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’...

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 06.00 The Big Bang Theory 06.30 Reaper 07.30 Pushing Daisies 08.30 Supernatural Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 13. "Kerplunk" Murder in the world of synchronised swimming. Lily and Vivian return to the show, and return to the water, in the last-ever episode of this adorable series. The Ned/Chuck romance gets several solid scenes, and the Cod/Snook partnership yields many hilarious moments. The guest cast are terrific, too. Wendie Malick and Wilson Cruz are two of my favourites and both are completely on-form here, but the real revelation is Josh Hopkins, who is unrecognisable (and wonderful) as a himbo.   [read the full post]

Season 2, Episode 12. "Water and Power" Cod's ex is a suspect in a murder. David Arquette continues to be a worthwhile addition to the regular cast, as Gina Torres proves (as ever) to be a great guest star. And a perfect match for Christine Adams. Cod has great taste in women, it must be said. Highlight? The Sarah Connor Chronicles ("Donald, Where's Yer Troosers?")

"Window Dressed to Kill" Two of Olive's friends escape prison and she helps them, while pretending to be engaged to Ned. Wonderful Olive-centric episode. Kristin Chenoweth sings again and I love her just a little bit more than I already did. They need to have her sing in every episode. Supernatural. Season 4, Episode 3.

By Jess It’s kind of hard not to be a little bit infatuated with Anna Friel. And I could listen to that lovely British accent all day.

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Pushing Daisies 06.30 Kyle XY 07.30 Supernatural 11.30 Good Morning Miami Emerson Cod and Olive Snook team up to investigate a murder in a lighthouse. 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 podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Pushing Daisies 06.30 Kyle XY 07.30 Supernatural Pushing Daisies. Season 2, Episode 6. "Oh Oh Oh...It's Magic" Delightful from start to finish. Ned is rather grumpy for the duration of this episode and Lee Pace has a field day with the role. He's hilarious. Anna Friel gets to shine, too, when Chuck tries out various accents and constantly bombards her real mother with phone calls from 'strangers'. With a storyline closely tied to Ned's family background this episode feels less like a case-of-the-week and is all the better for it. Highlight?

"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.
