I LOVE this show! I usually have rehearsals every Wed night and have to miss it, but I always faithfully Tivo it. It's just such a quirky show that is like nothing else i've seen. It's got such an odd sense of humour about it that I love as well as a lot of heart. I'm interested to see how the plot keeps developing and where they can take it!

How about that cliffhanger tonight?!

[mauriposa]

Posted: 12/12/07 at 10:39pm

And I'm pretty sure that's the last episode we have because of the strike...

I think there is at least one more episode, on Dec. 26th, mauriposa.

I don't think so -- I'm pretty sure I remember reading that that was the last new episode.

yeah if all is as planned, last night was the ninth and final episode, although it was picked up for a full 22. come back soon! this is the only current show i'm addicted to (everything else i like gets canceled). wishing this one a long... life. cheers to: chuck's costumes and machine-gun dialogue!

I stand corrected. Damn I was really looking forward to a new episode too!

i do NOT like the twist that the cliffhanger provided - swoosie kurtz is great as the one-eyed former mermaid, don't put this soap opera crap on top of it.

"don't put this soap opera crap on top of it."

The entire show is a soap opera, with a twisted perspective. You have unrequited love, death, plotting, twisted schemes, over the top characters, secrets, lies, and cliff-hanger endings. What could be more soap opera-ish than that? This show is a soap opera, for people who hate soap operas. I love it!

Actually, there will be a repeated showing of Dummy on the 26th,

JustAGuy, I agree with you.

Although, Lily's revelation was tittering on soap opera, it was tastefully done. Shocking, but tasteful.

I also don't think, with this show, one can judge this revelation on its own. Let's see how it plays out before condemning it.

I pretty much love the show unabashedly. It's even made me an admirer of Chenowith, someone who I tend to regard as one-trick pony.

It's clear to me that the world these people live in is not the world I live in, so that really allows me to just take whatever they have to throw at us.

And I think that the relationship between Ned and Chuck is really one of the most loving and beautiful ones on TV.

I love every minute of this show. It's just amazing.

Don't know if anyone here knew this or not, but do you all remember or know of the ABC deal that John Lloyd Young had or has? Well, Pushing Daisies was a project that they offered JLY. He was offered Lee Pace's role on the show.

But JLY is only about four inches taller than Cheno! It's so much funnier with Lee Pace, who's six feet tall.

i agree - the romance between Chuck and Ned is some of the best chemistry on TV currently.

now just bring back Raul for Olive to have a guy to cuddle with...

I was heartbroken when Chuck was at her father's grave, asked 'The Pie Maker' to bring her father back, and he denied her. Then he threw his coat around her shoulders - and I wanted him to hold her just SO BAD!!! I cannot wait to see how this'll be resolved - if it ever is.

I think this show is absolutely BRILLIANT.

[JB Fan]

Posted: 12/16/07 at 9:07am

Worrell4077, in 2 of JLY's interviews hevsays he was flying to LA to audition for several ABC pilots, one was PUSHING DAISIES...he then got off the plane only to get a call from his agents cancelling the audition appoitment for PUSHING DAISIES because the role had been cast.


Jon- Kristin Chenoweth is 4'11" and JLY is 5'7". 8 inches difference there/not 4.

JB Fan, I know, but in the interview it never mentioned what part he went to audition for.

[JB Fan]

Posted: 12/16/07 at 9:27am

Worrell4077 - what other role would it have been? There is only one male, late 20s on the show (series regular, I mean)

You said he was OFFERED the role/I was clarifying that he was not offered the role. By saying he was offered the role/and now someone else has it is confusing, because it makes it sound like he turned down the role and then they cast Lee Pace.

No, they cast Lee Pace and cancelled the audition.

Here is the quote from the Playbill.com interview:

"One of the projects that passed through Young's hands features a number of other stage stars: 'Pushing Daisies' with Kristin Chenoweth, Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene. 'I saw the script, which I thought was great. Literally, like an hour after I got off the plane in L.A. to read for it, I got a call from my agent that it was cast. All of those things were easy to take in stride because I was starring in a Broadway show.'"

The show is simply brilliant. One of the best TV shows I've seen. It's so magical, witty, dirty, romantic, smart, and entertaining, I can't help but love it.
I love the new friendship between Anna Friel and Kristin Chenoweth's characters. They have great chemistry together. I'm also a big fan of Ellen Greene, she's adorable in the show.
I thought it was brilliant how they switched from the mermaid hologram right to Olive's shocked face, I never saw that coming. It was pretty huge and clever.
The cliffhanger was fun. Just like UGLY BETTY is the kind of show that is a soap opera that always comments on itself, it winks at the audience, it's great. I love it!

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Ellen Greene.
