I'm expecting it to collapse hard once the second season starts.

Good timing - I just posted it two minutes ago.

I don't begrudge the show its existence, I just want it to shuffle off somewhere that I don't have to deal with it anymore.

I'm sure that's exactly what Puzo was thinking when he wrote it - the intro to The Family talks a lot about how much he loved the stories of the Borgia family. I see The Godfather as a melding of both the Borgias and the Five Families.

The fact that they haven't given him the command is really starting to annoy me - it's generating conflict for the sake of having conflict. I'm trying to be charitable and assuming Alexander's withholding it because he still hasn't forgiven Cesare for Juan.

So we'll read your reviews. Because you can take it.

"Les Chappell wishes the show the best. He’ll be getting drunk."

I loved Alexander's line: "That wandering Jew has done more for our cause than the entire consistory."

I love Pushing Daisies to death, and I'm interested to see how this stacks against it by the end.

All of Fuller's show are supposed to exist in the same world. I'll be talking about that a lot next week.

Dhavernas has an air about her that says Jaye doesn't really believe all the bullshit she shovels. I never believed that George gave a shit about anything.

I do admit, I haven't seen all of Dead Like Me - I made it a bit more than half through the first season before losing my taste for the show. I didn't like George as a character and I could see the gears grinding as they tried to put the show together once Fuller left. Enough people have talked about it since that I'm…

I could have sworn I heard someone in the show saying it was in Canada - I must have been susceptible because I knew it was shot in Canada. A retraction will be filed next week.

I'll mention something in the Stray Observations next week.

I giggled when I realized that. Fuller loves alliteration and rhyming, I just didn't pick up on this one immediately.

The annoying aspects of Daisy were also a big reason for turning off it, because I quite liked Betty.

Several people have been saying that. I'll have to give it another go.

Firefly was treated like royalty in comparison to what they did with Wonderfalls. And given the shoddy treatment Firefly got, that's saying a lot.

The "tapering off" comment was meant more in regards to the viewership than the quality. That said, I do think the second season of Pushing Daisies is a much weaker entity - I don't think the show ever fully recovered from the writers' strike cutting the first season short, and the second wound up accelerating and…

This is something of a personal prejudice on my part I admit, as I only made it a little more than halfway through the first season before checking out. You could see the gears adjusting and grinding with Fuller's departure - the transition between Betty and Daisy in particular really bothered me. And I never liked…
