Dear reader,
(Yes, the jig is up. I see you read this site.)
Anyway, dear reader, I am sure you watched Pushing Daisies tonight. Well, because you also loved Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.
No need for IMDB links. You have them bookmarked.
Did you notice the name of the town?
You saw it too? Couer d' Couers
Yes, that is wrong on two levels. First, spelled correctly it would be: Coeur de Coeurs
And we both know that final "s" isn't needed. That's not correct French grammar. The show translated an English idiom directly to French to make Heart of Hearts sound exotic.
And still didn't get it correct.
Oh, how I loved Wonderfalls!
Didn't watch Dead Like Me because I didn't/don't have cable. I can't watch Pushing Daisies because I'm pretty sure it will die of the same tragic TV disease that killed Wonderfalls: too quirky and interesting to pull in enough ratings. I just can't go through that again.

Caught a bit of Pushing Daisies cos nothing else on TV and after about 6 days of 15-20 hours on building my blog (don't ask why), and not eating much either, and mesmerized/disgusted by the fires in my hometown, I tried it out.
I had the TV muted, but I immediately recognized the face of the mightiest voice of Broadway (Wicked, the Apple Tree and more) in the tiniest little blonde body. Kristin Chenoweth, who has often talked about her big voice and petite size.
Anyway, as I caught a few minutes here and there, I immediately thought of the BEST cable/satellite show, better than 6 Ft Under or anything. DEAD LIKE ME was astounding! I Googled Daisies, and sure enough, Bryan Fuller was behind both. Never heard of Wonderfalls.
I will never understand why Dead Like Me disappeared and Weeds thrives. I gotta make enough money to buy DVDs of these shows. As if I have time! LOL! Dead Like Me: an amazing show.
Hey, I just read on wikipedia they are made a direct-to-DVD movie and might bring it back. I don't mind if Mandy Patinkin can't rejoin them. He was so irritating, but the rest of the cast so delightful. Very deep, moving, funny, touching stories!
