Fuck, what is wrong with people?!
seriously I’m depressed.
The fact that PUSHING DAISIES and CHUCK are now essentially doomed (unless there is a drastic ratings turnaround sometime soon) has me wondering if I should just give up TV altogether. (After THE SHIELD ends its run, of course … oh, and LOST, too …) Nothing good ever lasts because the rest of this fucking country would rather tune into DANCING WITH THE STARS.
To be fair, Fringe started off pretty…iffy and yet the ratings picked up big-time to the point of it getting a full 22-episode order.
Let’s give Daisies (and Chuck) another week or two…
They picked up because it got House as its lead-in in week 2.
Anywho, didn’t really dig this episode much. Seemed a bit flat to me.
It was a good premiere but I thought they were going to do something with the revelation that Piemaker accidentally killed Chuck’s dad from the end of season one. Emerson Cod is my hero.
I cheered when Piemaker said he called Happy Time to get the temp job.
Well Ned was originally supposed to be introduced in DEAD LIKE ME, so I guess it makes sense. I’m interested in seeing a Mandy Patinkin walk-on seeing as how he has free time these days.
Anyone else notice the constant background music in this episode? I think it only stopped twice in the whole episode and each time was brief (when Olive screamed, then it kicked back in). I could still hear the dialogue it was just a bit…annoying. Became one of those things that once I noticed it it pissed me off more and more.
Was it like this last season?
Maybe I’m the only one, but I though the Season Two premiere was awful. Just awful.
The banter and production design remain excellent, but when an episode’s main storyline (the murder investigation) and secondary plot (Chuck’s real mother and Chenowith’s decision to run off to a nunnery) are both incoherent messes, there’s a real problem.
Hopefully it was just one misfire.
It wasn’t great but, like pretty much every other show that was new last year, I’m chalking the inconsistencies up to basically needing a new pilot.
I saw the clown car gag coming, but I still laughed my ass off at the execution.
Oh, yeah. It was still great. 15 damn clowns. And them carrying the one on stilts? Jesus. So grim and hilarious at the same time. This was a great episode.
“I could throw up a little in my mouth and it wouldn’t taste in different.”
The epiphany light staying behind here even after the epiphany.
“You did not just say that.”
“Do you know how heads works?”
“I’m making contraptions.”
“If this van’s a rockin’, I’m being murdered.”
The commercial break in the middle of a dirty limerick. I love this show so much.
Very funny episode. Love the screwball comedy fast paced dialogue style of this show.
Hey! A return to form! Either this or the car-maker episode is my favorite. Funny, moved the storyline along with Chuck and Ned’s romance … excellent.
I have to add: If I weren’t already madly TV crushing on Anna Friel, that grin and bounce she does when they walk into the prize tent would’ve sealed it.
“The mimes just pulled up in a trailer, and they ain’t talking.”
Damn near died.
Loved that episode. Loved it to death. Really really funny and sad at the same time.
The clowns killed me. Such a great setting for this universe.
I want to live in that universe. Even though everybody is a killer.
Oh, and I loved “Father Dowling, Father Mulcahy and Sister Christian.”

Ha! Ha!
Pigby liked the warbling sound that the nice smelling thing that fed her made.
Nicky ran off with some clown.
A real clown?
Love what’s there! Love it! LOVE IT!
