Canadian. Because we have different channels air shows from various networks there is the inevitable overlap in scheduling as our channels try keep as close with the U.S. networks as possible.....so the occasional program airs here a day early, or a day late, and Pushing Daisies happens to be one of them.Originally posted by Thunderstorm View Post

It scares me when you do that. Every time I see you talking about an ep I go, "Oh crap! I forgot to watch?!"
Once I gain confidence in knowing which night it's on that'll probably go away.Comment

From this week's TVGuide:
http://www.tvguide.com/news/pushing-...rets/071017-01Pushing Daisies' Secrets: How the Storybook Came to Life
"A guy who loves a girl wants to be left alone to make pies but can't because of the situa?*tion he's in." So star Lee Pace explains his surreal new ABC series Pushing Daisies (Wednesdays, 8 pm/ET, ABC). For those who have yet to cultivate a Dai?*sies crush, the situation is this: Pace's character, Ned, a lonely pie baker, can bring the dead back to life with a touch — but can also kill with one more. Which kinda throws a kink into romancing Chuck (Anna Friel), the childhood sweetheart he's resurrected from the grave. Here's a primer to ABC's promising freshman fantasy. ... *snip*Comment

Does the show think I'm stupid?!
I get it, I don't need 90% of the damn narration! I'm not an idiot! For explaining some charaters, that's fine, for doing flashbacks, that's fine, but they explain every damn little thing and it's just too much!
Best episode yet, it wasn't over the top cuteish, but that narration drives me insane.Comment

To each his own. I happen to like the narration. Probably my least fav of the 3 eps - not as quirky as the other 2 but still good. Maybe this style is just not for you.Originally posted by Oreo View Postsigpic

I liked Emerson running out of the funeral home when he was afraid the time was going to elapse and then when Ned and Chuck found him -
Emerson: Anybody dead back there that shouldn't be?
Ned: No.
Emerson: Sweet.
And Emerson was doing a really good job and making Ned feel guilty before they eventually went back to the funeral home.
I didn't like Olive much when the show started but now I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
I also loved the southern accent for Woodruff. I don't think it would work for a serious show but was great for this style.
There was a preview for next week at the end of the US showing. ABC has the preview up for tonight's ep so if you wait a couple days hopefully they will have the one for next weeks ep.

Probably not, but I like it more than when I watched the pilot, plus I love the fact they named it Pie-lette. I have a feeling that future episodes will be more like this one and less like the first two because there are rumours they are going over budget (never a good thing for a TV show, nevermind a new TV show) and this one seems to be "cheaper". I also think the narration will only be used as needed, aka less, in future episodes.Originally posted by Thunderstorm View Post
I also will watch for a few different reasons...
I love Kristin Chenoweth and will watch whatever she is in.
It's done by the Dead Like Me guy.
It's different, and I'm sick of cops, lawyers, doctor, and super hero shows.
I also gave up on Invasion and that became a wonderful show that was canceled because people ditched it because the first several episodes were terrible.
And I like this review...
http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/10/17/pu...eral/#commentsLet's deal with the narration problem first. Being a fan of the movie Amélie, I enjoyed the narration when watching the Daisies' pilot. I thought it was charming and added a nice touch to an already colorful setting. However, while watching "The Fun in Funeral," all I wanted to do was jump in the TV and put tape over the narrator's mouth so he would stop talking! This is the third episode, can we please not be reminded of how Ned's powers work, why/how he revived Chuck, the fact that he brought his mother back to life, thus killing Chuck's father, and how Emerson found out about Ned's gift and teamed up with him? It's not rocket science, we understood how things worked two weeks ago!
I get that the writers probably wrote that in so that new viewers would not be lost but couldn't they have used a "previously on Pushing Daisies" clip instead of inserting that recap within the episode? And if viewers start watching the show after the second episode, wouldn't have said viewers read about the show online or heard about it from their friends and co-workers around the water cooler? I still love the narration part of the show, but the writers need to stop bringing people up to speed every episode and need to find enough to write about to fill an entire episode (see last week's "Hopelessly Devoted" scene for another example of writers not having enough to write about).
Guess which comment is mine.
EDIT -Am I watching the same show?!I also loved the southern accent for Woodruff. I don't think it would work for a serious show but was great for this style.
