What I'm watching tonight: NBC comedies and the penultimate episode of Mad Men
Last night:
Boy, Pushing Daisies comes on strong! Jesus. I think if it were a movie, it'd be one thing, but knowing it's a series, it's a lot to take, from the Willy Wonka sets to the theatricality of the acting to the very precious and detail-concerned narration to the abrupt musical number. Too much to take, for me. I hope the show does well, but I hope it takes it back a notch, too.
Dirty Sexy Money is well acted but not especially interesting. I like Peter Krause, and I like the twins a lot more than the rest of the family -- the angry priest is too over the top to make me do anything but wince -- but the show can't seem to match a tone to a plot, so I'm still not sure what it's "about" in any meaningful, beyond-the-TV-Guide sort of way.
