Pushing Daisies 1.1: Pie-lette

So far, we're off to a fairly strong (and very strange) start. This Pie-lette has a lot of quirk, but it also has a lot of questions, which we hope will get answered in a satisfaying way. And it has Jim Dale, so that's a plus. We're holding off most of our judgement until future episodes, but for now, we're excited.

Pushing Daisies Opening Credits

Welcome to season 4 of Axed! Join us as we discuss what to expect from this season's show we're reviewing, Pushing Daisies. Gracie's seen most of it, James has seen some, but the most important thing is that it's not Smash! Still, that won't stop us from doing what we do best, examine what went wrong with this notoriously cancelled TV show.

Rent

We end our journey into the world of Broadway with this bonus content for you, dear listener, as we discuss the show Smash constantly made references to in its second season, Rent. This was Gracie's first time watching a stage version of the show, but that didn't stop her from offering some brilliant insight. It's a great show, and we're glad to be done with Smash!

Smash End Credits

Well, another season of this podcast is in the books. But we're not done yet. Listen with bated breath as we hem and haw over whether or not we think this show should have been cancelled. Because we did a great job of hiding our true feelings. Or maybe just listen as we discuss the up and downs of a show wrought with problems bigger than being aired out of order.

Smash 2.17: The Tony's

Way back in season one of this podcast, we captioned two separate episodes of Firefly about how they did not stick the landing. Little did we know that even in their addled state of being aired completely out of order they would look like the greatest bit of genius ever compared to Smash's series finale. Nothing in this episode makes sense, and it honestly feels like the writers didn't actually care. The only good thing we have to say about this episode is that it, and this show, is over.
