Yeaaa! I hope the final one has some resolution. (Ideally Ned and Chuck will discover that due to some undisclosed rule of his “ability” the “they’ll die again” thing only lasts for 24 hours and they could have been doing it like monkeys this whole time.

That’s cool. Eli Stone was another canceled show with an unknown date for the final eps. So I’ve been catching them out of Ireland, where they are showing.

Good news for the US fans, that. Even better news for UK fans is that ITV is also showing the final three episodes - I think the first is due to air on Friday the 17th.

Who I totally didn’t recognize as Audrey from _Little Shop of Horrors_ until she sang _Morning Has Broken_ and the voice registered.

Putting a quote contrasting the end of \*Pushing Daisies \*and the beginning of _Surviving Suburbia_ (shudder) is just plain cruel. There is no justice in this world. ☹

Finally! They’ve been sitting on those episodes for months! I was convinced I’d have to wait until the DVD came out to see them!

mmmmm…Kristin Chenoweth… 😃

That’s great! I hear though that the “closure” was done with editing and not reshoots, I wonder how that will play out. I also wonder if the Eli and Money episodes will have any kind of closure (who killed Trip’s Dad?)!

I just saw the Eli ending. It does get a certain sort of closure.

Do what I just did - set an alert on your computer’s calendar for the 1st Saturday the show you’re catching up on returns. I set them for Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money both.
