Pushing Daisies

“Pushing Daisies” is the most vibrant, colorful, over-the-top spectacular, and emotionally interesting television series I have ever watched.  The visual design, quirkiness, fast-paced dialogue, and music of every episode leaves you laughing and filled with all things happy when the murder cases come to a steady close by the touch of the Pie-Maker’s finger.  The tension between Ned and Chuck not being able to touch brings you closer to the characters and creates such a unique connection between fictional people and real life.  If you haven’t seen it or heard of it, do yourself a favor and buy Seasons 1 & 2.  Note: Bryan Fuller, series creator, has stated that he is working with DC Comics to release a 12-issue comic series that will continue and finalize the Pushing Daisies story.  And don’t forget the “Pushing Daisies movie” rumor.

From the great words spoken by narrator Jim Dale: “At that moment, in the town of Couer d’ Couers, events occurred that are not, were not, and should never be considered an ending, for endings, as it is known, are where we begin.”  Pushing Daisies.

Ned the Pie Maker.  Chuck Charles the Dead Girl.  Emerson Cod the P.I..  Olive Snook the Itty Bitty.  Lily & Vivian Charles the aunts.  Digby the dog.  Narrator Jim Dale.  You will truly be missed.
