The second season of the series came to an end on June 13, 2009 with the season finale entitled “Kerplunk”. As per the Nielsen ratings, the season ender received 2.23 million viewers. Though the last episode of the season failed to attract a big no. of audience, the initial episodes did a brilliant job in terms of ratings. The season opener “Bzzzzzzzzz!” attracted 6.32 million viewers. The ratings remained good till the episode “The Norwegians” which drew in 4.82 million viewers. The next three episodes namely Window Dressed to Kill, Water and Power and Kerplunk failed to get a good response from viewers and get 2.35, 2.29 and 2.23 millions respectively. Ultimately, Pushing Daisies lost its existence and went in the box of the canceled TV shows. Although fans were not ready to give up their favorite TV shows, they had to bow down in front of the show creators and accept their not-good decision.

The series went off air on June 13, 2009 and the DVD of the second season would come into stores approximately after one month to it. Warner Brothers Home Entertainment is planning to release the DVD of the second season on July 21, 2009. Okay, tell me, what is the logic behind releasing the DVD of a show which has been canceled due to the poor ratings? Well, I think that Pushing Daisies shows can never be forgotten and that’s what the DVD producers make use of.

Pushing Daisies: Season 2 Review

admin — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:49:23 +0000

Season one of Pushing Daisies was a beautiful anomaly. Not only was it critically acclaimed (getting nominated for 11 Emmys and winning 3) it was also a success in the ratings, something that surprised even the critics who loved it, since original and quirky programming generally doesn’t attract a large audience. Then the writers’ strike happened, the nine episodes that were filmed finished airing, and the general public pretty much forgot about Daisies. When the strike ended, instead of rushing the show back into production (like ABC did with their established hits, including Lost and Grey’s Anatomy), the network decided to hold off airing any new Pushing Daisies episodes until fall, which meant the show stayed off the air for ten long months. The result was that Daisies’ season two premiere debuted to less than half the audience its heavily promoted series premiere garnered, and the ratings continued to fall from there, leading to ABC cancelling the series less than two months after the second season premiere, in November 2008.

The general public had forgotten the show, but fans hadn’t, and those who tuned in to Pushing Daisies: Season 2 were treated to a very fun, albeit cut-off, thirteen episode season. Building on the strong characters and quirky settings introduced in the first season, season two ambitiously delved into the characters’ back stories, introducing us to several longterm storylines and constantly playing with the main characters’ relationships (having Olive be Emerson’s “Itty Bitty” partner, turning Chuck into the “Sidekick Avenger” and having Ned question the helpfulness of his powers).

The standout star of Season 2 is Kristin Chenoweth, who stole many a scene as the diminutive Olive Snook. Chenoweth got a lot to do this season, including pining over Chuck, living in a convent, investigating crimes with Emerson, bursting into song, and starting up a whole new romance. With such a stellar cast — featuring actors (and a narrator) who can make rhyming, tongue-twisting dialogue not just fun to hear but also believable — it says a lot when one actor stands out among the rest.

Perhaps most impressive about Pushing Daisies as a whole is its extremely consistent level of quality. With few exceptions (such as the rather uneven “Robbing Hood”) each episode of Daisies: Season 2 features wonderfully alliterative, fast-paced narration and dialogue, important developments for the characters, and an entertaining mystery. The few missteps — such as the annoying and poorly realized Charles Charles, father of Chuck — can be easily overlooked when the overall quality of the writing, sets, acting and direction is so high. When everything clicks — the characters, the overarching storylines and twists — like in the season’s best episode, “The Norwegians” — there’s nothing more entertaining to watch.

One of season two’s biggest story arcs involved Ned reluctantly learning more about his father, who abandoned him as a boy. Over the course of the season we learned some very interesting tidbits, including meeting Ned’s half-brothers and hearing about Ned’s father’s ability to do magic (in “Oh Oh Oh…It’s Magic”). It all seemed to be leading to a very interesting conclusion and perhaps a reveal of Ned’s father, but unfortunately we’ll never get to see it, as the storyline wasn’t addressed in the final episode, “Kerplunk” (which was originally meant to be a mid-season finale).

It’s truly a shame that we’ll never see these characters onscreen again. Seeing Ned, Chuck, Olive and Emerson in various disguises, cracking jokes and catching killers provided hours of entertainment for us here at IGN. We’re certainly interested to see what creator Bryan Fuller plans to do next, now that he’s left Heroes (again) to focus on creating new series.

DVD Review: Pushing Daisies – The Complete First Season

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:20:53 +0000

Pushing Daisies is latest creation of Brian Fuller whose previous credits include Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me. His newest show is original, witty, and delightful. While being an incredibly fun show to watch, it is also extremely well done and earned 12 Emmy nominations for its inaugural season.

Pushing Daisies is the story of Ned (Lee Pace), a pie-maker who has a very special power; he can bring dead people back to life. While this may seem like a blessing, there are a few catches to his ability. When he reanimates someone for longer than one minute, someone else must die, and if he touches the reanimated person for a second time they die again, this time forever. Once Ned fully understands his gift, he decides to keep it a secret and to live a life of solitude. That is, until he meets Emerson Cod (Chi McBride), a private investigator who learns Ned’s secret and talks him into using his powers to solve crimes.

One day Ned discovers that his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte “Chuck” Charles (Anna Friel), has been murdered so he goes to find out who killed her, but when the minute is up, he can’t bring himself to kill her again. He explains everything to her and she understands that she now must now live in secret. This secret is especially hard to keep from the two aunts that raised her, Vivian (Ellen Greene) and Lily (Swoosie Kurtz), agoraphobic, retired synchronized swimmers. The cast of characters also includes Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth), Ned’s waitress at The Pie Hole, who also happens to be madly in love with him.

Due to the writer’s strike the first season was cut short, resulting in only nine episodes. All of the details of the show are very thoughtful, from The Narrator (Jim Dale) who helps to tell the story to the distinctive visual look and camera work, all of which help bring this imaginary world to life. The picture on the DVD looks amazing; the colors are bright and beautiful. The only bonus feature is “Pie Time – Time for Pie,” an extensive interactive featurette that serves up lots of great behind-the-scenes information about the series.

Pushing Daisies is a wonderful fairy tale with charming and quirky characters. Pace is dreamily handsome. He offers a sweet innocence and vulnerability that is endearing. Friel and Chenoweth are perfect as the women yearning for Ned’s affections for very different reasons, and Green and Kurtz are terrific as the kooky sisters.

I am happy to report that the show has been renewed for a second season, which starts on October 1st, and I can’t wait. Due to the shortened first season, they will be providing enough background to capture new viewers. However, there is no reason to wait for this tasty treat when you have the opportunity to dive right in to all that Season One has to offer right now.

Warm up to death

admin — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:28:46 +0000

THERE is something deliciously ironic about the premise of Pushing Daisies. It basically is a recipe for life with death as the main ingredient! That little game of contrasts is present throughout the show, and programme creator Bryan Fuller is the mastermind behind every move. First, he sets up a scary scenario – complete with crafty camera angles and attractive blonde (you know, the kind of scene that would make Alfred Hitchcock proud); then he’ll reveal something that will just make you want to laugh out loud. In one episode, we see a man getting stabbed with a sharp tool, over and over again … and the next scene he drops dead and the “weapon” ends up being the end of a dog brush. Wait, the joke does not end there … the man actually stabbed himself as he was tenaciously trying to stop himself from toppling over while standing on slippery ground.

Investigator Emerson (Chi McBride, centre) and Chuck (Anna Friel, left) wait in anticipation as Ned (Lee Pace) touches a dead person to tell them how he died, in Pushing Daisies.

With episodic titles like The Fun in Funeral and Corpsicle you get an impression of what the series is like.

Even as the tragedy occurs, Pushing Daisies fills our senses with a burst of colours, amazing props, quirky characters, narration and music. While the series largely features dead people – most of whom have died some gruesome death – Pushing Daisies is actually a touching love story about a Prince Charming who rescues a Sleeping Beauty with a single touch … a touch he can never repeat if he wants the said maiden to continue breathing. Too many metaphors? Well, there’s a lot of that going on in this series and it gets a bit contagious.

Pushing Daisies revolves around a pie maker named Ned (the fantastic Lee Pace) who has the ability to bring back the dead with a single touch. Like all reluctant heroes, he sees this ability to be both a curse and a gift. Well, it’s mostly a curse since as a child he accidentally “killed” his mother and his neighbour. However, it became a gift when it meant he could resuscitate his sweetheart, Chuck (the delightful Anna Friel) after she was murdered.

Also, he has been helping a detective, Emerson (Chi McBride) to solve cases involving murders, with his gift. As the very observant narrator (Jim Dale) tells the viewers at the beginning of each episode, Ned and Chuck can never ever touch even though they obviously have feelings for each other. A single touch from Ned would send Chuck to a permanent death. Then there’s the guilt that Ned secretly harbours because the neighbour that dropped dead because of him was actually Chuck’s dad.

What has happened is explained in the beginning of each episode with recaps and a look at Ned’s childhood so anyone arriving late to the series can still catch up. But that would mean you’d have missed all the wonderful set-ups and charming conversations. Not to mention the odd things that go on in the show, which features even stranger characters.

Take Chuck’s two aunts who are truly eccentric – the one-eyed Lily (Swoozie Kurtz) and Vivian (Ellen Greene) – who have retreated from the world and ultimately giving up their life as famed synchronised swimmers upon learning about Chuck’s death. Then there is the detective who knits to keep himself calm, or Ned who talks funny and makes funny faces when he’s ruffled; also a waitress (the pint-sized Kristin Chenowith who makes Pace look like a mini giant) pining for Ned’s love.

Like all those characters created by Fuller in his previous series – Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls – the bunch on this TV series only further prove that odd people are people, too. Admit it, all of us are quirky in our own way. In Fuller’s world, these people are presented in a much richer form upon an equally rich tapestry. Have you ever wondered how you’d handcuff a one-armed bandit? It’s questions like this that keep the show ever so peculiar.

Sadly, Fuller’s kind of world has never appealed to the big studio bosses, what with Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls killed off in their prime. But Pushing Daisies seems to have caught the public eye (yay!) allowing us viewers a chance to watch a show in which love is more than just physical, death is always present alongside life and everyone breaks into song ever so naturally. So for at least one hour a week, why not step into this bizarre and wonderful world … you might just come off craving for a piece of pie and wanting to live life to the fullest.
