Pushing for "Pushing Daisies"


I have added a lot of new TV shows in our DVR but only a handful stood out for me. "Pushing Daisies " is one of those that I will very religiously keep watching. It's a gem of a fairytale and is such a joy to watch. In a landscape of redundant forensic labs and bloody cop shows, a little fairy tale is welcome indeed. Although it may have its flaws, it is sweet, very creative and quirky. Everybody likes quirky, right? ;-)
For some reason, the show reminded me of the movie, "The Big Fish".The characters are interestingly lush and well-developed. The actors are pretty good and convincing in their roles. I've recently heard that the show was picked up for the entire season so imagine my relief. It seems to me that a lot of fall shows which started out strong ended up being cancelled due to low ratings and poor viewership. I can't wait for the next episode. If you didn't get to catch the premiere episode, check out their website to find out what the show is all about. Give it a chance. You will surely get addicted to it too, guaranteed.
