Thanksgiving is next week Thursday for us Americans, and while all of the TV.com staff have Thursday and Friday off to celebrate, I'm going on vacation for the entirety of next week. I'll be road-tripping down from San Francisco to L.A. and spending the holiday with family. So this means I won't be able to answer PMs or process MIA submissions until I come back on Dec. 1st. danmod and jaxiecracks will be around as usual if you need help.

And finally my TV update. I'm a little upset with the news about Pushing Daisies, especially since the series sounds like it's going to end up on a cliffhanger. It was truly one of the most unique series airing (I don't know how many other comedy/drama/romance/fantasy/mystery shows exist out there), and I'm very sad to see it go. I understand why. It was a little too quirky for a mainstream audience to accept, which makes me wonder if this show would have done better on cable. But that's just speculation. With Bryan Fuller saying that he wanted to return to working on Heroes if anything happened to Daisies, I think the fate of the Piemaker and the Girl Named Chuck is sealed.

In somewhat better news, I'm glad that ABC's version of Life on Mars will be returning next year, but it still has that troubling spot after Lost, and as I've mentioned before, no series has followed Lost and survived more than a few weeks. But I think they do make a good pairing. Both are shows with underlying mysteries at their core and I hope that Life on Mars picks up new viewers from the Lost audience.
