Pushing Daisies: Comfort Food

December 4th 2008 20:02
This episode is easily the best episode of the second season, if not the whole series. Two mysteries are played out in this episode to great effect. Ned and Olive try to solve a murder at a cook off while Emerson helps Chuck clean up the mess she created by tricking Ned by keeping her father alive after Ned brought him back to life.

Like always the guest stars are put to great use in this episode. I love how Beth Grant recreates her role of Marianne Marie Beetle who previously appeared in the episode of Wonderfalls entitled "Muffin Buffalo" a show also created by Bryan Fuller.

Olive gets a chance to show case her singing voice again in this episode. I was blown away by how much she was able to sound like Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the Bangles. The song was perfect used at the perfect time.


With episodes like these it makes me even more upset that the show has been canceled. because who knows how much better the show could have gotten.

Pushing Daisies: Robbing Hood

November 29th 2008 00:03


This episode will definitely go down as one of the series best. A series that will soon be at it's end however. I'm very upset at it's cancellation, but that's how it goes. It's a shame that we will not be able to see just how far the show and it's character's could have expanded. I have high hopes for the entire cast though, Lee Pace especially. This show really helped it's stars show incredible acting rage and I'm sure it will help them land good roles in the future.


Okay let's talk about this episode. As I said, this was one of the best episodes of the series. The performances from all the regulars were, of course great. Kristin Chenoweth's imitation of Lisa Douglas from Green Acres was the highlight of the episode for me.

I love how they are connecting Chuck and Ned, emotionally, deeper and deeper, with just about every episode. Showing us that they really are good together. The conversation they had while digging up Chuck's father's grave was very heart warming.

To add to all the great performances from the regulars we also got great performances from the guest stars as well. Danny Comden, Jennifer Elise Cox, and Ethan Phillips all complimented the leads very well and were very funny.

I'm sad to see this show go, we'll just have to savor it while it lasts.

Pushing Daisies: Oh Oh Oh...It's Magic

November 20th 2008 03:30


The writing for this show is top notch, especially the humorous parts. While this show has many, many funny moments, I don't often find myself actually laughing out loud, maybe once an episode, I don't really find most of it the laugh out loud kind of humor. That being said, I found myself LOLing several times during this episode. I don't know if it was my mood or what, I'd like to think it was because it was extra funny.

Not only was this episode extra funny, it was extra everything. Pretty much take everything that we love about any given episode of Pushing Daisies and times it by two and you get this episode. I absolutely loved it. This is one of two shows, on the air right now, to make me crack up laughing one moment then be incredibly, emotionally moved by the next. The other show being Supernatural.

Fred Willard, among others, guest starred this week as a magician named The Great Herrmann. I'm a big fan of his and loved this role for him. I should also mention a great appearance by Paul F. Tompkins as a geeky magician.

One last thing i want to mention and that is the amazing scene at the end when Ned takes Chuck to her "aunt's" house and she get to overhear Lilly talk to Olive about being Chuck's mother. It was one of the most emotion moments on the show yet and it was a great performance by Anna Friel.

Pushing Daisies: Dim Sum Lose Some

October 30th 2008 02:25


This show does such a good job, each episode, of presenting us with both a compelling mystery while at the same time providing appropriate character development and progressing particular story lines

Pushing Daisies: Frescorts

What can I say other that this was another superb episode. Everything just worked so well together. The subplots supported the main plot perfectly. We had great guest stars and the episode built on everything that happened in the last episode

Pushing Daisies: Bad Habits

October 16th 2008 23:07


I've always thought Lee Pace's acting was subtly brilliant. He was nominated for an Emmy for it. Even though he does a great job portraying Ned, I've always felt that Ned was a static character. But after this episode I suppose he was supposed to be that way. There is a great moment in the confessional where Ned and the Priest work out some of Ned's issues. That scene alone brings to light a whole new layer of Ned that we all knew was there but was suppressed by him. I'm certain that Ned's father will soon be part of the show

Pushing Daisies: Circus Circus

This episode was everything we have come to expect from this series. Personally I found the case itself a tad bland, but it did provide us with some character development for Emerson. It gave us some insight to some of his motivations

Pushing Daisies: Bzzzzzzz!

October 2nd 2008 02:45


Where do I even start to talk about how amazing this show is. This show sets the standard for set design, costumes and make up. I've studied film and theater and I know how difficult it can be to make everything on screen work together. But this show does it wonderfully, it's so bright and colorful yet dark and gothic at the same time. This show is right up my alley
