Pushing Daisies; one of ITV’s most popular American Imports. Despite its complete wackiness, it is one of my favorite TV shows. I love the way the stories unfold, the language they use and the twists and turns of each weeks plot. Now however, the show has ended; ABC has put it on the shelf, mid season.

13 episodes have been made, only 10 of which have actually been shown. Apparently, episode 13 won’t provide a narrative ending to the show. Will Ned and Chuck ever be able to touch??

Perhaps the show will return in the future; who knows, even ITV may commission it. I certainly hope so! My friday evening will be that little bit emptier without Pushing Daisies.

Here is a clip of the show:

Ugly Betty has hit off a new series over in America, and I can’t wait for it to come Transatlantic.

Ugly Betty is one of my favourite American imports, (along with Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond).

So what makes is so good? It’s a hard question, and not everyone would agree on it’s brilliance. But I’m sure it’s the mix of comedy and the spirit of support for Betty that the program just inspires.

Of course, some of the storylines are far from belief, and everything from the clothes tot eh set design is garish, but still. That actually seems to be a bonus.

So continue Ugly Betty! I’m rooting for you, and hurry up over here to England!
