Pushing Daisies

By Allison Waldman Like a stray dog that works his way into your heart, I think I've fallen in love with The Middle. I didn't want to get so attached, because -- quite frankly -- ABC's track record for sticking with quality shows isn't so great. I'm still mourning Pushing Daisies. But The Middle is nothing like Pus...

By crissycalhoun No costume for me this year, so please enjoy some moderately to not-that-well executed costumes from Halloweens Past: Pushing Daisies’ Charlotte Charles (when I wasn’t holding the props, it was a pretty big fail), Clue’s Mrs. Peacocok (win!), and Vampire with a Cocktail and Fake Nails (...

The WME-repped Sonnenfeld has been concentrating heavily on TV of late, inking a deal with ABC and ABC studios, and exec producing dark comedy “Pushing Daisies.” His last feature was the Robin Williams-starrer “RV.”

By antirealityshow 2. Pushing Daisies- S1 E7 Morning Has Broken- this might not technically be a montage, but it’s a scene I love undyingly, if that’s a word. The swimming, Vivian’s voice…magical. Why Pushing Daisies ever got canceled, I have no idea. 3. The Office- S6 E4- “Niagara” 4. The X-Files- S9- “Trust No. 1″

If you're into television that never actually airs on television, you'll be glad to know that the massively popular Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog won an Outstanding Special Class award, which I understand to be Joss Whedon's first Emmy win, though that seems awfully hard to believe. (He...

We decided to ask the creator, Bryan Fuller, who is also the creator of Dead Like Me, the co-creator of Wonderfalls, and the writer and co-executive producer of the well-received first season of Heroes (on which he is now working again).

By TV Guide News Pushing Daisies Despite critical acclaim and a devoted following, Pushing Daisies lives up to its name as tonight's series finale represents the final nail in the coffin of cancellation by ABC. But as one might expect, it's going out in style, especially when Vivian and Lily reunite as th...

By marcusandstevi “Water & Power,” I think, is one of Pushing Daisies‘ finest episodes. I’m glad ABC aired it, even in the death zone of Saturday nights at 10 p.m., because it was one of the best examples of what this show can be, why it’s loveable and precisely why I’ll miss it. Plus, it effectively brought clo...

By Meredith Woerner Pushing Daisies - It's the proper series finale for Daisies. The Darling Mermaid Darling's rival Aquadolls are killed, which means it's time for a mermaid revival. Olive and Ned team up to uncover the murderer, while Chuck hides in the wings. Watch, for the last time, our dear pie-maker and f...

By iTunes When Ned declares he's no longer using his "gift" to solve crimes, Emerson enlists Chuck's help to investigate the murder of a window dresser. Meanwhile, Olive gets a blast from her past -- the two cons who kidnapped her as a child (she convinced them to in an effort to get her parents' attent...

By Myles I had meant to make a note of the return of Pushing Daisies to readers ahead of time, considering that ABC certainly isn’t promoting their 10pm Saturdays burn-off of the remaining three episodes of the show’s second season, but part of me wasn’t quite looking at this as a real event. I haven’...

Even sweller. Pushing Daisies (ABC): Good idea, good writing, good directing, good acting, good... bye. [Sigh] 30 Rock or Pushing Daisies. Why did they cancel Pushing Daisies in the middle of a season. Definitely nominate CHUCK and PUSHING DAISIES. ...

They make a great team and provide one of the episode's highlights (at the end, when Emerson told Olive she could come work with him anytime). Olive is even more cute, and adorable, than usual as a tough-talking pi. Meanwhile, Chuck's dad proves to be a real jerk. There's a great fight scene between him and Ned and lots of conflict for the young lovers: Ned and Chuck. They weather the storm very nicely and provide another one the episode's highlights (up on the roof, when Chuck grabs the plastic sheeting and kisses Ned passionately).   [read the full post]

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Pushing Daisies 06.30 Kyle XY 07.30 Supernatural Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 8. "Comfort Food" The best episode so far. Delightful from start to finish. The case-of-the-week (while certainly a lot of fun) is wisely relegated to b-story status, and the main thrust of this week's tale concerns Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles and various members of her family (living and dead). The Chuck storyline (and her pairing with Emerson Cod) is wonderful beyond belief. Highlight?

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 7. "Robbing Hood" Another delightful visit to the fairy tale world of Pushing Daisies. For the second week in a row, there is a balance between the case-of-the-week and the backstory of all the characters. And the result is fantastic. That intro alone (Ned and his friends two pets) was one of the very best. I was laughing out loud within a minute of sitting down to watch. That can't be bad. And the show delivered another great laugh later on (when we heard the bear come back to life). Good Morning Miami. Episode 10. "If It's Not One Thing, It's a Mother" One of the most imporant episodes of GMM. It is well written/performed, it's does a great job with all of the characters and it is funny.   [read the full post]

By Christopher Bird So Pushing Daisies has been cancelled, and apparently it is in the television critic's guidebook that Televisualist has to mention it.

"Daddy's Home" Better than the pilot. The case-of-the-week is still corny, but most of the episode is devoted to the regulars and their backstory. And a good one it is. The blood-drenched cliff-hanger (flash-forward) really shocked me, and I'll be back for more episodes. Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 3. "Bad Habits" Bees, clowns and now nuns! All getting the Pushing Daisies treatment. Olive gets lots of screentime (to make up for leaving her out of the first two episodes, I guess) and the ending (where Ned tells Chuck who her mother is) is unexpected and wonderful.   [read the full post]

‘Pushing Daisies’ has to struggle back to life Fairy-tale drama went flat, but may be able to recover A frail fairy tale Ultimately, the larger problem is that those first two episodes exposed how frail the show's structure might be.

By Myles Pushing Daisies is one of these shows.
