Looks like this amusing and entertaining new show on ABC is worth coming back for seconds and thirds..........

Show swings right into the main character and the gift he posesses with some good and hate to say bad that is gonna live with him for the rest of his life....


To sum up the show I see it as Tim Burton meets Six Feet Under :rolleyes:

Ditto on the Six Feet Under, but it seemed very Willie Wonka-ish at certain points of the show.

I missed the first 20 minutes of it, but I got into it immediately. I'm a big Kristin Chenoweth fan too. This is definitely my favorite new show this season.

I saw it too and thought it was okay. Barry Sonnenfeld's interview on Letterman the other night got me interested enough to give it a shot.

I think I'm going to be watching episodes of this new show, and I know if it is a success, won't interfere with "Lost" which is on the same network which may come back on the same night. And it reminded me of a brightly lit Tim Burton movie.... kind of like Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish.

Watch that and the ratings and see how it goes.

Most promising new show this season, as far as I'm concerned. It was different enough to be interesting, and quirky enough to be entertaining. Like any show, I'll have to give it a few episodes, but I'm really optimistic about this one.

My boyfriend keeps bugging me to see this show, and my sister's interested in it, as well. The first episode will be airing again tonight at 8, and it looks interesting enough, so I'll give it a shot. The full episode's also online at abc.com (http://www.abc.com).

Even though I taped the first episode (I tend to tape shows I like), I watched and it's pretty good for my taste (I have a macabre sense of humor). It's a quirky show but it has that old-fashioned romance element in it.

Oh, and don't say the name of the guy's bakery out loud. ;)

No problem! :)

The encore presentation of the first episode of "Pushing Daisies" actually aired at 7 pm here (not at 8). I loved the quirkiness, the unconventional premise, the narration... it'd be interesting to see where this goes.

For those that listen to the AUDIO Books of The Harry Potter series thats Jim Dale narrating the show. Something about that guys voice just makes whats being presented 10X better IMO. I immediately zeroed right onto his voice when I heard it when the main character as a boy running down with his dog and they are coming across a road and the dog runs ahead of the boy and ............... :eek:

I love watching Barry Sonnenfeld on interviews. He's a riot.:D

I thought the show was pretty good. Loved the visuals, quirky characters, actors. I may take in another episode or two, but I don't know if I'll continue watching. I think it would have been better as a movie.
