Pushing Daisies

I can't help being totally smitten with this show. It is the perfect blend of funny/quirky, sweet/romantic, with a little drama and action to boot. I also love that the creators aren't afraid to throw in cheesy musical numbers, ala "Grease" and "They Might Be Giants." No one can blame them. After all, with the hilarious and talented Kristin Chenoweth among the fabulous cast, how could they help it? Not to mention "the" Prince Charming himself, Lee Pace, and the absolutely darling Anna Friel. Add to that the eye-popping sets and "Chuck's" gorgeous wardrobe, and there is enough eye-candy to last until the next episode. Even Jay likes it. And that's saying something.

  1. I am totally loving this show too! I think they might have an LDS writer... one week with Wilford Woodruff, the next with Lemuel. What do you think???

    Who are you going to Wicked with??

  3. My sister-in-law pointed out another great/funny thing about this show. Did you notice that the Asian guy in the episode 2 weeks ago was named Wilford Woodruff? Last week's villian (the episode with the windmill) was named Lemuel. Coincidence? I wonder.

    I am also smitten with this show. Lee Pace is a dream!

  4. Oh darn. I need to make it a habit to read previous comments before I post my own. Well, I'm glad someone else noticed.

  5. OK, I have put this series on my Netflix queue. I am a bit sceptical but I keep hearing great things.

    On the skeptical note, have you ever watched Friday Night Lights? Heard that was good too, but maybe more for teens. I'm going to give it a few more episodes before I cross it off the list.
