Bryan Fuller On a Possible Pushing Daisies Reunion in Hannibal, Doing a Pushing Daisies Zombie Movie

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:00 pm, May 5th, 2013

First things first, to those not watching NBC’s Hannibal: Watch Hannibal. The acting’s great, the characters are wonderful, and it’s insanely fun seeing the writers play with the fact that the audience knows Hannibal Lecter’s a killer cannibal but the characters don’t. (Said at a dinner meeting: “Next time bring your wife. I’d love to have you both for dinner.” Oh-ho-ho!)

Another reason to catch up on Hannibal, at least if you’re a Pushing Daisies fan: Some combination of Lee Pace, Kristin Chenoweth, and Anna Friel might join its cast in season two. If it gets a season two. C’mon, people. Let’s make this the Bryan Fuller show that lasts.

Might Pushing Daisies Get a Kickstarter-Funded Touch of Life?

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, March 17th, 2013

Looks like the Munsters aren’t long for this world. Bryan Fuller‘s remake of the series, called Mockingbird Lane, has been demoted to TV movie status by NBC, which will be airing the pilot as a Halloween special in an effort to recoup at least some of the $10 million it cost to make.

Pushing Daisies‘ Bryan Fuller’s The Munsters Gets Shelved… Maybe?

by Susana Polo | 12:36 pm, October 2nd, 2012

Television reboots of beloved old series aren’t the most popular thing these days (market saturation, what can you do?), but the idea of Bryan Fuller at the helm of Mockingbird Lane, a reboot of The Munsters, was pleasing to a lot of people. Fuller’s claim to fame are such charming quirky concept and design-heavy shows as Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me.

The other thing those shows have in common is being cancelled, with their hosting networks citing low ratings. Perhaps it was this that was unfortunately most prominent in the mind of somebody at NBC?

Will Pushing Daisies Head to Broadway?

by Alanna Bennett | 11:11 am, July 18th, 2012

Bryan Fuller‘s been dropping hints of upcoming Pushing Daisies news for the past few months, and we have been clawing at our computer screens for just as long screaming “TELL US!” The Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and Mockingbird Lane producer swore it had nothing to do with a return of the cancelled-too-soon show to television, or of a jump to the big screen. So what does that leave? Broadway, apparently!

10 Fictional Universes We’d Like To Live in Based on Food Alone

So here’s the simple explanation:

1. We were trying to think of a Power Grid.

2. We were hungry.

That’s it. I’m being perfectly serious. What you see before you is the product of a few people sitting down to write something about fandom when they didn’t have any snacks on hand. We started thinking about fantasy food and then had to make a list out of it.
