Random Musings: PUSHING DAISIES, GOSSIP GIRL & PRIVATE PRACTICE

PUSHING DAISIES has gone to the dogs. But this slightly obsessed dog lover [meet MAC] and self-proclaimed TV Addict isn’t complaining. In fact, thanks to some time with TV’s cutest dog [Digby], a surprisingly surprising BIG LOVE inspired mystery and some brilliant one-liners courtesy of Emerson [well really, a WGA writer who’s unfortunately on strike] I’d go as far to say that last night’s helping of PUSHING DAISIES was my favorite serving since the pilot.

Another reason everything’s coming up DAISIES. The show’s final scene. In case you missed it — the awww-shucks scene took place in a fictional town that GILMORE GIRLS fans should be very familiar with. Which bring us to the obvious question. When [if] the WGA strike ever ends, would Lauren Graham not make the best PUSHING DAISIES guest star ever? Are 6 years of firing off lighting fast Amy Sherman-Palladino dialogue not the ideal training ground for The Pie Hole?

Question for GOSSIP GIRL’S Serena. Does being like, the hottest most popular girl in all of the Upper West Side mean you’ve never watched TV? I mean seriously. What are you doing letting Dan hang out with old ‘friend’ Vanessa? Have you not seen even a minute of THE OC? THE HILLS? 90210? Allowing Dan and Vanessa to remain friends will only lead to trouble. Don’t believe me? Just ask Ryan, Marissa and Oliver. Or Brenda, Kelly and Dylan.

I would have been far more invested in last night’s horrific PRIVATE PRACTICE supermarket hold-up if I hadn’t already seen it on every other show on television. ER, 24, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, CHICAGO HOPE. Memo to Shonda Rhimes — I’m this close to changing doctors.
