The Fall TV Season, Part III

Wednesday starts with the best show of last year, the beguiling Pushing Daisies. The multi-talented Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls) created series charmed and surprised me through its 9 episode first season. With hopes that there is no actors strike, I’m looking forward to a full 22 episode season. Daises gets the DVR treatment, while I’ll record Bones on the old VCR (and much like NCIS, this procedural show focus is more on characters, even though the crimes are pretty gruesome. Plus the chemistry between stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschancel is great). After that, the next two hours on the three major networks and the one left on the CW seems lame.
