feeling listless

TV I didn't watch Pushing Daisies on Saturday night, deciding that I'd wait for the dvd since ITV1 haven't exactly treated imports with much respect in the past. Thank goodness I did, because they're at it again. ITV1 aren't bothering to show the second episode of the series because they say they wouldn't have been able to get all nine episode of the series in before the football starts, which is clearly the way to build viewer loyalty.

Is it any wonder that people in my demographic and younger, exactly the audience they were hoping to attracting by purchasing and putting out the show in this time slot, actively loath them? Don't they suspect that people might want to see every episode, whether they're stand alone or not? They've said they might show it in the future as part of a repeat run or on its own. Don't put yourself out or anything. Idiots.
