Tonight I watched the premiere of Pushing Daisies. Go check out the official site for some extra info. This show is so great. The colors are vivid, the characters are interesting, there’s an awesome narrator, it’s a fairy tale full of quirkiness and it’s just awesome.
It’s created by Bryan Fuller, who co-created my favorite quirky, canceled, undiscovered show, Wonderfalls. Wonderfalls was only on the air for four episodes, but they were glorious and delightful. When it came out on DVD, I promptly went out and bought it for the full 14 episodes of awesome. Highly recommended!
But back to the show that is currently on the air right now. Pushing Daisies stars Lee Pace, who was also in Wonderfalls. The cast includes Chi McBride, Swoosie Kurtz, and the woman who played Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors! It is full of goodness.
Please please watch this show! I can’t bear to see another quirky, wonderful, offbeat, unusual show canceled before it’s given a chance.

It was pretty cute. I liked the opening episode, but I’m curious where it’s gonna go from here. Also a very syrupy show, which isn’t inherently bad, but noticeable! Narration is great and well written.
More amusing than bits of other “solve murders by talking to the dead” shows I’ve seen, though.
And I loved Wonderfalls, so here’s hoping. I remember it was an effort to see those four episodes when they first aired.
One that I’ve been enjoying is “Life”, which is stylish, funny, and has a fantastic lead actor.
I love this show too. I love the weird and fairy tale like narrator. The sets are like Tim Burton on Ecstacy.
