I do hope people watched this tonight, cause this is truly something not to be missed. I probably haven't been this excited about a show since I started watching Joss's stuff. The writing, acting, everything is amazingly well done. Do give this a look if you get a chance.

Sat riveted and loving it!
Best thing since Joss.
I'm in tv heaven this year...
Pushing Daisies
Heroes, Bionic Woman, Chuck( I love that show too!)
Life
Journeyman is tempting me even...gotta jazz it up a bit though.
Does this mean that the tv environment is changing back to interesting again?? Would Joss consider a return to tv with the "mainstreaming" of so many genre shows?
*crosses fingers and enjoys the good that's here now!*

It's Bryan Fuller, who's worked on Heroes, Wonderfalls, and Dead Like Me. This show reminds me of the feel of Wonderfalls, mixed a bit with the movie Big Fish. Plus, it has the guy who played Jaye Tyler's brother in Wonderfalls.
Very fun show. I'm in.

It's amazing. Is it just me is t.v. actually getting better this season (Heroes, Chuck, Life...). I really hope that people watch this, because I would hate to be heartbroken about intelligent t.v. going off the air.
All hail to Joss and his impact on tv!!!!
I love my captain.

Watched it and liked it. I'm glad to see Lee Pace ( Wonderfalls ) back on the screen, though I do miss his old show. ( Thank the maker for the DVD ) *sigh*
The concept is ever aggrivating, though. The dude can 't even as much as TOUCH his life long crush. This " Chuck " is adorable, btw. 
This is like Monk on steroids! There's got to be a way they can rid him of this curse/ gift. Maybe they can hook up during a full solar eclips? That'd be worth flying around the world for!!! 
Also, how cool is it that Ellen Green (Audrey - Little Shop of Horrors ) is one of the sisters ? 
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Saw it last night. CTV shows it a day earlier on Tuesdays. I was a little on the fence with this show, but after last night I'm in love with the show. And even though Bryan Fuller is in charge, I would like to point out that the pilot was directed by none other than Barry Sonnenfeld. And it does seem very much like a Barry Sonnenfeld movie (the gorgeous and somewhat cartoony visuals, the deadpan rat-a-tat dialogue, and the pervasive black humor).
It's weird. I think Barry should actually stick with only directing TV pilots, because his pilots (PUSHING DAISIES, THE TICK, NOTES FROM THE UNDERBELLY) are far more funny and entertaining than the movies he's made since MEN IN BLACK ten years ago. BIG TROUBLE and MIB2 were big let-downs. WILD WILD WEST is without a doubt the most awful movie ever made (it's my litmus test for rating bad movies). And RV was kind of funny, but not really.
And yeah, this years TV season is big for me as well. I'm watching DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (it's one of two guilty pleasures I have), CHUCK, HEROES, JOURNEYMAN, K-VILLE, BEAUTY AND THE GEEK (the other one), REAPER, PUSHING DAISIES, KID NATION, BIONIC WOMAN, DIRTY SEXY MONEY (I'll watch Peter Krause in anything), LIFE, MY NAME IS EARL, 30 ROCK, SCRUBS, THE OFFICE, SURVIVOR, ER and a bunch of other cable shows I need to get caught up on.

I DVR'd it. I'm watching it now. I'm 15 minutes into the show, and I'm already in love.
This does not bode well.
Also, does Pushing Daisies remind anyone else of Amelie? (The narration, the coloring, the camera movement?)
ETS: Finished it! My god, could Ned and Chuck be any more adorable? That little hand-holding thing was so sweet! Yay for this new show!
"Can you, for a moment, imagine how depressing it is to teach one thousand years of masculine ineptitude? Why do you think there are so few women historians? I'll tell you why. Because history is not such a frolic for women as it is for men... History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. History is women following behind with a bucket and a mop." - Alan Bennett, "The History Boys"

Yeah, I have to admit that it does. I was thinking more of Dr. Seuss mets Dead Like Me. But I was really reminded of that Robot Chicken sketch "Screw Youssical The Musical" without the sex.
Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Dr Seuss was what I was thinking too! But in a good way.
