no to Prop 8 in California after voters pass the proposition. Now, people from all sides are joining the effort, either rain or shine, to want equality to all and that’s cool. 
• Somebody didn’t listen to Peter Schiff.  Here comes the Ron Paulites mocking everyone else:
• The loser of the election…Neoconservatives and the newspaper industry.  They are tried their best (depending on your view), but did not get the result they want.
• The winner of the election…Nate Silver of http://www.fivethirtyeight.com.  Somebody is hitting the jackpot.

2. Tony Reali

If you don’t know who Tony Reali is;  he’s “Stat Boy” of Pardon the Interruption and host of Around the Horn.   For the first few years, he meshes great with Tony and Mike.  I also give him credit for bring ATH some respectability, but not that much.   However, he’s kind of rubbing some the wrong way.  My first indication was when I interned at NPR, I saw him a couple of times along Chinatown and he carries a water bottle, but he doesn’t hold it on his hand, he puts it on his back pocket.  I find it gross, but it didn’t give me any indication of future outcomes.  Then, on the last Halloween show on PTI, he never dressed up and everyone else did.  Some are split that wearing that Halloween is a kids holiday.  I can understand that, but his tone seemed obnoxious while saying “I’m an adult.”  Also, Luke Russert wore a Buffalo Bills jersey and all Reali wears is a sports jacket and a muscle shirt?  And he mocks Tony and Mike about their wardrobe allowance?

However, the top indication Reali has change is two words:  [The name that shall be nameless].   It’s odd that [The name that shall be nameless] is winning a lot from Reali hosting.  Doesn’t Reali know he’s reading from cue cards when he makes his “points.”  Then, Dan Levy had an interview with Reali and this was very telling:

Interview with Reali about no name.

Rick Telander doesn’t count because he has the same qualities as [The name that shall be nameless], but he’s more inclusive.  However, if Roger Ebert writes an open letter about [The name that shall be nameless] and you still think he’s good, then you’re Ben Lyons.

There could be many reasons why Reali is like this right now: 

• He’s a newlywed.
• [The name that shall be nameless] paying him off.
• Wants to be the next Michael Phelps (not for the gold, for other stuff).
• He’s jealous of Nate Silver’s success since Nate is now the true “Stat Man.” 

I’ll take the latter.

3.  Pushing Daisies

You know I’m a big fan of Pushing Daisies by doing some live-blogging when the show airs to get 3 or 4 additional viewers.  You all heard the news is ABC told production to stop at Episode 13, and then let’s see how it goes.  I can tell you what’s going to happen;  enjoy the last 8 episodes.   It’s odd that Knight Rider will survive and not this genius show.  Really people?!!!

4.  Holiday Music

Yes, the holidays are coming, but I must tell one of my pet peeves right now:  Playing holiday music before Thanksgiving or Halloween, depending where you live.  I know people are excited for the holidays, but take it one holiday at a time.  Right now, I want commercials and shows that are based on turkeys, the right recipes and if a tofu turkey is delicious.  Worry about the holiday season after the Thanksgiving Day Parade is over.  This year, you can start early since the traditional Thanksgiving football games suck this year.   Then, you can bust the holiday music.  Next time, I’ll bring my holiday music mix.

5.  Cash commercials

What is up with the numerous commercials from Cashpoint and Cash4Gold?  By the way, how you know if it’s a bad commercial:  If someone is driving the car, and waving cash out the window, in front of a camera, it’s called a Beatdown Situation. 

6.  Bacon beats Fries

Personally, Fries kills Bacon in all categories.  Bacon is great in breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Bacon is versatile and  tasty.  You can add as a great condiment as well.  Bacon is a wonderful all-around performer.  However, Fries is a once-in-a-lifetime performer.  Can do all the functions bacon does, but more diverse, versatile, and can handle a variety of dipping sauces.  Also, it doesn’t want to discriminate; it can go skinny or obese.  You can’t stop the Fries.

The state of Colorado did not agree.   The Tracy Maniacs do not agree with the election result in Colorado.

That is all, hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and during these times, you must protect the house.

Live-blogging Pushing Daisies 3 and Obama

9:01 PM:  Fred Willard is on next week, I hope.  SHI*s-TZU.  Okay, back to baseball, basketball, and politics.

8:59 PM:  It’s odd that Ned wears black, while the others are wearing colorful outfits and he has the hot date.  Man, does Stephen Root have to be the killer?

8:58 PM:  Wilbon is getting some pudding tonight.  Ned facing his family.

8:57 PM:  Trying to hide sticky buns, chubby?  How dare you?!!!  Of course, I prefer egg rolls.

8:54 PM:  Wilbon, think ice cream.  You know what, Simone is your bitch.

8:51 PM:  It had to be the chunky Asian who wants to be known.

8:50 PM:  I wishing the Phillies would kill this inning, so we can focus on other stuff.

8:49 PM:  Asian on Asian crime.  NOOOO!!!!!!!

8:44 PM:  Ocean’s 11, sadly including Ned, the Porno Cowboy.

8:43 PM:  A little off-topic, The Phils began the middle of the 6th with a double.  Hello championship, Philly.

8:40 PM:  Chuck and Olive playing Asian waitresses…Eh.

8:38 PM:  Ned putting his foot down on his dysfunctional family.  I agree, you don’t trust magicians.

8:36 PM:  There’s a dim sum restaurant and a noodle restaurant.  Can you merge to make an awesome Asian restaurant?

8:33 PM:  Who’s killing all these Asians? 

8:30 PM:  Perfect ending at an 8 PM slot for Obama.  Big crowds, documentary-like, making leeways.  Great infomercial for the campaign.

8:27 PM:  Oh, live coverage of Obama in Florida.  That’s a nice surprise and very effective.  And when did he become Hillary Clinton?  On the other side, someone got caught.

8:26 PM:  Twins.  Ned has half-brothers.

8:25 PM:  Just get some pudding tonight, Wilbon.

8:20 PM:  Joe Biden is still listed as “U.S. Senator – Delaware”?  How about a converted effort and say “Future Vice President.”

8:18 PM:  Food gambling?  I got myself a new business plan!!!  I wonder if there is a fantasy food league or snackdown (Shout out to the Mr. Tony message board).

8:16 PM:  Illegal gambling.  Don’t they know the Chinese are good, but not great as the Vietnamese.  You know the World Series of Poker?  Full of my distant relatives.

8:15 PM:  The Cluepad.  I like it.  What we’re missing is the Mystery Machine.

8:13 PM:  I feel for you, Wilbon, it’s very addictive.

8:12 PM:  This infomercial is for the undecidied.  I know his policies, so back to Daisies.  More Asian food talk.

8:10 PM:  Back to Obama, using cards, but I want visuals.  Can he do it in Powerpoint?  It worked for Gore.

8:08 PM:  Nobody shall mess with other precious delicacy…The pressure cooker.

8:07 PM:  Asian cooking keeps everyone alive.

8:05 PM:  Simone and Michael Wilbon making chocolate tonight.

8:04 PM:  As expected, Obama giving the economy speech.  Seems like your fell-good story.  As for Daisies, I want some dim sum.

8:02 PM:  Hell yeah, Jimmy James is in the house.  I love NewsRadio.  Of course, he’s known for Office Space, but get the DVD collection of Newsradio now.

8:01 PM:  Of course Ned loses on a double 00.

8:00 PM:  Here come my fingers going out.

7:53 PM:  I’m going to try both blog both events.  Anyone know I can see the Obama infomercial online?

Live-blogging: Pushing Daisies 2

9:01 PM:  Okay, back to the World Series (Phils leading 2-0) while others going to Rachel Maddow.  See ya later.

9:00 PM:  Asians and Wilbon’s crush malenga.  Now, when is it suppose to be on?!!!

8:59 PM:  About time!!!

8:56 PM:  Wilbon getting a tender moment…Awwww.

8:54 PM:  The bat?  I want cricket action.

8:51 PM:  Does it seem eerie that a Trojan killed the star quarterback, his “friend”, and the girl?

8:50 PM:  I knew the name Buddy Amicus seems trouble.

8:47 PM:  I now who needs a friend:  Jose Canseco and Larry Johnson.

8:42 PM:  I just realize, Buddy Amicus is not a good name for an athlete.  Although, Buddy Crutchfield takes the cake.

8:40 PM:  Nerds are wondering why they weren’t stuck with these ladies.

8:39 PM:  Smear campaign?  Drink up peeps.

8:37 PM:  Oh no, a neagtive ad from Obama.  McCain’s campaign will be very mad negative ads are running on such a family show.

8:34 PM:  I see where Wilbon got strong hands from?  So weak that someone shorter than him is dominating the fight.  It ruins his manliness.  Now, where’s your manpurse?

8:32 PM:  Also I want to be another friend:  Mary-Louise Parker

8:30 PM:  Banjo playing dog name Butterscotch.  Dog related to Dum-Dee Dum the Dog?

8:27 PM:  From Dan Levy’s twitter, the introduction of the World Series was pitiful.  May I say, start the World Series at 7 PM?  People want to watch the end, not the beginning.

8:26 PM:  Paging PETA, a lot of dead animals are in Randy and Joe’s apartment.

8:25 PM:  Ned made up with cheesy lines with meat pies.  Ick.

8:22 PM:  It’s former World Heavyweight Champion, David Arquette.  Seems appropriate he’ll be on this show.

8:21 PM:  I’m sorry, celebrity stunts just don’t do anymore.  Have a story or people will flock.  Okay, have a story that is likable but not too whimisical.

8:19 PM:  It’s odd that Wilbon’s wife left him and money was rolling, yet Dave Chapelle turn down $50 million and the wife sticks with him.  Just to throw that out there.

8:17 PM:  Did Dell buy this episode?

8:16 PM:  Wow, that’s very disturbing hugging a machine-hugger.  You know they have smaller versions of it.

8:15 PM:  Here’s who i want to be my friend:  Sabrina Lloyd.  Read her bio and you know why.

8:13 PM:  My Best Friend, Inc.  has rainbow colors.  Is there any indication who owns it?

8:12 PM:  Friend for hire?  Live MySpace but masturbation in public.

8:09 PM:  Okay, ABC did not promote this week’s episode for some reason and missed it.  Dude, your safe now that the Tampa Bay Rays are in the World Series and people are not going to be watching.  We’re close to the coffin for this show.  Now, I know next week, Obama will be taken over this timeslot and you know I won’t be doing this.

8:08 PM:  Squirting water dead guy.  I wish for a wet t-shirt contest and what I mean is only to Chuck.

8:06 PM:  People rejected Lil’ Gum Shoe because of a complex storyline.  I totally agree, they should of gotten the Knight Rider route.  You know that show was picked up.

8:04 PM:  I got Pigby on the Digby vs. Pigby main event.

8:03 PM:  See what you get with those cheesy lines, Pieboy?

8:02 PM:  Backstory of Michael Wilbon.  NIce.  But, he has a white mother?

Live-blogging: Pushing Daisies

This is my desperate attempt to bring new viewers for Pushing Daisies.  Let’s see how it goes:

9:01 PM:  That was fun.  Ok, go back to whatever you’re watching, but I’m not going to blog about Private Practice.

9:00 PM:  Next week:  Pre-debate with Pushing Daisies and guys acts as priests and nuns.   Add a rabbi and let’s start this party.

8:59 PM:  Not the best of endings, but aren’t they a cute couple?!

8:56 PM:  How can Ned throw a fastball that accurate?  Wilbon wants a hug-out.  Sweet!  Good ol’ Mayor McCheese.

8:54 PM:  The acrobat did it.  Guy can’t get a job at Cirque Du Soleil or he wasn’t talented enough?

8:51 PM:  When you are worried about what you did.  Go to a prize storage.  Genius.

8:47 PM:  A trailer is cutting very close for Ned and Chuck to touch.  Does the director know about positioning?

8:45 PM:  Chuck wearing plaid pants and this is the emotional scene.  I’m gonna cry.

8:43 PM:  I hope that was Vanilla Vodka Lily poured in her oatmeal.  The lighting on Olive is very creepy.

8:40 PM:  I wonder there’s a LeapFrog book about Pardon the Interruption?

8:38 PM:  I’m worried about Ned; still thinking about Chuck and can’t stand it.  No wonder studies say parents need to develop vocabulary in the first few years for the kid to succeed.

8:35 PM:  If you get an envelope of 12 free pies, it’s definitely a fake, unless you’re Dorothy Letterman.

8:34 PM:  Ok Lily is Chuck’s mother, Charles Charles is not Chuck’s father.  Thank goodness it didn’t go to creeptown.

8:29 PM:  No wonder clowns are scary for kids;  they become worse and worse with their make-up.  I blame KISS.

8:28 PM:  Of course you need a waitress to cover the Pie Hole.  So many references for Saturday Night Live.

8:26 PM:  I just realize, this show is similar to my other favorite show, Psych.  Gifted white guy, straight-up black guy.  I want 80s references.  Oh well, Wonderfalls references will do.

8:24 PM:  Triple Berry pie…Yum in the tum.  I love variety in my food.  Minced pie is my favorite pie, you get the whole kitchen sink of fruits.

8:22 PM:  It’s a crime to miss Samantha Who? Don’t tell that to Helio Castroneves.

8:19 PM:  Chuck really needs to have glasses.  If you see side to side of Tina Fey, she looks solid without glasses, but without it, she defies the laws of gravity.  There’s a hug difference.  Trust me.

8:17 PM:  No popcorn or carnival rides?  It this Carnivale all over again?

8:15 PM: Great church films:  Keeping the Faith, The Apostle.   That’s the only one I can think of.

8:13 PM:  We’re going to the circus to find the clown.  It’s Sideshow Bob, Damnit!!!

8:11 PM:  Kelly Ripa doing an appliance commercial.  She use to be the hottest daytime talk show, but Bonnie Hunt is coming close.

8:09 PM:  Mime mystery.  Gee someone must of really been jealous someone took that area.  It’s The Wire all over again.

8:06 PM:  Nice poetry and the Michael Wilbon quote, “Who wants to make some money?”  Sadly, everyone wants it.  Here’s the easy way;  get crack and convert it to government paper.

8:04 PM:  Michael Wilbon knits and tries to do his job.  Looks like the real Wilbon while watching 7 shows at once and typing.

8:02 PM:  Anna Friel in vibrant orange.  Nice.

8:01 PM:  The Piemaker kept Tweety and killed Woody Woodpecker.

8:00 PM: Good, no “previously on…”  Seems pretentious.

7:58 PM: 

Something New…

If you read this blog, I’ve done some standard posts on anything to my life, current events, and potpourri.  Now, I’m going to do next week that I wanted to try:  Live-blogging.

Now, you’re wondering what I’m are going to live-blog about:

• The second presidential debate?
• The start of the League Championship Series?
• The Washington Redskins- Philadelphia Eagles game?
• HR Talent Management Summit?
• Cricket?

None (I don’t have enough money for the summit since it’s in Las Vegas, and I would easily gone bankrupt in one day and add to that the economic woes; not a good move for me). 

Next Wednesday, you will see me doing live-blogging during an episode of Pushing Daisies.  The reasons I want to do this are twofold:

1.   It’s my favorite show of all the major broadcast networks and people really need to pay attention to this one-of-a-kind show.

2.   The ratings this week were not looking good and might be cancelled in the next few weeks and I don’t want it to have the same fate as my other favorite ABC show that got cancelled quickly, The Knights of Prosperity.

Most people say the show is too cute, whimsical, too fairy tale for their taste, and too weird.  All of those reasons are true, but beyond the setting and its storybook style, the characters are real and fun.  Yes, you get Ned (Lee Pace) and Chuck (Anna Friel) and their dance of working around their situation, Olive (Kristen Chenoweth) admiring of Ned, but hates to be in the middle, the crazy aunts, and my favorite character of the show, Emerson Cod (Michael Wilbon…I mean Chi McBride).

I hope this live-blogging works out for this show, but let me be honest, it probably won’t work and the show will be cancelled sooner than later.  This means I’ll probably have 2 to 3 live-bloggings left for the show.  I encourage comments during this live blog and if you’re worried about spoilers and don’t want to know what’s going to happen, then watch other TV shows on the internet;  I don’t want people watching their competition on Wednesdays. 

If it goes well, I might continue to do this with other events.  My guess is people will talk to the FCC and get me booted out.  I don’t blame them.
