Dead Like Me: TV Guide News

A dark comedy about a glum 18-year-old college dropout who becomes a Grim Reaper after she's hit by falling debris (a toilet seat, to be precise) from Russia's MIR space station. When not `gathering' the souls of people about to die, she toils at a dead-end temp-placement service in the corporal world.

Ask Matt | 11/5/2007
I am trying very hard to be a fan of Pushing Daisies. I thought series creator Bryan Fuller's Dead Like Me was just magnificent. There was not a character on that series who I didn't love, even the actors who had never appealed to me previously. While there are some elements in Daisies I find very amusing, there are so many positive reviews out there that I can't help but wonder if I'm watching the same show. Here's my beef: When I read the show's concept, I thought the idea of the girl he ... read more
Ask Matt | 9/17/2007
I've been amazed when people have said in previous Ask Matt questions that they don't want to start watching a show because of the chance it might be canceled. I've lived through the agony of having shows I've cared for canceled. I was crushed when Dark Angel ended mid-story. I was in agony when Firefly ended prematurely and stunned when Farscape was canceled after a gut-wrenching cliff-hanger. And there are many others: Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Veronica Mars, Drive. Doubtless there will be .. read more

Have you seen any other episodes beyond the pilot of Pushing Daisies? I watched it last night ? it's absolutely fantastic! But I'm worried it might be too quirky and non-mainstream to get a big enough audience to satisfy ABC, as was the fate of Bryan Fuller's previous Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me. I've seen promos during other ABC shows and have read that it's been screened at various functions and festivals recently, but probably only in larger cities like New York and L.A. It seems ABC is ... read more
A Push for Pushing Daisies | Roush Dispatch | 7/26/2007
Could the third time be the charm? Being an eternal optimist when it comes to TV shows I love, I certainly hope so. For the third season in a row, the show I’ve picked as my favorite pilot of the fall season is on ABC, and once again, after two consecutive seasons of my pick failing to make the grade, this show’s projected success is far from a slam dunk. But let me tell you why I believe, despite all logical skepticism to the contrary, that the dazzling “forensic fairy tale” called Pushing Daisies has a shot at making it.First, here’s why my earlier picks didn’t pan out. For one thing, both shows — Invasion in 2005, The Nine in 2006 — had the mixed fortune of being scheduled directly after Lost. (As we’ve learned, the Lost viewing experience is so intense and its fan base so obsessed that it’s pure folly to put any show, especially a demanding one, after Lost.) Both shows were also exceedingly dark in tone, whereas Pushing... read more
