Film & TV Pushing Daisies

[Illuminattile]

Anybody watch this? (carmi, I'm looking in your direction)

Just watched the pilot, and I liked it a lot. I just hope it does better than Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls.

When does it air in America, so I know when to download it?

it airs on wednesdays in the US. my wife tivod the first episode, but we haven't watched it yet.

I watched the second episode today, and it was great. If you haven't checked it out then you should. It's like Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss teaming up to remake Amelie with Amy Sherman-Palladino (of Gilmore Girls fame) writing the dialogue.

downloading a couple of episodes purely because i dont have anything else to watch.

How was the show's first season, how is the show overall?

 

[Illuminattile]

The whole show was brilliant, albeit cut short by the strike.

cool, take your word for it since you seem to be a heroes and dexter fan.

Do you know which other shows have been cut because of the strike? Thinking of checking out Journeyman too, you watched that yet?

Pushing Daisies is nothing like Heroes or Dexter, so there's no guarantee you'll like it as much as I did. Did you ever catch Dead Like Me or Wonderfalls?

I watched the first episode of Journeyman, but I couldn't get into it. It got low ratings, so only 13 episodes were made.

yeah dead like me was awesome, i gather this is very similar with the "grim reaper" thing.

The plot of Pushing Daisies was a discarded storyline for Dead Like Me. George was going to find out that she couldn't take certain people's souls, because somebody was bringing them back to life. He took that storyline, gave it an Amelie aesthetic and it became Pushing Daisies.
