PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"VOTE: What did you think of Push?" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-29-02 AT 11:04 AM (EST)Well, its all over folks. We've been bashing and rehashing for a while now and I still don't know if you loved it or hated it. Tell me. Rules: In the subject line, put one of these: Loved It Liked It Maybe If The Only Thing On TV Was A Rerun of Showgirls Only In It For The Money Hated It Then tell me why. Since there are only four of us still hanging around, it shouldn't take me long to tally the votes.

2. "Liked It" |
When all has been said and done... I liked this show.Loved the plot...I like quirky stuff that keeps me guessing. Loved some...Jim, Grace, Jameson, Shaddrack Hated some....Mary, Sloman CSI I can pick up in reruns and I haven't missed anything. There is something to be said for serial tv when you actually feel like you are missing something by missing the show. One day I hope I will see the entire series.

3. "Liked it and was in it for the money" |
I liked the show, but then again I also liked Twin Peaks when it aired. It got kind of slow during the middle 3 episodes, but by then I hung on for a chance at the money. I took pages of copious notes, printed out maps and information off too many web sites, and way overanalyzed everything. The solution, once figured out, was really quite simple. I spent too much time overanalyzing everything and making it too hard. Next time I'll remember that shows are broadcast to the lowest common denominator. Great idea about getting the viewers involved with solving the mystery. However, I felt the Ultimate Solve had more to do with cracking codes than solving the mystery. Maybe they can do that next time.

4. "Liked It" |
Although I do think the first couple episodes were too artsy and confusing, turning people away from it.Probably my favorite Episode was the one where Jim was analysing Shadrack's sculpture. I enjoy symbolism, so it gave my brain a little exercise. I also enjoyed the mysteries throughout the series: (most of which has answers on this site) 1. Who sent Jim the fax? This was one of the most puzzling aspects of the show, and it was fun to make guesses. 2. What's up with Jim's father? They kept showing those "Red Trunk" scenes, which made me wonder about it. I knew it had something to do with Push, but I didn't know. Then, we see the Betsy (hotel owner?) with Al Prufrock's hanky. 3. The Off-Limits Area? The funny thing is that for awhile I actually thought that the control room was back there for the whole operation. Would have been great had Jim entered it. 4. The Bible? I knew it was worth something, but how? We finally got a glance at the inside, whick opened up the mystery further. 5. Watermark's "Opposition"? That weird symbol that Grace helped Jim discover. I don't think I ever did find out what that was about. Probably something they would wrap up in the final episodes. The only thing that kept me from "Loving It" was that it didn't tie up the good story enough. I had to find the answers for #1-4 online. Think about it. How would you all feel if you watched Mole 2 all season, and then never found out who the Mole is and what HE actually did? That would be pretty crummy. Quotes of the week 1. "You will NOT see my ta-ta's" -Shii Ann 2. "Do they think I'm too controlling?" -Helen (um, yeah) 3. "My two year old (had a tantrum) one time and I whupped its @$$ and put it back to bed." -Clay 4. "I'm putting in an order for a bigger butt in my next life." -Jan (randomly)

9. "RE: Loved it" |
I still have my web pages up and running, however if I knew that Push Times was going to disappear, I might have captured some of the articles. I did manage to save a couple of maps, the fax, and some images. I tried to buy the book, but it wasn't published. I do have the PDF version which is 8 MB and explains much more of the story.I saved an episode by episode guide with the clues and the solve. http://pages.prodigy.net/jimprufrock The Derek Cecil MP files are gone from the ABC site and I never saw them. Meanwhile I saved every show SP on VHS, then copied them without commercials to one tape. Too bad, because some of the commercials had little tid-bits that related to Push. Pretty funny. I agree that the plot was more interesting to me as it was heating up in Push. ;) I didn't even try to solve the puzzle, even with all the clues, because I was out watching football. In other words, the show and the mystery attracted me more than any prize or contest did. So I loved it and wish I could find The Mystery of Push on DVD, there may be some lost materials, or they never did the production at all for the missing episodes. I would think there are parts left that we never saw. For example, location shots that had to be done in advance, which were never used.
