Pushing Daisies



I am really, really going to miss this show.  It's chock-full of a bunch of the things I love:

  1. mystery
  2. snappy, witty dialogue, like that of grand old screwball comedies or The Gilmore Girls
  3. color and more color--truly vibrant sets, made to look much like the world of Amelie
  4. retro style
  5. truffle-hunting pigs and bee skeps aplenty
  6. general quirkiness galore
  7. and, of course:  PIE!
The premise of Pushing Daisies didn't attract me at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a try--I now own both seasons on dvd.  Fairytale Hausfrau favorites, absolutely!

I am SO with you! This was the most bizarre, most wonderful show. And I felt so sad when they cancelled it. Couldn't they have at least given me items from set and wardrobe as a parting gift?

I'm not familiar with the series either...but if they offer it on netflix, I'll be all over it!

Monica and Celestial Charms--hope you'll check it out and like it as much as I do.

vmichelle, you're right--we totally should have received parting gifts!
