Pushing Daisies

Off to spend a long weekend. Be back Monday…

I’ve been waiting for new videos over at TV Guide yesterday. Thanks to Lauren for these.

Pushing Daisies’ Lee Pace says lots in store for first episode of new season.


‘There’s a cat fight brewing’ says Pushing Daisies’ Anna Friel!

Pushing Daisies’ Chi McBride says lots in store for Emerson.

A character from Bryan Fuller’s defunct TV series, Wonderfalls, may be appearing and crossing over to the second season of Pushing Daisies.

This information was revealed at the Comic Con last Saturday. And that character none other than Mary Ann Marie Beetle, who appeared in the Muffin Buffalo episode of Wonderfalls.

She is played by Beth Grant.

Fuller also says he’d like for Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas) the lead of Wonderfalls to drop by the “sunny Daisies world” as well. Diane Scarwid who played Mother to Lee Pace in this series, is already a confirmed guest on Pushing Daisies.

Watch Mary Ann Marie Beetle on Wonderfalls:

The entire cast of Pushing Daisies were in attendance at the Comic Con panel this year — Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Kristin Chenoweth, Chi McBride, Swoozie Kurtz, and Ellen Greene.

Kristin obliged a fan and sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow beautifully:

I am not loving her hairstyle, though….she looks older with it.

Spoiler Alert!

Detail is after the cut…

And this information comes from Lee Pace himself, when he and the other cast Pushing Daisies spoke about the show’s return on Sci Fi Wire. Mo Collins! Ahhhh! How I enjoy watching her on MadTV before!

Spoiler ahead after the cut people!

I don’t know why this one took awhile to register but it only occurred to me that Pushing Daisies’ Twelve Emmy nominations are a big deal! A huge deal!

With last season’s three month strike, the show has only aired nine episodes and yet — the show has been nominated in almost every significant category.

I was quite disappointed that it didn’t make Best Comedy. But looking at the situation this way, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Anyway, the following is an article from the Philadelphia Inqurier, which also notes on the show’s 12 nominations…the most nominations a broadcast network TV show has received this year.

Here’s a fresh scoop from Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello!

“The O.C.’s Taylor Townsend herself, Autumn Reeser, will guest star in the season premiere as a Southern Belle named Kentucky Fritz who has a deadly run-in with some killer bees. “She’s the number one girl at Betty’s Bees, who may or may not have been up to some mischief when she was stung to death by a swarm of bees,” teases Daisies creator Bryan Fuller. The gig reunites Reeser with actress Missi Pyle (aka Betty Bee); the two appeared in an episode of Fox’s short-lived Wedding Bells that, unfortunately, no one ever saw. “I walked down the aisle to ‘Maria’ from Sound of Music,” Reeser recalls. “But the show was canceled before it aired.” Ironically, sounds like an episode I would’ve actually watched.”

Ausiello also adds — “Daisies is casting the role of Emerson’s no-nonsense, chain-smoking and, get this, Caucasian mom.”

Finally,  a photo from Anna Friel’s movie, Land of the Lost, has surfaced on line.

The movie also stars Will Ferrel and it is based on a television series from the 70’s. It is set for release in the summer of 2009.

Universal Home Video has announced the release of the DVD,  Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day for August 19th. The film stars Frances McDormand, Amy Adams, Lee Pace, and Ciaran Hinds. It is directed by Bharat Nalluri.

Entertainment Tonight was able to talk to Lee Pace hours after the announcement of his Emmy nomination for Best Actor comedy. As I understand, this interview was done on the set of Pushing Daisies which is currently filming episodes for the second season. Although, I am sensing Lee was quite uncomfortable in this one…and he looks a bit different, too don’t you think?

Didn’t read through this new spoiler properly as I’d still want to remain spoiler-free. I just grabbed this off PushingDaisies-TV which has been very vigilant and generous with spoilers.

It all comes after the cut…
