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

Pushing Daisies Review: "Robbing Hood" (Episode 207) and "Comfort Food" (Episode 208)

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

What does ABC's cancellation of Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone mean for network TV?

The fact that I hadn’t ever really seen anything like Pushing Daisies should have been my first clue it was headed toward the graveyard. In this day and age—where crime shows, hospital dramas and reality TV dominate the Nielsen’s top tier—there isn’t much room on network television for anything outside of the status quo. Pushing Daisies was just too inventive, too ingenious, and just too damn cute to survive in these turbulent TV times. So it goes....  read more

Pushing Daisies Review: "Oh Oh Oh... It's Magic" (Episode 206)

image not available

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
