adampkalb I admit, I was scared by this show when I was 9 and it premiered, but I've been able to look past all the scary stuff from this show. When you're 14 it looks funnier to see murder victims talk while still in their damaged condition...most of the time. I love this show more than Dead Like Me because the characters are more interesting and likable and Pushing Daises is also still a sweet show at its core, even though it isn't as kid-friendly as it first appears. Also, there are no Gravelings that could be moving things or reaper ghost people any time someone dies onscreen, so this likely isn't the same universe even though the Happy Time Temp Agency was mentioned in this show. Or if Dead Like Me really is in the same universe as Bryan Fuller's other 3 shows, the Gravelings and reapers seem to be limited exclusively to the location of Dead Like Me in Seatte/Vancouver. The best part is that even though there are consequences for reviving the dead that you need to carefully consider if you are Ned and want to keep somebody alive, there doesn't seem to be any consequences for saving somebody from dying in the first place like Dead Like Me had, such as the "hunting spree" or a soul rotting in a survivor of their time to die, but what if a soul trapped in its dead body rotted before it could be taken late? I love Ned and Chuck and also sometimes Emerson and Olive are funny too.

chizzlemoviepicks This show has everything, from the perfect dynamic of the cast to the perfect flow of the story up until it was canceled.Pushing Daisies was canceled too soon and everyone was saddened by this. It may not have the highest ratings at the time but at least they could've have given this show a chance. This show had great potential.Ned The Pie Maker was the perfect character, he was shy and awkward and mysterious. He can wake the dead and bake delicious pies! He was an eye-candy for everyone.Chuck was kind off annoying at first but you learn to love her like Ned does.This show had so much more stories to tell. It was one of a kind and a refreshing show.

let let Pushing Daises is one of the most interesting, unique, beautiful, colorful shows I ever had the pleasure to watch. I loved every minute of it, I just wish it didn't have to end, because the concept of the whole show was unique and charming like no other. Loved every second of it. It's really a shame that they had to cut such a great series so short, when it had everything to succeed, the fantasy around it, the characters, the narration, the colors, it's uniqueness made me really enjoy it, like few other shows did. It's late, but I really wanted to show my admiration for the series and everyone that helped to put it together. As well as my indignation towards its ending, because it really did have everything to go well.

stormcatcher-2 If you're familiar with Bryan Fuller's work ("Wonderfalls", "Dead Like Me", and probably the only decent bits of "Heroes", which was otherwise less than stellar), you'll probably like this. It has many of his usual tropes: strong-minded female characters (although this time around, he main character is male), at least one female character with a male nickname, dark humor, and an element of the paranormal.Be warned, though: more so than any other series he's worked on, this one purposefully goes over the top with its style. Justifiably described as a "forensic fairytale", the colors are vibrant and lush, the names and places whimsical, and the humor dry and offbeat - with the occasional bonus of a musical number courtesy of Kristin Chenowith, as Olive.In the end, maybe that's why "Pushing Daisies" didn't make it. In spite of the dark humor and semi-morbid subject matter, there's a much bigger sense of hopefulness and joy at work here, and under that candy-coated exterior, a surprising amount of depth. But you have to be willing to look for it a little - so if you have a short attention span or are otherwise fairly cynical and enjoy things like watching other people fail, you'll hate this series. Go watch one of the many horrible and formulaic reality TV shows that are unfortunately still out there.Luckily, the rest of us can buy this show on DVD and bask in its exuberance anytime we want. It's pie, all right. And it's absolutely delicious.
