Pushing Daisies Season 2

Starts tonight! *Squeal*

I honestly haven't been this excited for a show in quite some time.
post #2 of 161
Nice! I needed this back. Time for some light hearted comedy. I can only hope for more musical numbers!
post #3 of 161
I'm pretty sure I read that Chenowith sings tonight. We can hope. God, it's good to have this and CHUCK back.

My favorite new show of last year, I didn't know it started tonight.
post #5 of 161
Having watched The Fall recently I'm totally in the mood for some more Lee Pace. If it weren't for all the juicy cleavage on this show I swear he could turn me the other way.
post #6 of 161
This is, by far, my favorite show from last year and I am eagerly anticipating tonight's episode.
post #7 of 161
I really am excited to watch this. Caught a preview at a movie last night (weird, I know). Know anywhere where you can catch the first season?

Ha! Awesome. The temp agency, Happy Time, is the temp agency from Dead Like Me. I wonder if George was working that day...

Good episode, great to have it back. I had trouble following all the shit going on because I'm at work and trying to edit and talk to people and watch at the same time, but I dug it.
Pigsby.
"They're cleaners."
Emerson's hump.
"He. Is. Stalking. You."
Chuck thinking about training her bees to become walking bee people. All great moments. As was seeing Chuck in her silky intimates. Jesus, but this show loves it's cleavage. And while Olive won't be showing any, for awhile at least, she sure fills out a habit. Jesus.

Holy crap, totally missed that!

If he can get away with it, Fuller is planning on having some characters from his other shows show up on Daisies.

Two words: "Truth Buckshot"
post #12 of 161
I do think the episode suffered a bit by trying to cram in every single event from last season to get new viewers up to speed, but "Oh, here comes the poor" more than made up for it.
post #13 of 161
Its funny I have never seen a show that uses puns and various wordplay to such good comedic effect.

Although my favorite line of the night is easily:

"HE IS STALKING YOU!"

You guys hit on all the big stuff. Loved it all. Emerson continues to be the go to character for laughs, but I found it interesting that they alluded he had a missing daughter. Also, Ned's dad reappearing. Looks like they want to expand the show to beyond murder of the week.

ABC.com has all the eps up, but I find their viewer a pain to load. You might try hulu.com.


Edit: Here you go (although it looks like they just redirect you to the abc website.

Olive Snook continues to steal the show. She's just amazing.
Also, the production design of the show is staggering.

Olive is hit or miss with me. She is either really funny or really annoying. There's no in between.
post #17 of 161
The Bee story sucked (here's hoping that that was a temp editor editing this one) as did sending Olive to a missionary, but everything else was as good as I remember it. You all can have your Emmersons and your Olives (both of whom I adore), but for me the VIP in this show is Lee Pace. He doesn't over-quirk it and he helps keep the show from flying off to whimsy land (AKA Olive's missionary. Seriously, what the fuck?)
post #18 of 161
The missionary story line with Olive was hysterical. I particuraly the sudden arrival of The Poor or comparing being a nun to a gym membership. Great stuff.
post #19 of 161
Best line:

"Momma was a Methodist and Daddy was Pragmatist, so I knew 'God pt those bees there for a reason.'"
post #20 of 161
Btw, the show did HORRIBLE with ratings. Biggest drop off from season to season.

Fuck, what is wrong with people?!
post #22 of 161
seriously I'm depressed.
post #23 of 161
The fact that PUSHING DAISIES and CHUCK are now essentially doomed (unless there is a drastic ratings turnaround sometime soon) has me wondering if I should just give up TV altogether. (After THE SHIELD ends its run, of course ... oh, and LOST, too ...) Nothing good ever lasts because the rest of this fucking country would rather tune into DANCING WITH THE STARS.
post #24 of 161
To be fair, Fringe started off pretty...iffy and yet the ratings picked up big-time to the point of it getting a full 22-episode order.

Let's give Daisies (and Chuck) another week or two...
post #25 of 161
They picked up because it got House as its lead-in in week 2.

Anywho, didn't really dig this episode much. Seemed a bit flat to me.
post #26 of 161
It was a good premiere but I thought they were going to do something with the revelation that Piemaker accidentally killed Chuck's dad from the end of season one. Emerson Cod is my hero.

I cheered when Piemaker said he called Happy Time to get the temp job.
post #27 of 161
Well Ned was originally supposed to be introduced in DEAD LIKE ME, so I guess it makes sense. I'm interested in seeing a Mandy Patinkin walk-on seeing as how he has free time these days.
post #28 of 161
Anyone else notice the constant background music in this episode? I think it only stopped twice in the whole episode and each time was brief (when Olive screamed, then it kicked back in). I could still hear the dialogue it was just a bit...annoying. Became one of those things that once I noticed it it pissed me off more and more.

Was it like this last season?
post #29 of 161
Maybe I'm the only one, but I though the Season Two premiere was awful. Just awful.

The banter and production design remain excellent, but when an episode's main storyline (the murder investigation) and secondary plot (Chuck's real mother and Chenowith's decision to run off to a nunnery) are both incoherent messes, there's a real problem.

Hopefully it was just one misfire.
post #30 of 161
It wasn't great but, like pretty much every other show that was new last year, I'm chalking the inconsistencies up to basically needing a new pilot.
post #31 of 161
I saw the clown car gag coming, but I still laughed my ass off at the execution.
post #32 of 161
Oh, yeah. It was still great. 15 damn clowns. And them carrying the one on stilts? Jesus. So grim and hilarious at the same time. This was a great episode.
"I could throw up a little in my mouth and it wouldn't taste in different."
The epiphany light staying behind here even after the epiphany.
"You did not just say that."
"Do you know how heads works?"
"I'm making contraptions."
"If this van's a rockin', I'm being murdered."
The commercial break in the middle of a dirty limerick. I love this show so much.
post #33 of 161
Very funny episode. Love the screwball comedy fast paced dialogue style of this show.
post #34 of 161
Hey! A return to form! Either this or the car-maker episode is my favorite. Funny, moved the storyline along with Chuck and Ned's romance ... excellent.
post #35 of 161
I have to add: If I weren't already madly TV crushing on Anna Friel, that grin and bounce she does when they walk into the prize tent would've sealed it.
post #36 of 161
"The mimes just pulled up in a trailer, and they ain't talking."

Damn near died.
post #37 of 161
Loved that episode. Loved it to death. Really really funny and sad at the same time.

The clowns killed me. Such a great setting for this universe.

I want to live in that universe. Even though everybody is a killer.
post #38 of 161
Oh, and I loved "Father Dowling, Father Mulcahy and Sister Christian."

Ha! Ha!

Pigby liked the warbling sound that the nice smelling thing that fed her made.

Nicky ran off with some clown.
A real clown?

Love what's there! Love it! LOVE IT!

Surprisingly sad episode tonight with usual good quality.

I love these characters so much. Its like returning to see good friends every week.
post #41 of 161
Glad to finally have Olive back with the rest of the characters.
post #42 of 161
"Nun on the Run" destroyed me.
post #43 of 161
Thread Starter 
Just caught up with the last episode. I think its my favorite this season. They just wrapped up the nun storyline so well.

Nun on the run!
Sister Christian.
We're motoring.

Also, they keep alluding to Emerson's daughter. I will be so sad if they don't reward him - and us - with her return this season.
post #44 of 161
This season seems to be all about long lost relatives coming back.

Ned's Father, Chuck's Aunt/Mom and Lil' Gum Shoe.
post #45 of 161
Chi McBride just kills on this show. Something about his delivery gets some pretty good laughs from me.

What a tease for the poor pie man at the end. Look, but don't touch...
post #46 of 161
I picture the safe sex from NAKED GUN...
post #47 of 161
Man, Chuck is mean. Damn.

I love this goddamn show. For the prettiest, sweetest, charmingest show on TV, it's really damn weird, bizarre and fucked up. Squirting corpse, creepy taxidermy, David Arquette, mummy in dude's office, offal pies (that I can only guess and assume were the dead animal guts. ick.)...

"Little Emerson thought it was 'bad ass.'"
"Fake out, bitches!" or whatever the chick yelled when she shut them in the lockers.
Naked Chuck. Damn you, network TV.
The stupidest secret handshake ever.
"I'm not a liar, I'm a truther."
Chuck using the same name as when she was getting a job in the bee place.
"I want to duvet you." That line murdered me.

Something I thought about last week and really paid attention to this week. About 60% of the talking shots are straight on of people with them looking at the camera. No back of someone's head just a head on shot. Just something interesting.

I love this show! Who knew a show about death could be so sweet?

I want to duvet you.
post #49 of 161
Poor Ned. Whats he supposed to do with a naked and hot Chuck.
post #50 of 161
Maybe they masturbate in front of each other? I don't know, that's weird and the characters are too sweet for me to be thinking those things.

The thing i loved the most about the episode? The "Spartan" Flashback had the Speed ramped up and down like in 300.
Killed me.
