Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 13
"Kerplunk"
June 13, 2009 - 10:06p.m.
The idea of “new beginnings” is a common (and easy) way to address the ending of a series, but it’s particularly apt in the case of Pushing Daisies, which itself began with an ending—specifically the end of Chuck ...

"Water And Power"
June 6, 2009 - 10:06p.m.
Last week I mentioned that it looked unlikely that we would get a satisfying conclusion to all of the dangling Pushing Daisies plot threads before the series ended. Well, ol’ Corpseface and Ned’s father are still nowhere to be ...

"Window Dressed To Kill"
May 31, 2009 - 02:05p.m.
It’s been a long, drab, pie-less five and a half months, but it’s finally here: Our one last sugar-laced gasp of Pushing Daisies before it officially succumbs to cancellation. And we can only hope that the lovely “Window ...

"The Norwegians"
December 17, 2008 - 09:12p.m.
So many secrets, so little time. With only three episodes left before Pushing Daisies kicks the bucket, there are still countless loose ends that need to be tied up. And while tonight's episode did tie off one of many ...

Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 9
"The Legend Of Merle McQuoddy"
December 10, 2008 - 09:12p.m.
Well, I believe we're in the midst of what they call a hot streak. I don't think it's just sentimentality over the immanent end of Pushing Daisies that's made the last three episodes seem so spot-on ...

Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 8
"Comfort Food"
December 3, 2008 - 09:12p.m.
So, do you think if enough of us got together, put on our little pie-shaped hats, and stormed the ABC offices bearing lemon icebox pie and belting out old Bangles hits that the network might be convinced to let Kristen ...

Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 7
Robbing Hood
November 27, 2008 - 12:11p.m.
Well, that dangling sword has finally dropped. Pushing Daisies will not return after this season's 13th episode. It feels like we've been discussing the likelihood of this show's longevity since the first episode. And while it's ...

"Oh Oh Oh ... It's Magic"
November 19, 2008 - 08:11p.m.
Genevieve asked me to pinch-hit this week while she attends to other obligations. By way of sweetening the pot, she proffered possibly the last chance to share my thoughts on the show "since it's apparently been 'about to be ... -
Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 5
Dim Sum, Lose Some
October 29, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
So, do you think ABC decided to air Pushing Daisies against Barack Obama's 30-minute network blitz this week as a show on confidence in the struggling series, or as a sneaky maneuver to torpedo its ratings enough to justify ...

Frescorts
October 22, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
Perhaps it's because last week's death turned out to be accidental and took place in the sanctified confines of a convent, but tonight's whodunit felt especially creepy by comparison. I know I've made this point before ...

Pushing Daisies: season 2, episode 3
"Bad Habits"
October 15, 2008 - 11:10p.m.
Pushing Daisies, as a series, hovers somewhere in the intersection of comedy, mystery, and serialized drama. Generally the comedy and mystery elements vie for most recognition, tossing punny quips and last-minute twists back and forth to compete for the audience ...

Circus, Circus
October 8, 2008 - 09:10p.m.
You knew it was coming. As soon as you saw the rainbow wig, as soon as you saw the funny car get pulled out of the lake, you knew exactly what was going to come out of it. Of course ...

"Bzzzzzzzzz!"
October 1, 2008 - 09:10p.m.
Before I begin tonight's blog, I am making a solemn vow to you, dear readers, that nary a bee-related pun shall make its way from my Pushing Daisies-addled mind onto your computer screens. Besides, what would be the ...

Pushing Daisies: season 1, episode 9
"Corpsicle"
December 12, 2007 - 10:12p.m.
Maybe it's the crappy weather. Maybe it's the holiday stress. Maybe it's the prospect of months ahead with no new Pushing Daisies. Whatever it is, I can't remember the last time this show left me feeling ...

Pushing Daisies: season 1, episode 8
"Bitter Sweets"
November 29, 2007 - 08:11a.m.
Pushing Daisies taught us a very important lesson tonight: "Don't mess with the Pie Hos!" I believe a resounding "oh snap!" is the only proper response to that.
I was starting to get a little concerned about 20 minutes ...

"Smell Of Success"
November 21, 2007 - 10:11p.m.
The facts are these: Genevieve is away this Thanksgiving Eve, so I'm sitting in on my personal favorite TV Club blog, with no expectations that I'll be able to match our regular hostess' wit and insight. The best ... -

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Pushing Daisies blog to bring you the following message:
OMG PUPPIES!!

Pushing Daisies: season 1, episode 5
"Girth"
October 31, 2007 - 09:10p.m.
As the weeks go by, it's becoming more obvious that Pushing Daisies is not going to be about head-scratching, Lost-esque twists in the name of advancing an ongoing, unwieldy plot. Rather, the name of the game seems to ...

Pigeon
October 24, 2007 - 09:10p.m.
First things first: Pushing Daisies has officially been picked up for a full season (22 episodes) by ABC, which means we have at least 18 more weeks of candy-coated cracked-out weirdness ahead of us. I, for one, am as pleased ...

Pushing Daisies: season 1, episode 3
"The Fun In Funeral"
October 17, 2007 - 09:10p.m.
So, Mr. Sonnenfeld, where exactly did all that money go? Other than dandelion headdresses and fields of yellow CGI flowers, I mean?
This week's episode of Pushing Daisies was the first not directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, following his ousting ...

Pushing Daisies: season 1, episode 2
"Dummy"
October 10, 2007 - 09:10p.m.
Hopefully, those who couldn't take the whimsy of last week's Pushing Daisies premiere stayed away this week, because, had they watched this episode, chances are their heads would have exploded, spewing rainbows and glitter all over the couch ...

(Premieres tonight on ABC at 8 p.m. ET)
