Thursday Dish Leftovers

Okay, I can't help myself. There are a few things from today I MUST talk about. I am waiting for our final pages to be uploaded to proof, so even though I'm "working" there's been a LOT of downtime today. Hope you're still hungry...



1. ABC SUCKS! I can't believe they cancelled "Pushing Daisies" today! That really ticks me off. Yet another show that'll break my heart. They just finished up the last of their 13 episodes and it will end on a cliffhanger. There's talk of a comic book or a movie, but it's doubtful. I'm NEVER going to get to know how it all ends! I guess the only bright side is that means Kristin Chenoweth might be open for that Broadway reprisal of Glinda in "Wicked." And another silver lining, my TV To Do's are dwindling quite a bit. I'm not watching nearly as many shows as I started back in September.



2. What makes up for the bad "Daisies" news is that the Fox Searchlight reportedly inked a movie deal for the "Arrested Development" movie! It's a GO!!! This is like early Christmas! There's supposedly one hold out that hasn't signed on yet, which I'm certain is Michael Cera (George Michael - or most of you know him as Bleeker from "Juno"). I can't imagine the movie without him, but it's good to know that they are going to proceed with or without the hold out. If you haven't watched it yet, now is the time to catch up on this HILARIOUS show! Like "30 Rock" - it takes a while to get into. It's got the same mix of silly and smart. A lot of the jokes you won't catch until after or until they recur episodes later. It's not really for viewers with a conventional sense of humor, so I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. But, I can't RAVE enough.

3. My REAL obsession (which I know it's hard to believe since I appear to obsessed with many things) is "Lost". Oh, I can't even tell you how much I ADORE this show. The best part is that John is just as obsessed, so we can share in the mania. There's a GREAT new trailer with an awesome "The Fray" song "You Found Me" which has old footage with some new sneak peaks. If you heart "Lost" like I do, you NEED to check this out.



This is REALLY it for this week!
