Catch a Sneak Peak of "Pushing Daisies" ... in a Cemetery

Still haven't seen the highly anticipated fall series Pushing Daisies?

If you haven't and live in LA (or are conveniently situated to drive to said locale), ABC is hosting a sneak preview screening of the pilot for forensic fairy tale Pushing Daisies next week.

Fittingly, the Pushing Daisies event will take place at Hollywood Forever cemetery, which--if you've never been there--is the perfect place for a late night summer film. Select members of the cast and crew will be hand to introduce the event, which promises to be highly entertaining.

Details below for the Pushing Daisies screening.

What: Pushing Daisies Sneak Peek

When: Thursday, August 16th at 8 pm

Where: Hollywood Forever Cemetery
6000 Santa Monica Blvd.
Hollywood, CA 90038

Trust me, this is one event you don't want to miss. And, if that weren't enough incentive, ABC promises "special treats" for some attendees. Hmmm, pie perhaps?

I haven't seen the pilot yet and this sounds like fun. I live in Santa Barbara so will probably drive in during the afternoon. Do events like these fill up pretty quickly?

That is very cool!

But wah - I will be out of town.

I am so there. Sounds like a blast.

@Geek Chick. I would recommend getting there very early for this. The movie screenings always get really full really fast and the line of cars waiting to enter the cemetery tends to start getting very long more than an hour before it is supposed to start. So get there early and bring a picnic blanket and something to eat.

Jace,
Having already seen the pilot, and being lucky enough to having got my hands on a copy, I still won't pass up the opportunity to watch it in a cemetary! I've been wanting to check out a screening in the Hollywood Forever for a while, and this is something I can't pass up.
Now if only I can find some friends to come along, since the wife will be out of town.
One more thing, Is it best to bring camping chairs or just a blanket to lie on?

This is such a great idea! I've been to one screening at Hollywood Forever and it was so much fun. And what a perfect place to show Pushing Daisies. I'm sure it will be crazy, though, so I definitely recommend getting there early and, Cinemaniac, you can bring camping chairs and that may be more comfortable.

Have a Burning Question for Team Darlton, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, or Michael Emerson?

Lost fans: you don't have to make your way to the island via Ajira Airways in order to ask a question of the creative team or the series' stars. Televisionary is taking questions from fans to put to Lost 's executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and stars Matthew Fox ("Jack Shephard"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate Austen"), and Michael Emerson ("Benjamin Linus") for a series of on-camera interviews taking place this weekend. If you have a specific question for any of the above producers or actors from Lost , please leave it in the comments section below . I'll be accepting questions until midnight PT tonight and, while I can't promise I'll be able to ask any specific inquiry due to the brevity of these on-camera interviews, I am looking for some insightful and thought-provoking questions to add to the mix. So who knows: your burning question might get asked after all.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

In Defense of Downton Abbey (Or, Don't Believe Everything You Read)

The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. Which means, if I can get on my soapbox for a minute, that in order to judge something, one ought to experience it first hand. One can't know how the pudding has turned out until one actually tastes it. I was asked last week--while I was on vacation with my wife--for an interview by a journalist from The Daily Mail, who got in touch to talk to me about PBS' upcoming launch of ITV's period drama Downton Abbey , which stars Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith, Dan Stevens, Elizabeth McGovern, and a host of others. (It launches on Sunday evening as part of PBS' Masterpiece Classic ; my advance review of the first season can be read here , while my interview with Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and stars Dan Stevens and Hugh Bonneville can be read here .) Normally, I would have refused, just based on the fact that I was traveling and wasn't working, but I love Downton Abbey and am so enchanted with the proj
