Pushing Daisies is many things at once: detective show, romantic comedy, whimsical fantasy and above all, a story about a guy who bakes pies and has the ability to bring dead people back to life. Somehow all of these things come together to make one of the most enjoyable, funny and bittersweet shows to come along in a long time. A lot of that magic comes from the near-perfect casting - Lee Pace (The Fall, Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day) as Ned the Piemaker is wonderfully reserved and adorably neurotic; his facial expressions alone provide some of the most moving and hilarious moments in the series. Anna Friel as Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Chi McBride as Emerson Cod and Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook round out the regulars at the Pie Hole and veteran actresses Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene are great as Chuck's eccentric aunts whose passions include synchronized swimming, amateur ornithology and rare cheeses. Pushing Daisies exists in a world where people regularly break out into song to express their feelings, where death is never gory and usually played for comic effect, and where every color on screen is richly saturated and vibrant, creating an oddly timeless Edward Scissorhands-like world.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of cult favorites Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls has perfected his style with Pushing Daisies; this series has a broader appeal than the previous shows. Each imaginatively produced episode has such snappy writing paired with ghoulish sensibilities, heart wrenching romance and classic caper-style crime fighting, making every moment completely un-missable. The DVD release of Season One contains all nine original episodes and a behind-the-scenes featurette. ---Kira Canny

Most tragic cancellation since Firefly December 2, 2008
Daniel E. Rezendes (Tucson, AZ)
Many shows are entertaining, many shows are worth watching or purchasing, but hardly any show is as beautiful and pure as Pushing Daisies. Gorgeous, heartwarming (but never groan-worthy), and just GOOD in every sense of the word, this show deserved far more than two truncated seasons. Please, if you are even slightly interested, buy these DVDs now! Good enough sales may at least get us a finale, and it's actually a very good deal at this price as well.

Pushing Daisies a Comic Success! December 1, 2008
Bronwyn E. Haynes (Burlington, NJ USA)
This is a truly charming series, beautifully filmed and whimsically written. It is fun to watch--there's a little bit of everything in this show, and truly something for everyone.

AWESOME SHOW!!! December 1, 2008
Jordan Meadows (Danville, VA)
This is such a great show! It's very well-written and clever, and I really regret that it is being cancelled after only two seasons! :(

Pushing Daisies is the best! November 29, 2008
Lucy Bondurant
I absolutely love this show. The dialogue is entertaining, witty, and fast paced, the sets are fun and Tim Burton-esque, and the actors meld together so naturally and are all incredible talents. There really isn't a single character I don't enjoy, and I especially enjoy Lee Pace's portrayal of a gentle, slightly awkward Ned who happens to have this gift/curse that he never asked for and isn't always comfortable using. If you are looking for a charming escape, Pushing Daisies is by far the best.

Once again they've canceled a really good show November 26, 2008

Can you believe they've done it again? Just two seasons of quality TV then poof! gone!! They did it with Firefly, Millenium, and Dead Like Me.
I'm stunned (again!) I loved this show and I highly recomend it. Lee Pace is perfect in this role as is the entire cast. I will mourn it's passing.
