"Pushing Daisies" was a wonderful series! I loved it from the very beginning. To call the series imaginative is an understatement. The writing, the acting and the pure color saturation of the series were amazing. I'm not sure there has ever been anything else like it. It's been my experience that it appealed more to intelligent people than to average people. I did watch each episode more than once. It moved so quickly that it was easy to miss a little detail here and there. And "Pushing Daisies" was all about detail. I knew that I would eventually own copies of the series. I was hoping that it would run for years. But now that I have copies of all of the episodes I can and will watch them whenever I want. The special features are great,too. How could you not love a series that was hip (or cool, or boss, or fly) enough to name the pie restaurant The Pie Hole?Read full review
Pushing Daisies is one the rare shows that brings in you in from all angles. The wit and charm of this show is beyond anything that I have come across in a long while. The plot is unusual in a great way, the casting is perfect but my favorite part is the dialogue. It's quick and funny, the kind where you have to rewind to catch it all. Ned "the pie-maker" has the goofy, lovable charm that makes all women swoon. Emerson " the private detective" is the perfect straight man to all the chaos going on in Coeur d'Coeurs. Then there's the wonderful " lonely murdered tourist" Charlotte "Chuck" Charles.Who just so happens to be Ned first kiss and love. The chemistry between Ned and Chuck is what will suck the viewer in, make them want to stay in their world.Olive Snook is the woman that loves Ned but can never have him, especially after his childhood sweetheart comes swiftly back into the picture. Ned and Emerson have a business where Ned brings murder victims back to life ( cause he can do that,but only for a minute or something of equal life value dies in its place) to find who killed them, to collect the reward, which they half. Until the day when a " lonely tourist" is murdered on a cruise ship, which so happens to be Ned's long lost childhood sweetheart Charlotte or "Chuck" as he so fondly calls her. The travel agency that booked Chuck's trip offers a $50,000 reward to find who killed her.Emerson takes on the case, when Ned brings her to life he finds it hard to bring himself to touch her once more and make her dead again. He doesn't,much to Emerson's dismay, so with this "girl named Chuck" around the duo that half's rewards is now a trio, once again to Emerson's dismay. So the trio goes around "solving" murders and Ned has to deal with his gift, plus not being able to touch the woman he loves. My review and details may not be enough to latch you to this show. Just know that you will be missing out on a gem of a T.V show that had to end too soon. Who knows what joys it could have brought to the world of television if only it was given a chance. Watch it for yourselves, you won't be disappointed if you are into the unusual and lovely.Read full review
Innovative and refreshing program. Ned and Charlotte's childhood romance blooms only when Charlotte dies and Ned uses his power of touch to resurrect her back to life and into his "sheltered" life. The plots are inventive so you get romance, comedy, mystery, and sensitivity to the value of human relationships. We bought this dvd as well as the 2nd and final season of this tv program. We were devasted that our favorite program got cancelled after only 2 seasons. It's a shame it didn't catch on or that the network felt they had to cancel the series. At least we can enjoy it all over again on dvd without commercial interuptiions.
This show is one of my favorites! It was so different from anything I had ever watched; the "suburban gothic" mix of Middle America domestication and the light humored morbidity of death complexed with vibrant colors and anachronistic mix of 1960's period clothes wih now-to-near-future machines. The narrator's "proper" english accent commentates the backstory of each character like a children's book and the surprising modern, yet interesting new character types create turns (and real cliffhangers) in the storyline unlike any other show. Syrupy sweet at times, Pushing Daisies shows that unlike most shows on primetime tv, a clean story can entertain and still bring enough mischief and mystery to hold your attention.
This series is directed by one of the motion picture's industries best directors and cinematographers, (Barry Sonnefield, who directed "Men in Black"). So, right off the bat you'll notice this series looks more like a motion picture, rather than a television show. Bryan Fuller created and writes the show and is fantastic! They brought in great actors to star in this series, and great guest stars as well. So, naturally the acting is spot on. You will love this series! And, the more you see it, the better it gets, which is why I HAD to get the DVD. LOVE LOVE LOVE "Pushing Daisies"!!!
