Daisies Meets John Deere

This is a sad day. Despite valiant efforts by dozens of blogs and web sites to rally the faithful, ABC has finally decided to kill “Pushing Daisies.” The press release doesn’t actually use the word ‘canceled,’ but PD’s odds of return or survival make the proverbial snowball’s look like a sure thing.
This is one of [...]

Daisies Needs YOU!

It was Mark Twain who said, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” And apparently the same applies to our beloved Pushing Daisies. Sources tell me PD has not received the last rights and been canceled - Yet. But ABC will be using tonight’s episode, and possibly next week’s as the final and critical [...]

ABC Touches Daisies Twice

The news is not good. According to those who are advised on such things, Pushing Daisies is effectively dead. Rumors of its demise have been rife for weeks, but Daisies completed its current 13-episode order this week and ABC has made no effort to order more, which is usually a bad sign.
The only viable hope [...]

WGA - Day 5. TGIF !!

After yesterday’s malevolent demands by the AMPTP that every word a Writer may have even contemplated committing to paper belonged to them and must be surrendered immediately or incur a Fatwah, we reach another low-point in the course of any strike; The Opportunists.
The picket lines on the East Coast are rapidly becoming clogged and in [...]

Day 4 - The Knives Come Out…

This should be titled, “Mediation Won’t Work…So Let’s Try Fear”…
Members of the Western arm of the WGA whose unproduced scripts were shopped or bought by a Studio now have until tomorrow [Friday] to give those scripts to the Union for their ‘Script Validation’ program. This is an attempt to keep track of possible rogue writers, [...]

Day 3 - Merry Christmas…You’re Fired!

Now it’s getting ugly. When Writers don’t work, the shows don’t happen. And the fall-out is becoming depressing – All the folks who work the cameras, lighting, sound, make up, wardrobe, catering and a dozen other fields are getting caught in the net. And some are getting fired. The scripts might not come…but the [...]

WGA, Day Two - Already it’s a Sequel !

It seems the Writers strike is already bearing some fruit. First, the Producers are getting worried [That's good.] Second, some of the most mediocre examples of the television medium will vanish, or fade to re-runs as their scripts disappear. ‘Desperate Housewives,” “Back to You,” “‘Til Death,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Old Christine,” and others [...]

WGA - Day One…

Well, it’s on. As of 12.01am PT today, WGA members downed tools and formed a picket line. This could be long, and will certainly be both costly and acrimonious. But the political camps are already seizing on the strike as a platform for their own campaigns; Sen. Barack Obama, [D-Ill.,] already declared his position and [...]

WGA - All the Way!…

Well, it’s official; The Writers will go on strike from early Monday after their negotiators recommended a walkout over royalties. A move that could shutter late-night TV shows immediately. The WGA vote was unanimous and the strike starts from 12:01 a.m. PT on Monday.
The walkout will be the first in 20 years. The last one [...]
