The Cult of Lincoln

And Veronica Mars is a thing of the past. A beautiful, brilliant, snarky, clever, prematurely canceled thing of the past. And I want to kill both the CW for ending in in favor of utter dreck and Rob Thomas for ending it that way.

The CW is made of fail. Their new schedule makes baby Jesus, baby Moses, baby Mohammed, baby Buddha, baby Shiva, and baby Relic of a Primitive and Out-Moded Belief System on a Crutch cry.


So. Last year, I watched:
Heroes -- renewed (was there ever any question?) and getting a 6-episode miniseries spinoff thing
Studio 60 -- canceled
House -- renewed
Veronica Mars -- canceled
Psych -- renewed, returns July 13th
The Dresden Files -- no word yet; we have until mid-June to find out
Battlestar Galactica -- not back until 2008
Drive -- axed within like 10 days of its premiere; bite me, Fox.

Monday:
9PM: Heroes (NBC)

Tuesday:
9PM: House (FOX)
9PM: Will watch the pilot of Reaper (CW) because it’s Kevin Smith

Wednesday:
8PM: Pushing Daisies (ABC), because Bryan Fuller is a genius (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Heroes)
9PM: Bionic Woman? (NBC) Could go either way. Will watch the pilot.

Friday:
10PM: Psych (USA)

Plus if my friend gets on Beauty and the Geek, I’ll have to watch that. :D

Then with 2008 will come Battlestar Galactica, plus The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which sounds iffy, but I'll watch the pilot for Summer Glau.


Overall, I'm most excited about Pushing Daisies. It's not on Fox, which is always a good sign! Here's the blurb:
Pushing Daisies is a love story about a pie-baking young man with a very special gift... the ability to return dead people briefly back to life with just a simple touch -- enabling him to help a P.I. crack murder cases by asking victims to name their killers. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, writer-producer Bryan Fuller, and the producers of Fish blend romance, crime procedural and high-concept fantasy to create a fairytale in the spirit of Amelie, Stranger than Fiction, and Chocolat.
Yes, please!

Have you seen the trailer promo for Pushing Daisies yet? It's both beautiful and entirely squee-worthy, but then again it is Brian Fuller so that should be a given, yes?

what a let down the veronica mars finale was. i freakin LOVE that show. how could they end it like that? whether you knew it was the last season or not....it was a lame way to end a season finale, let alone a series finale.

LOVE studio 60. at least they are playing the rest of the eps.

yeah, PUSHING DAISIES looks cool. fuller behind it? i'm there. we're gonna try to get him back on to talk HEROES finale and see if we can get any scoop on the new show.
 
The Veronica Mars finale was bad? HOW COULD THEY DO THAT???

Poor V-boo.
 
I thought I was the only one who watched Drive. I liked it! And it had Melanie Lynskey, who is ... I dunno ... Awesome!

Save Veronica Mars for only $1.79 (no guarantees it will work though).
