Hmm, Pushing Daisies was fantastic.. not sure if I'll like this though. Will have to wait and see.

Pilot was utter utter tosh, can't see it getting a greenlight.

Although on the basis of it being gash, it's run and run ....

Jerry O'douchebag, enough said really. Also Eddie, he's awful trying to act seriously, I have no idea why he started doing US tv, or more to the point, why US tv started paying him to be in shows.

Not likely to be picked up at such high costs, apparently $14m was spent on the pilot episode alone. They already refused to order more episodes a while back due to that and it didn't seem to do particularly well in the viewing figures they use so i doubt that will change.

All that being said, i still liked it but would have preferred different/better actors as Herman, Freddie and Marilyn.

Eddie Izzard as grampa was great the rest not so much

Just got around to watching this, I thought it was great entertainment and Eddie Izzard stole the show. His performance alone is worth watching it.
