Pushing Daisies never stood a chance being so bright and kitschy, high concept, and getting ruined by the writer's strike. But it was great.

Kings also never stood a chance being so high quality and being on NBC. Had it even premiered a few years later, it'd have gone to Netflix or an early Prime show. It was too good for broadcast TV.

What I’d recommend is paying close attention to each and every character’s flashbacks. Not just to the stories themselves but the characters that appear. You’ll notice familiar faces the more you watch. Probably one of my favorite things about Lost.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law was much more in the vein of Space Ghost, Coast to Coast than Velma. Take a mostly forgotten character from the past and then build an entirely different genre of show around them.

Velma takes the character from one of the most beloved animated IPs and just makes them all unlikeable, but still staying in the "mystery solving kids" genre.
