Pushing Daisies
 
I was just obsessing over my latest favourite TV shows-- I am so phsyched for the 4th season of The Office! OO: Michael and Dwight are as hillarious as always, and Jim and Pam are so cute. <3

But the real reason I made this topic was about a new television series called Pushing Daisies-- has anyone seen it? In short, it's about a guy who is obsessed with pies and has a special power to bring people back to life. 1 touch = brings them back to life, 2 touches = dead forever. :C
There are so many other details that I could get into, but not now. O:

So anyway, I was just wondering if anyone watches that at all? Because it's apparently not very popular at the moment, and critics are i guess saying that it might not capture the audience because it's a little TOO quirky, but it is SUCH an amazing show. Opinions? Ideas? Post away! <33

I've heard that it's good, but due to my lack of a television, I can't really watch it.... Since it's on ABC (I think), there should be reruns online, though..... *hopes*
It sounds interesting; I would like to at least check it out.

I dont know what youre really talking about, Im just here to say dont use excess coding. Its against the rules..:3
Thats all, thanks. ^^

marissa12345 10-08-2007 08:16 PM

Im sooo happy about it!
And same with House! <333
His team left him and now hes stuck by himself. xD
and hes trying to prove to the girl that he can do this all on his own. xD
its funny really. lol

Ooh. I wanted to watch Pushing Daisies, but I just didn't...
I watch Gossip Girl though. Mainly because I read the books, but I like it nonetheless. ^^

Pushing Daises, according to the commercials, looks funny with an unfortunate twist. The whole how he touches people asks how they die then touches them again and their dead thing seems pretty funny. But I haven't had a chance to watch it just yet..

Seito 10-08-2007 08:31 PM

moving this to the media section.
Also going to edit your title.

I lovee the new season of the Office! It's been amazing so far~

I keep meaning to watch Chuck, but I forget every single time it's on. D: It looks interesting though, maybe I can catch reruns one day.

Ooh! I like house, but I don't watch it often. I'm sortof squeamish. x]

@Mashi
Aahhh, I love Gossip Girl. ;D It's not really much like the books though. :C I still like it alot though! ;DD you should definetly see Pushing Daisies!!

@Eternal Happines
Oohh, lovely way to describe it. -nodnod- :3 It is very funny-- And I'm so happy that it has Kristen Chenoweth in it! I love her. She is my favourite Glinda. :]

@Seito
Oh dear. Looks like I've been a bad Menewshan TWICE already. v_______v <//3
Thanks! ^-^

@Fevertofuture
Ohh, so glad to have a fellow office-watcher!! I'm addicted.
OO: What's chuck? ^^;;

  • OFFICE SEASON 4, YES! Love that show. Dwight is hilarious. XDDD "QUESTION!"

    Anyways, on to Pushing Daises. I did watch it last week, because the previews for it made it look very good. However, I didn't enjoy it very much. I did like some parts... But I'd have to agree with the critics on this one. It may just be a little to "quirky." It all reminds me of the lastest remake of "How the grinch stole christmas", and all of Dr. Suess's stuff for that matter. :B

JIM: One day Michael came in complaining about a speed bump on the highway. I wonder who he ran over then.

DWIGHT: Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing.

@Mozzetti
xDD Dwight is so great. "I'm sorry Dwight, but I can't see you anymore! It's just that... Everytime I look into your eyes... I see SPRINKLES! I'm sorry."
Ahahaha.

Pushing Daisies-- agreed. But I do love the amazing colors and graphics they fit into the show. Also, if you know me, then this show is VERY VERY me. xDD
So I seem to love it in just a natural way, but I guess not many people do. :B

I semi-watched and overheard the first episode from my computer, and it seemed pretty interesting. It gave off the feel of Dead Like Me and little bit of Dexter (the second of which is one of my favorite shows). I'd probably watch more of it given the chance.

On a different note, did anyone catch the show based on those Caveman commercials? I wasn't too impressed, though I only saw part of it.

crazy 10-10-2007 09:01 PM

I saw the first episode and I really liked it! I think it's a really creative show.

Mozzetti 10-11-2007 01:53 AM

  • Hello again.

    Were you able to watch it tonight? If so, how was it? I was working on my car and didn't realize the time so I missed it. But, I'll be able to just watch it some night on abc.com... I love that feature !

    Before I stop watching altogether, I'm going to give it a few more episodes. :B

Admonish Misconstruction 10-11-2007 02:11 AM

I want to see it so badly! I read all I could about it, in fact I'm going to watch it now!

XD

Eserel 10-11-2007 04:18 AM

Its okay. Its a good concept, but poorly played in my opinion.

Deniece 10-11-2007 11:44 AM

Pushing Daisies.... I think I've seen the previews of that and I wanted to watch it, but then I... forgot about it I guess. :roll:
Does anyone know how many shows have aired so far? I'll try to look it up if I can remember and see what night and time it comes on. As long as it doesn't come on the same night and time as Supernatural, it's all good :lol:

jamilee-nicole 10-11-2007 02:02 PM

Pushing Up Daisies is BRILLIANT!

I mean, despite it being on a rather morbid subject, I.E. Death and bringing the dead back to life for cold hard cash, the show is suprisingly, wonderfully endearing.

I am praying either for many seasons or many spin-offs.

I would even let my absurdly influencable nephew, who is five and cuter than sin, watch it!

Last nights episode was awesome too!

First, I loved how it ran on with the 'Daisies' thing. Second, it dealt with an eating disorder, something rarely done in such media.

I would chat more, but I have class to get to.

VIVA LA Pushing Dasies!

Fred Weasley 10-11-2007 02:27 PM

Pushing Daisies?
I've seen the ad for that series when I was in New York City during my holidays this summer with my Dad.
I thought it looked pretty interesting and funny but since I live in Germany I don't know whether it will ever be on TV here...
Maybe I'll have to get it somewhere on the internet...

i think i might have to agree with this user more. i watched a bit of it, and it just seemed really strange in my opinion. i still haven't really formed a strong opinion one way or the other about it though.

C H A R T R E U S E 10-12-2007 11:47 PM

I love Pushing Daisies! I have it on my DVR. xD

Apple Sauce 10-13-2007 12:56 AM

Pushing Daisies has the cutest story line I've ever seen .

=D


One of my favorite shows besides Heroes.

I don't watch much tv.

Compromised Evil 10-13-2007 02:36 PM

I want to see that show, it looks interesting, but I have just never caught it on TV.

Julianna 10-13-2007 02:46 PM

  • i loved it once i seen the first few minutes!
    its the cutest show EVER, i love it soo much! <33
    and even one of my guy friends watch it too,
    i don't see how its not that popular.. Dx
    its very cute how Ned and Chuck can't hold hands or anything!
    that glass screen in their car at the end of last weeks episode, was very cute! D:

    i think i've typed the word cute about 3242 times in that one paragraph! xDD <33

    Deniece; so far there has only been two-three that aired so far.
    its on Tuesday and Wednesday, but both days show the same episode.

Machika 10-13-2007 09:02 PM

I saw the first episode and LOVED it! I missed the first half of the second episode and need to be unlazy and find it on the web.

I love it's quirkyness and the narrator in the background, he comes in at perfect times. I hope Ned and Charlie get together in the end(:
