Pushing Daisies Review: "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy" (Episode 209) and "The Norwegians" (Episode 210)
With precious few episodes left, Pushing Daisies is really picking up momentum in its story arcs. In "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy," Olive proved her investigating worth to Emerson, which could lead to a world outside of the pie hole, for good. And Chuck's dad (understandably) proved to be so protective of his daughter he advocated for her to remove the biggest threat to her safety: Ned.... read more

Forgive me for being a little late to the game, but I suppose I'm still in mourning over Pushing Daisies' inevitable but hopelessly disappointing cancellation. With the news creator Bryan Fuller is headed back to NBC's Heroes, the chances of Daisies being brought back to life is slim to none, despite the best efforts from fans. Alas, we can only take solace in the few episodes the series has left. Still, the cancellation really stings because the show seems to be really hitting its stride.... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsPushing Daisies Review: "Oh Oh Oh... It's Magic" (Episode 206)
After a three-week hiatus, Pushing Daisies returned with a buoyant new episode that further developed three of the four over-arching second-season plotlines. (Emerson's missing daughter has yet to be fleshed out.) "Oh Oh Oh... It's Magic" also guest starred Fred Willard, and for anyone who has seen his performance in this, you'd know that is a very good thing indeed. Now, onto those story lines:... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsPushing Daisies review. Episode 2.05—"Dim Sum, Lose Some"
You'd be forgiven if you missed the latest episode of Pushing Daisies, seeing how Barack Obama bought airtime on every major network besides ABC (although, inexplicably, the show's ratings increased by 14%, further proof people are t-i-r-e-d of this election.) Regardless, it was an especially enjoyable episode, one that ended on an interesting cliff-hanger involving what has proven to be the over-arching story for the season: Ned's father.... read more

Well, I feel silly. I've been pretty explicit in expressing my indignation over some of the story lines set up in the second season of Pushing Daisies, but I stand corrected. Last night's episode, "Bad Habits," miraculously wove all the separate plot lines together in a profound and transcendentally touching way. It was not only one of the best episodes of the entire series, but one of the best episodes of any show on television in recent memory. Period.... read more
Found in: Blogs, Ctrl-VTV Detail: Pushing Daisies review. Episode 2.02—"Circus, Circus"
My fear with Pushing Daisies from the start was it would become stale. How many times can Ned, Chuck and Emerson sleuth around and solve murders before it becomes, well, boring? Each episode is essentially the same—transposing one exotic locale for another (like say a beehive-shaped office for a vibrant three-ring circus) alongside an array of colorful characters (and possible murderers), interspersed by the witty repartee between its lead characters. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a recipe for longevity. And as much as it pains to say, the second episode of the season—"Circus, Circus"—was even more lackluster than its... read more
