Fri Nov 09 2007This is by far my favorite new show of the season, Episodes are self contained, but there is also wonderful continuity as tiny secrets the characters have are revealed to other characters each week. It's charming and wonderfully optimistic but also has a dark side, it'll be interesting to see how the writers pull this one off. It was definitely influenced by Amelie than wonderful French movie, in tone and cinematography and I hope the cost of the high production values of this show doesn't scare off the Network. This show is a must see, it's dripping with romance and both subtle and not-so-subtle humor, and there are the occasional forays into the musical genre too.

Thu Nov 01 2007Clever, funny show that is incredibly layered and subtle. Every actor in this does a terrific job. Worth watching and making Wednesday night at eight a must see television time.

Sun Oct 21 2007I've been watching the show since it aired its Pielette ;-) And I gotta say I really, really love the show! It has a Roald Dahl feel to it (James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.), with whimsy and colorful sets. High brow intelligent comedy, this show has simple storylines with perfectly fantastic twists, sub story lines, and perfectly timed comedy. ABC please keep this show on the air! Its the only show in many years to have brought me back to your network from NBC. And that's a hard thing to do!

Thu Oct 18 2007Absolutely Wonderful!! I had about given up hope on anything good staying on TV since CBS pulled the brilliant "Creature Comforts" off the air after only 3 episodes. ABC has done me proud, though, with "Pushing Daisies" and I now have a reason to watch primetime television again. I just hope ABC and the producers of Daisies can afford to maintain this obviously costly show for many seasons to come.

Thu Oct 18 2007I find this to be the best written, most imaginative comedic television show to be aired in a long, long time. It has a fairytale feel to it, yet at the same time deftly explores human emotions in a manner rarely seen on commercial television. If people will simply take the time to watch this show with its quirky yet compelling concept, they will be hooked. I hope this show lasts a long, long time...

Thu Oct 11 2007Pushing Daisies is quite possibly the most unique show to come to network television since the show "Carnivale" - also eccentric and morbid. The casting is strong, the story telling has revived the sitcom, and the narration is perfect. I love this show and hope the viewership agrees so, for once, a show that requires a little intellect will stay on television. I have had it with the CSI spinoffs; give me magic. Pushing Daisies brings magic (through fantastic technicolor) back to television, but with a Hitchcockian macabre. Excellent!

Wed Oct 10 2007I love this show! I wasn't sure I would and hadn't really planned to watch it but the brilliantly witty dialog, quirky narration and totally unique storyline grabbed my attention right off the bat! How nice to have giggle out loud moments with my teenage son and not worry about inappropriate language poppping up, freaks on reality shows or 'wardrobe malfunctions"! Bravo ABC! I will keep watching!

Wed Oct 10 2007I absolutely LOVED this show!!! Can't wait to see it tonight for the second time. I agree that it has a Dr Suess feel to it, but that is the beauty of it. It's brilliant!!! Boutique travel travel boutique...love it!

Sat Oct 06 2007Great premise, refreshing idea but I was totally disappointed! Why am I the only one who is annoyed by the fact that he was somehow able to not touch the dog by accident? I can accept and enjoy all sorts of fantastical premises, magical powers, great! X-ray vision, why not? Telepathy, you betcha! I love shows about vampires, space travel, ghosts, aliens, etc. but the reality portion has to be just a tad bit believable. I know it's such a tiny detail but life is in the details! I can't stop thinking about dogs I've owned and wondering, "What if the dog gets into bed with him while he's asleep and touches him"? And don't dogs tend to jump up on you and lick your face and/or hands? Every dog I've ever owned did. I love the unreal qualities of the show and I want to like it but this detail is so irksome! I can also see some predictability as well like the whole sexual tension/awkwardness between Ned, Chuck, and Olive. I think I can see a pattern of Ned leaving previously dead people alive ...

Sat Oct 06 2007Thank God somebody has the power to get a show on network TV, where you might have to use a little bit of BRAIN power. I'm a Christian ,52,live in the south, and have been praying for someone to come along and give us a reason to stay creative in this Kareoke second guessing marketing ladened society that we have handed to our children.Sorry kids, it really use to be FUN and inspiring to be a kid in America. You use to have to be really funny and talented to get a record deal , or get on TV. Anyway I'm sounding old .... thanks ABC for not feeding us the same old crap.

Fri Oct 05 2007Most creative show I've seen in years. Whoever does not like this show is dull because cop and medical shows are getting old.

Thu Oct 04 2007For me it wasnt as good as the hype that preceded the first episode. I personally dont think it will make the season so if you like the show be a diligent viewer and maybe it will stay. For me, once was enough. Also, there were too many ads and not enough of the story.
by darren727
Thu Oct 04 2007Pretty good idea, excellent writing, great casting, lots of imagination and visually pleasing. I hope that they can keep it fresh considering the premise is simple. If each episode is as good as the first, this is one of my new favorite shows.

Thu Oct 04 2007It's absolutely REFRESHING!! Smart and funny dialogue, endearing characters - not to mention visually stunning, this show has what it takes.

Thu Oct 04 2007Too much of a cartoon. Not a theme that keeps me interested. Hope it gets better.

Thu Oct 04 2007Not worth the time.

Wed Oct 03 2007Saw this tonight. pretty good so far. a young man named Ned found out as a boy that if he touched someone who was dead, they came alive. but could only be alive for one minute or someone else would up and die in their place. he had to keep this a secret of course. years later now about 28 he is a pie maker. still can bring people to life. when a detective played by Chi McBride{not sure of his official title} he witnesess what Ned can do he talks him into working with him on solving crimes where someone dies by murder or suspicious. he is called to help a victim "chuck" {charlotte} and boyhood crush he had on her.he brings her to life but cannot touch her to make her dead again{ the second touch puts them back to death} quirky show told in fairy style way. so far we like this. could have a lot of potential. looks to be a good cast. would at least recommend someone give it a try.
