  • Another Victim Killed by the Writer's Strike

    "Perfect"

    Okay where to begin with this wonderful show. Let's start with the basic's. This was one of the most original and witty shows ever to have aired on TV. With a rare quaility that felt like a Modern Day Fairy Tale, complete with it's own own Omniscent Narrator, the visual sights were as strikingly beautiful as the colorful and quirky cast were humourous. It also carried a genuinly innocent love story between two people who could never touch, ergo none of the sleeping together then figuring out the relationship afterwords like so many other shows at the time.
    I truly feel that if it was not for the Writer Strike, that took place before the show even had a chance to establish a larger audience, then this show would still be on the air today. It's sad to see another show killed before it's time.moreless

    Few shows will ever achieve what Pushing Daisies has achieved in just a few episodes. It normally takes one to two seasons for writers and actors to truly find their character's voice - some shows never find it at all. From the very first episode of Pushing Daisies it is evident that Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls) has created something uniquely wonderful where everything clicks from the very start. The premise of this show at first sounds unworkable but, when I tuned in for the first time I fell in love. We learn of a man who can resurrect the dead with only a touch. The next touch will kill permanently. If the second touch doesn't come within 60 seconds some one else in the general proximity will die. It is all delivered to us as a modern day fairy tale with bright colors and a narrator ala Harry Potter. The writing is clever and witty and full of double entendres. Pushing Daisies has not let me down yet. I start to smile from the moment I hear the narrator's voice to the end of the credits. The only time I am not smiling is when I am laughing - this show just makes me happy.moreless

  • Pushing Daisies is a wonderful show that will be sorely missed. A beautiful romantic fairy tale in the (almost) real world.

    This show was a fantastic combination of well written comedy, brain teasing mystery, heart stopping drama, heart warming romance, and constant plot twists! You couldn't help but fall in love with the characters. Each one had their own very distinct personality as well as their own set of issues which made it even more entertaining and heart warming to watch them interact and grow throughout the seasons. I, for one, am very sad to see this show end, I could see this going on for a few more seasons and drawing in even more viewers. Alas, all good things must come to an end.moreless

    I love this show. I love The Pie Hole with its silly clever name and its little roof. I love the narrator and the very colorful flashbacks. I love that every episode has a theme. I love Chuck with her little dresses and eccentric hobbies and talents. I love her and Ned's complete willingness to admit their feelings for each other at any time. I love Ned's awkwardness and ranting, and that he's a pie maker as well as his general cuteness. I love Emerson's blunt honesty and permanent nicknames for Itty Bitty and Dead Girl. And I especially love Olive. I love her cute little smallness, her cute little voice, and her Jiminy Crispies. I even love her love for Ned.moreless

    Are you serious? Why do they cancel all the good shows? I really fell in love with this show. I've seen five episodes on the firt season and there are only one and a half season left? I read a forum here that someone else would/shall do another season but it would be about Ned, Chuck etc vs zombies?! I just say DON'T do a show were they are fighting against zombies! It should be just like now. This is an loving show which are romantic and adorble. Shame on they who drops shows like this one and make severel season with the bad ones. I WANT TO KEEP THIS SHOWmoreless
