In Dirty Sexy Money Gossip Girl Pushing Daisies
While watching (and only intermittently enjoying) Reaper yesterday I realized how much I was looking forward to Wednesday night’s television options.
Pushing Daisies is the Ecstasy of my TV week: After watching it, I end up loving everything and grinning so hard my face hurts. Dirty Sexy Money is the top-shelf vodka: It may not be a real hard-core drug, but it’s smooth and makes things perhaps more funny and exciting than they are usually. Gossip Girl, despite my continued vendetta against one of its leading men, is the hard lemonade: A drink aimed primarily for already-drunk high school sophomores, but not bad tasting every once in a while.
I don’t condone Dan’s continued support of Bionic Woman, but I thought I’d mention it just because I know he’ll be paying attention. Bionic Woman is the flat, warm Red Bull of the TV Week: Forced excitement that tastes like garbage.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: Wednesday’s other programming… Private Practice is the Xanax. Back to You is the Merlot. Kid Nation is the Adderall. Criminal Minds is the NyQuil.

In my defense, I’ve made it clear that I don’t necessarily enjoy The Bionic Woman. If I didn’t write for a TV blog, I would not give it a second thought. It’s for the children, you know?
Continuing on your drug theme, I’d probably say Kid Nation is probably the equivalent of huffing a permanent marker.
Lastly, I think a t-shirt is in order that says “Forced excitement that tastes like garbage.”

For me Pushing Daisies is more like Apple Pie.
Lost is a rare sirloin.
Reaper is Chicken Wings (or maybe Frog’s legs).
Daily Show is a Hot Fudge Sundae
