5.0 out of 5 stars Great show!, July 4, 2011
By 
This review is from: Pushing Daisies Season 1 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
For the two weeks that I was watching this show from the first season to the second and last, I walked around in the greatest mood with a giant stupid smile on my face. It is light, romantic, incredible sweet, witty, funny, intelligent. It does not trivialize matters and it does deal with some pretty deep things, but it's a lesson in taking hard things in life lightly and still seeing the world with all its vivid colors and smiling about it. Lovely show. I wish there were even more of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good show, August 3, 2011
By 
Matt (Missouri USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pushing Daisies Season 1 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
Synopsis: A fairy tale where a man can bring things back to life by touching them, they can only be around for a minute, any longer and "someone else dies" while they live. Naturally, he teams up with a private investigating who exposes his talents and together they solve mysteries. (I mean, what else could he do?)

Ned, the pie maker is immediately tested by learning that the woman he loved as a child (Chuck), has died. He makes the hard decision of keeping her alive, while someone else passes on. Did I mention he could never touch her?

Review:

Too bad it was canceled! Olive Snook (played by Kristin Chenoweth) received an Emmy for her stellar performance. When she received the award she noted how it's odd to receive a reward for a show that was canceled. Pushing Daisies also received several other nominations and awards. The stories are cleverly written and the acting is on par. After awhile, the stories tended to drag on and seem mix to togetherl; all while your trying to keep up with the fast pace narration and dialogue. Mid way through many episodes I found myself getting lost through the dialogue, trying what to pick out what's important, and what was simply there for it's whimsical value.

For whatever reason, ABC decided to cancel the show while season 2 was still in production. I'm guessing mid/late year reviews were too poor for the show to continue. ABC did play the entirety of Season 2 on the regular show nights. All of the characters are likeable, even the "villains". All in all, a good watch!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like quirky, you must check this out, November 19, 2011

This review is from: Pushing Daisies Season 1 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
I don't usually write reviews, but I saw this one only had two, and I had to throw some love its way. We bought this after watching just the first disc, it's really a fun show. It's got a quirky cast, a great narrator (Jim Dale!), and a great schtick. It's not laugh-out-loud, and it's not potty humor or frat-boy humor. It's a bit unconventional, but is sort of a sweet and charming romantic comedy that ends up being pretty witty and with a supernatural twist. I would say the closest thing I could compare this to is maybe a Terry Pratchett novel.
