Ginger Snaps Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I'm surprised no one made a thread about this show yet, since there's like a thread for every other new show. Anyway, I saw the pilot, "Pie-lette", this week, and thought it was really, really good. It was funny and quirky and kind of light-hearted, even though the show revolves around death. I liked the concept and the actors all did a fine job, and the characters are just different and interesting enough to make things fun. It gave me a bit of a Tim Burton feel, if he wasn't quite as dark as he usually is and was making TV shows. Also, Jim Dale as narrator! Hearing him as the narrator brought a smile to my face.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I liked the pilot, but I felt sad when I realized Ned and Chuck probably can't be together thanks to his... abilities.
vivalaultra Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 My girlfriend and I watched the pilot online about a month ago. We thought it was really good. I like its charm and quirkiness and I hope it doesn't end up getting cancelled prematurely like a lot of shows of its ilk do.
2GOLD Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Ratings were very good and 8pm on a Wednesday is a good time slot. The only thing that worries me, as I said in the other thread, is that the show might easily fly over the heads of the masses. It'll be interesting if the show holds the audience around how the whole Chuck/Ned storyline plays out in the end. Hell, it'll be interesting to see where this show goes period. It really got me excited for the next episode but really worrying about how exactly this is all going to work.
RavishingRickRudo Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I liked this. Funny stuff. Can't last.
2GOLD Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Another fine episode, funny, attractive females for the eye candy crowd and overall a good storyline. But everything about this show just tells me it's too damn original for it's own good and is doomed. It was already fighting an uphill battle with the guy brings people back from the dead so he can solve crimes for money while making pies on the side. But the musical number, the quirky sense of humor, and just everything feels like it's headed for a WAY too early grave. Which really blows because I'm already hooked.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 The musical number seemed written just for the sake of having Kristen Chenoweth sing.
Ginger Snaps Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Posted October 11, 2007 I didn't mind, it somehow fit the episode. Especially with the dog singing too. Digby looks like my dog!! This was another good episode. I hope the ratings hold up, I've grown fond of this show after only two episodes, and want it to last.
RavishingRickRudo Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 The hand gag at the end was funny.
Brett Favre Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Well I saw my first episode yesterday, and it was good. Unique show.
Mecha Mummy Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 The musical number seemed written just for the sake of having Kristen Chenoweth sing. Yeah, I thought so too. But it got entertaining enough once they worked the dog into the bit.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 PD is easily the best new show of the Fall Season, its not even remotely close. ABC picked it up for a full season which is a good sign from ABC. Its doing well in the ratings for ABC which surprised me, as I figured its one of those "way to wierd shows to be a big hit ratings wise". And Chi McBride (Emerson) is easily my favorite character.
Hawkius Maximus Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 I love Pushing Daisies. So very much. I get almost giddy waiting for it on Wed. It's weird.

Yeah, it's my favorite new show of the season, I'm happy that it got a full season order. It's very different than other shows out there, but I think that helps it.
boobshaw Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 This show is still one of the most fantastic shows on television. This plus Dirty Sexy Money and Life on Wednesday nights rule my world.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 This show is awesome, the little narrator thing is just like Little Britain - is it the same guy? I'll download the rest and catch the DVD when its out. Ned reminds me of Edward Norton.

Gary Floyd Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Bumbping because Season 2 starts tonight.
DMann2003 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 This is just one of the sweetest fun shows to watch. I really really Anna Friel
