I am slightly confused about what point your are trying to make. My review clearly stated that “the show is a critical favorite and it’s popular with audiences, too.” And I didn’t concern myself with “what conservative viewers think”; I merely speculated on that as a possible motivation for the pilot episode’s contrived handling the central romance. There is no “debacle” here, unless we define the word as refusing to jump on a popular bandwagon just because it is popular.

Steve,
Your negative review of Pushing Daisies was clearly not agreed with by the viewing public as it has been a big hit both in the ratings and with other critics. You are fully entitled to your opinion, but in this case your opinion missed the side of the barn. You shouldn’t concern yourself what conservative viewers think, they’re the last ones who should be censoring what is shown on television.
Hopefully you learn a lesson from this debacle.
Sincerely,
Professor
