Rating:  - Cute and quirky
I love this show! It's very cute, original, fun, and quirky. I am very disappointed that ABC is not renewing the show. I hope another channel picks them up. The writing and the actors are so brilliant!
Rating: - A Wonderful Fairy Tale Every Week
I cannot believe that ABC canceled this amazing show!!! It is unlike any other with its whimsical settings, amazing cast, and creative story lines. One would think that week after week seeing Ned bring people back from the dead for a minute to find out their killer would get boring and the plot would be predictable, but it is always a delight.
I, along with many of you who fell in love with this treasure, have written to ABC expressing my feelings towards their ridiculous decision. I know that these are hard times and everyone is trying to make sure that their decisions make financial sense. But then again, during these hard times should we not have something that can give us hope and bring us the kind of joy that this show brings to many of us??!
This show has just started to really unfold, with Chuck's father being brought back and his disappearance because of Ned and Chuck's relationship. Now we won't know. Good job ABC. Pat yourself on the back once you see how many loyal viewers you will be losing.
Rating: - Great series
Season One was so great. Very original. Season Two has been just as great. Sorry to see it cancelled. One of the few original shows out there.
Rating: - My heart is breaking....
I love this show. This is the best thing to hit TV in...well, since the aforementioned Firefly. This show has the best dialogue, the best cast of characters, the best premise, the best narrator...it's droll and whimsical, the sets are Tim Burton-esque as someone else mentioned...and like others mentioned it feels so well produced it's like watching a little film every week. I felt my heart breaking tonite after watching the episode from Wednesday 12/17 - I don't want this to end. I love visiting Cour-de-Cour every week...I want to find out how Ned and Chuck will keep their love alive without being able to...(well, I don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it) I can't believe who Ned's father is...I want to see Olive find true love...
It's one of the cleanest shows on TV, too - clean and still wonderfully funny and quirky and endearing and hilarious and ....oh dagnab it - WHYYY are they cancelling it? Anyhow, I'm buying season 1 in hopes that they will see people buying it and keep the show on the air (maybe?)....and because it's awesome, of course.
Rating: - Love love love...
The word most commonly used to refer to this show is "quirky". :)
Ok, so there's this kid who finds out he can bring dead things to life by touching them. But if he leaves them alive something else dies... and if he touches them again they die too, forever. He finds this out when his mom dies, and he touches her to bring her back, and his best friend's dad dies in return, then his mom gives him a kiss and she dies too...
Sounds totally grim and awful, no? But it's one of the most fantastic shows I've ever, ever seen. It's witty and funny and light and beautiful, full of clever writing and sweet characters but kept from becoming too saccharine by the unrelenting theme of death. Death and love and pie.
The show invariably gets wonderful reviews, but while the people who do watch it are utterly enchanted - you don't see many bad comments on the show, it's just so very well made - not quite enough people watched it. So due to the not-quite-high-enough ratings and our current economy, the show gets canceled partway through the second season, but the writer has said he would like to finish the plot-threads in a comic book form or perhaps a TV movie. The network has not objected to such ideas.
Oh well. All good things end.
