2023/04/20

Spin off your network's most popular show? Makes sense. Spin off your network's most popular show with characters who have made only a few appearances, and they weren't memorable? It's a disaster waiting to happen. Top of the Heap was the bottom of the barrel material.

There’s an old saying in Hollywood: “Write what you know.” Two Hollywood writers did that & after that didn’t work, they turned it into a family sitcom. That didn’t work either. See what happens when four actors spend 19 weeks… “Going Places”.

This Sunday is Easter and we're not talking about cutesy-wootsy bunnies this year?! We're talking about someone who can revive the dead. Pushing Daisies was a critical darling but it couldn't come back from a fate worse than the death of a scripted show in 2008.
