The first two episodes are finally out! Shows this great are rare. Definitely the best new series of the season.

Where the pilot was part Wonderfalls part Big Fish, the second episode is part Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy part Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Goodness all the way through.

I thought the car of the future was supposed to fly. What the hell happened to flying cars?

This show is so awesome!!  I hope everybody is watching it.  I finally watched a couple episodes the other day, & I love it!  I agree that it feels a lot like Wonderfalls, which makes sense, since the writer (who is brilliant) wrote for both shows.  It's also probably one of the most colorful shows I've ever seen.  Seriously, all shows should be this fun.

I dunno, I find it sort of irritating.  Maybe I should watch a few more episodes, but I miss the cynicism of Wonderfalls.

This show continues to amaze. It's five episodes in and there has yet to be an episode I didn't like yet. I'm just sad there's not going to be a new episode this week.

I think the cynicism of Wonderfalls is still there. It's just wrapped in a fairytale package.

Surprisingly, rather than being cancellation bait, this series was the exact opposite. It has been one of the most successful new series of the season. Sadly, it may be the writer's strike that cuts this first season short.

Bryan Fuller, the show's creator, recently announced that he scrambled to rewrite episode nine shortly before the strike began so it could serve as a season finale if the strike is not resolved in time to write any more episodes for the season. While it will be nice to have some kind of closure rather than be left hanging until (or if) the show returns the following season, it will be disappointing if the first season only gets to be nine episodes long.

I didn't think it was cancellation bait--before it even aired, it had an aura of success about it.

It's good that they prepared for the strike--that'll make for less angry fans.

Another great episode tonight.

With such a simple, seemingly one dimensional premise, I thought this show would get boring. But the writer's (before the strike) keep finding new creative and entertaining ways to continue moving the story forward. Most of the shows that I watch right now seem to waist at least a few episodes each season to "set up" future episodes. Pushing Daisies is rare in the fact that it sets up future plot points without having a single stagnant episode.

And I love that  in every episode we discover something deeper about every single character...no characters are ever left out.

If any of you have not watch this series yet, you are missing out on what I believe is the best current show on T.V. this fall.

I'm with Dempsey. If you have not seen this show yet, what are you waiting for? I'd go as far as to say it's not only "the best current show on TV this fall" but that it is probably in the top ten greatest shows of all time (up there with Doctor Who and Firefly).

The newest episode was hilarious: "death by scratch-and-sniff" and pop-up books. A premise like that could only work on Pushing Daisies. The series started out with hints of Big Fish and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I believe it's found its own voice now.

"Go lying!  Or...yay not telling the truth..."

This show is so amazing!  Every episode I see, I love it even more.  Everything about it is wonderful--the dialogue, the colors, the cast, the guest stars, the plot points, the humor...I love it all!  Also, this:

Quoted from http://imdb.com/title/tt0925266/faq#.2.1.1

Creator Bryan Fuller states that "Pushing Daisies" takes place in "Pushing Daisies time," which adds to the fantastical element of the show. So don't be surprised if you see old vehicles, Victrolas and French phones mixed with Priuses, Hummers, and modern-day elements such as the internet.

And the next (last...?) episode is titled "Corpsicle."  I can't wait!

Sounds very much like the treatment of time in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Not really steampunk but similar. Mabe steampunkish.
