Pushing Daisies?

Question

Who saw the show "Pushing Daisies" Wendesday on ABC? Did you like it? What did you think of it? I actually really liked it.

Answer 1

I LOVE it! It's repeating tonight, and I can't wait to see it again, to tell the truth *blushes*

Swoozie Kurtz is perfect as Lily Charles. In fact, the roles are all excellently cast.

The narrative is a hoot. The visuals create an eye-orgy. The whole thing is charming as Disney can get. My only regret is I don't have a house full of kids to watch it with. If they create a Pushing Daisies attraction at Disneyland, I'm there.

Poor Digby! He's one old dog.

Answer 2

I was prepared to dislike this show, especially because it sounded a bit like "Tru Calling": a dead person seemingly alive for a moment, asking for help and sending her back in time one day.

It certainly isn't that! The writing reminds me of William Goldman, especially "The Princess Bride" (of which the film is a poor interpretation~Read it to see why I say that.). It's reminiscent of "Wonderfalls" (a short-lived fantasy series), and the narration might remind some of "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events".

It has an interesting premise, a good cast, and clever script, direction, sets and cinematography. I watched the debut, sorry that I hadn't started recording it by the time I was 10 minutes in. I was pleased that the network aired it again Friday. I didn't mind passing up the second part of "Doctor Who" since the portrayal of The Master is absolutely ghastly! It's too bad that he didn't regenerate. (I saw the last two minutes or so when it was run a second time.)

So, I have Episode 1 taped and am looking forward to Episode 2. Too bad I can't say that about most of the other new series.

Answer 3

I don't know if it is it's quirkiness, it's wanting to make wrongs right, or that it is like nothing else on TV, but this is the first show in a long time that made me know that I will be buying the first season on DVD as soon as it comes out.

The photography is wonderful (and colorful), and the casting is perfect (especially Lee Pace and the aunts played by Swoosie Kurtz & Ellen Greene). The narrator reminds me of the Dr. Seuss cartoon narrators.

I liked it so much I watched the pilot again tonight (Friday). I can't wait to see what the aunts will do now that they have left their house...

Answer 4

It was kinda creepy at first, but the show ended up being pretty funny. I'm not sure how the rest of the season will go though. Are they going to keep hunting dead people to collect reward money? If every episode is like that, it might get old after the 3rd episode...but who knows. Supposedly there was a hit show similar to it over in the UK, so we'll see what happens here!

Answer 5

It's like my new favorite show this season. I thought it was kind of fruity at first you know with all the decorations and the characters but when I looked deeped into it it's kinda depressing. What I meant by that is how Ned and Chuck can't really touch either and they have to improvise like the when they were sitting outside the pie shop, they used the monkeys to kiss each other. That was really sweet though. It's so romantic in a way. I can't wait for next week's episode. :)

Answer 6

I saw seen the advert. for the season premiere a couple of times and I was curious to see what it was about. I watched it and I loved it! I really the like the narrators voice, it makes the show all the more whimsical. All I can say is, I now have another program to watch on Wednesday nights.

Answer 7

I LOVED IT!
The colors were vibrant, ala Amelie (an amazing french flick which if you havent seen you should) the actors were spot on, the plot was morbid yet full of quirk, and the narrarator (the same guy who narrated the harry potter audiobooks) was Perfect!! The plot could get boring if they dont have the skill to keep it interesting, but I have confidence, because the producers and storywriters are great. I am afraid that the story is a bit too far out for the general audience, but I hope that it stays on, because I am hooked, it was my favorite moment on general television--ever!
Please keep watching, I dont want this to fail!

Answer 8

I like it so far. It's kind of dark, but I like the fairy tale vibe it has. Plus the show is different from anything else on network tv. Also,for some reason, the narration reminds me of the movie Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Personally, I hope this show does well. Seems like a really good show

Answer 9

I was soo mad, Wednesday was the first night of our Birthing Class so I set our DVR up to record Private Practice and Pushing Daisies.. I really wanted to see the first show of that. Well last night we finished watching Private Practice and went to Pushing Daisies, it said it was recorded and it recorded the entire 1 hour, however it wouldnt play. I'm gonna have to see if I can see it on their website.

Answer 10

i grew to become into arranged to dislike this prepare, notably because of the fact it sounded similar to "Tru Calling": a lifeless guy or woman likely alive for a 2nd, soliciting for help and sending her decrease back in time sometime. It fairly isn't that! The writing reminds me of William Goldman, notably "The Princess Bride" (of which the action picture is a detrimental interpretation~examine it to work out why I say that.). this is comparable to "Wonderfalls" (a short-lived fable sequence), and the narration would remind a number of "Lemony Snicket's a chain of unlucky activities". It has an exciting premise, a solid forged, and sensible script, direction, instruments and cinematography. I watched the debut, sorry that I hadn't all started recording it by skill of the time i grew to become into 10 minutes in. i grew to become into delighted that the community aired it lower back Friday. i did not strategies passing up the 2nd area of "wellness practitioner Who" because of the fact the portrayal of The grasp is truthfully ghastly! this is too undesirable that he did not regenerate. (I observed the final 2 minutes or so whilst it grew to become into run a 2nd time.) So, I even have Episode one million taped and am finding forward to Episode 2. Too undesirable i can't say that approximately lots of the different new sequence.
