Pushing Daisies, ABC, 8pm Wed. Options

[synthase]

I have seen tons of commercials on this new show and it seems very interesting. I still can't believe no one has made a topic about this show yet!

Grown up Ned (Lee Pace) puts his talent to good use by touching dead fruit and making it ripe with everlasting flavor. He opens a pie shop. But his gift leaves him wary of becoming close to anyone, as beautiful waitress Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth) finds out. His life as a pie maker gets more complicated when private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) finds out about Ned's secret. Emerson convinces the cash-strapped Ned to help him solve murder cases (and collect the hefty reward fees) by raising the dead and getting them to name their killers.

Then Ned is handed the case that changes his life forever. His childhood sweetheart, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Anna Friel), is murdered on a cruise ship under strange circumstances. Her death brings him back to his hometown of Coeur d' Coeurs to bring Chuck back to life, albeit briefly, and solve the crime. But once reunited with Chuck, Ned can't bring himself to send her back. He helps her escape after her grieving aunts, Lily and Vivian (Swoosie Kurtz, Ellen Greene), former synchronized swimmers Darling Mermaid Darlings, think they've buried her forever.

Chuck becomes the third partner in Ned and Emerson's PI enterprise, but she encourages them to use their skills for good, not just for profit. Ned is overjoyed to be reunited with Chuck, the only girl he's ever loved. Life would be perfect, except for one cruel twist -- if he ever touches her again, she'll go back to being dead, this time for good.

What caught my attention was it was from Bryan Fuller from Heroes. The idea seems really creative.
It starts October 3, Wednesday at 8 to 9pm on ABc..anyone gonna watch it?

Heres the trailer:

There's not a thread on this? Odd.

I must admit, when I first heard about it I was like "huh? that sounds kinda dumb." but I deffinately will be watching it. The more I've heard about it the more it's grown on me. I just hope that it's something good and something that the network doesn't cancel right away (like many stations do.)

I watched the leaked pilot already...I LOVE IT! Lee Pace and Anna Friel are so adorable together, the concept is entirely original and well-executed, and so quirky! I can't wait for more episodes.

[*karmakiller*]

Ah, the chick who's in the show (I have no idea who she is) was on The View a while ago... that's where I remember hearing a lot about it. She's talks really funny though, that might annoy me when I watch the show, haha.

[LovableGullible]

it looks like an interesting show I might end up watching it or recording it on DVR. :)

[Simba]

I thought this was going to be about KC's drug pushing adventures.

[dustbunny]

I'm excited for this show

[HakunaMatata]

Wow, I definitely could not of gathered all of that from the commercials. The commercials looked cool, and I was going to give it a try, but I definitely will now that I know the entire plot.

And Gigi, how the heck did you already watch the entire episode? xD

^ BitTorrent is your friend. And so is Mininova. =)

[synthase]

ahhah BitTorrent. I'm too lazy and impatient to download stuff on Bit

I know! When I saw the previews for this I thought itd be some Disney thing. I can't believe it doesn't come out til October. I'll be waiting on it. The ads that they have put up everywhere doesn't help too much either.

[AimeeLynn]

I think I would watch it since it looks interesting and different. =]
But I don't know when it's on so w.e.

[EmoEyelinerx]

At first I thought it looked stupid but after awhile it started to grow on me. It seems like it would be like Ghost Wisperer though.. Im going to watch it anyways, I hope its good :)

[*karmakiller*]

It looks like it might be complicated. That or they just want to make it sounds confusing and then it'll be simple.

[*IVIike*]

it looks really sweet... I really want to see it

[*Moderator*]

Yay. October is drawing nearer. I can't help but think it'll be like CSI disney status.

[LimeStickyNotes]

I am so excited to see this. It looks beautifully done.I think it's crazy that he won't be able to touch the woman he loves the most. that sucks :(

[annalucky]

I saw a lot of advertisements and commercials for the show too. Watched like 5 minutes of it and then I quit.

[Tung]

only think i watch on ABC is LOST. other shows are pretty much crap.

[nosylilme]

I liked it. It's a lot different than other shows I've seen.


Woot! 200th post.

[synthase]

Blehh..it was pretty good but a lot of killing and murdering..worse than CSI, IMO

[*Michelle*]

I heard that this was a great show from my art teacher. Unfortunately, it plays during Gossip Girl >_<

[HakunaMatata]

^WHAT??!?!?!?!?!?!

Damn, I guess I'll be watching this one online. ):

[*karmakiller*]

Hah, I was wondering why it was called Pie-lette instead of Pilot. I liked it, but that narrators voice kept reminding me of the wallgreens commercials...

[Gigi]

"Bitch, I was in proximity!"

"I'll be so mad if you're lying, you'll have me scratching the drapes!"
"Please don't attack the window treatments."

Haha, that was pretty funny. The humour is dry and Lee Pace is completely deadpan; the conversation is really quite quick, actually Gilmore Girls-esque, so if you don't like that you might not like this.


Awww.
