Pushing Daisies

Oh my god…here are some amazing videos for Season 2’s first episode. The scenes are a sight for sore eyes, it looks really wonderful!!

The videos are from Pushing Daisies TV

Is this your first time learning about Pushing Daisies? Are you not caught up with the show yet? Do you want to get the gist of what it’s all about? The video below is a five minute clip that will tell you the story of Pushing Daisies’ first season:

Field Cate is a vegetarian and supports many causes related to it. In this video he also talks about Pushing Daisies and taking care of pets. He’s too cool for a kid who is barely in his teens, no?

You would have to be very happy to see this! Me? I got goosebumps! It still looks as amazing as it has always been! And I know the stories are getting better and better.

There’s a bit of spoilers on this video, so be on the alert.

There’s already some parts I love about this one, even when this is only the teaser:

• Emerson and his credit card validating machine.
• Pigby!
• “I have something to say. Im going to say it to you, you, you, and your hump” Hah!
• Olive and the dancing nun, which I’m sure is a musical number.

I’m just not so sure about the clowns….they look creepy.

We’ve got two more months of wait! Ugh. But at least based on this, we know there’s something really good to look forward too.

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.

Daisies’ Ellen Greene teases magic, mystery and a musical!

Lucky Brits! They’ve got first dibs on a Pushing Daisies DVD, which is set for release in the UK (Region 2) this coming June 23rd. And I love its whimsical and colorful cover art design!

Pre-orders are up at most major UK online video stores like Amazon.Co.Uk, Zavvi.Co.Uk (indicated free delivery) and Play.Com (UK). The set comes as a single disc and is selling for £23.00. But I found that HMV.com is selling this way cheaper at £17.99

There’s no word on what comes with the DVD, but the UK version comes way ahead of the Region 1 (USA/Canadian) release.

The DVD is released by Warner Home Videos.

Incidentally, Pushing Daisies Season 1, all 9 episodes of it, will begin airing on ITV in the UK, this April.

The lead stars of Pushing Daisies, Lee Pace and Anna Friel, are in the UK promoting their program, as it will begin airing on ITV this April.

Over at The Sun, there is a video of Anna and Lee talking to the press. Anna’s distinct British accent was definitely coming out. She pronounced Chuck as “Chock”.

“I liked the idea of playing a character that was absolutely fearless, she’s had a chance to look at life for a second time and she looks at life with big wide eyes and true joy, every single minute – and she completely loves Ned, totally and utterly in love. It’s a good old romantic story.”

Teasers are already running on television in the UK. And we’ve found a clip of it. The voice-over still belongs to Jim Dale but they have also included and made mention of the fact that the program has been nominated for three Golden Globes:

Today I’m all about exploring fan made Today I’m all about exploring fan made Pushing Daisies Videos at YouTube. There’s a certain amount of joy and satisfaction over finding these videos, because I somehow get an affirmation of how much well-liked and popular the show has become. Bottomline, any show wouldn’t last if not for the fans. Even as some of them may go overboard at times, it’s what keeps a TV series going.

Anyway, here are some of my choices for some well-made fan videos… First one on the charts is a video featuring Olive’s love for Ned. The song choice for this is aptly chosen, I couldn’t have picked a better song. And the clips included in this video are well put together. It easily tells the story of Olive’s unrequited love.

Next, is Can I Have A Kiss, featuring Chuck and Ned and the complicated situation they are in. Again, song choice for this video helped highlight the bind this couple must prevail. The scenes are also properly edited.

This next video is not just a creative idea, but also a funny. I would’ve never imagined using the song for Pushing Daises but the person who created this made it work.

Ahh, this is one of my favorite songs these days…and using it on the video? It just makes me feel love everywhere. And it makes me miss the show a lot more!!!

Lastly, I’m not familiar with the song in this video but I find myself smiling while watching.

I’m sure there are tons more fan vids out there, care to share some of yours?

I was going over some episodes of Wonderfalls last weekend and particularly focused on the fifth episode, Crime Dog, where Lee Pace had a major participation in the story. For those who may be wondering, Wonderfalls is a short-lived series which was also created by Bryan Fuller, the man behind Pushing Daisies. And Lee played one of the supporting characters, Aaron, the older brother of Jaye, the story’s lead character. Lee didn’t have too many scenes on the whole of the show except for this particular episodes.

In Crime Dog, the characters, Jaye and Aaron, have to cross the Canadian border so they can bring back the family housekeeper, Yvette. She was someone they grew up with and is considered a part of the family. But due to problems with immigration, Yvette had to be deported. The brother and sister easily found her in Canada but they also discover that she is not what she claimed to be. Yvette, was in fact, Cindy, who comes from a well-to-do family, but she ran away twenty years ago, because her parents didn’t love her enough. When she arrived in America and worked as the housekeeper, she assumed the personality of Yvette, who was her family’s very own help in Canada.

It didn’t dawn on me until I saw that episode again…. that Yvette was played by the same actress who was the killer, Madeline McLean, in Pushing Daisies’ Corpsicle. Among her other works include guest appearances on Big Love and voicing for one of the characters in the cartoons, My Life as A Teenage Robot. Audrey Wasilewski is one talented character actress. If anyone has seen her on Wonderfalls, I’m sure you would agree. Well, here is a clip from that series. Check out Lee’s sideburns, too!

By the way, Wonderfalls DVD is selling for $29.99 at Amazon.

ABC has come up with another teaser to tonight’s final episode, Corpsicle. Watching it made me suddenly feel that Christmas is definitely just around the corner; and also, it made me wish ours is a Christmas that is as lovely as the set of Pushing Daisies! Isn’t it just magical? It brings such a festive mood!

But at the same time, we all know this will be the last episode. *sniff*. Based on the teasers, it looks like we’re in for some of that….sniffling, as a hurting Chuck tells an apologetic Ned “I can’t look at you…” Aww, shucks.

Sad, sad, sad…:(

After this episode, ABC is planning on airing repeats of Pushing Daisies, beginning Dec. 26. Plus, sometime today, ABC will announce its latest schedule for January to April 2008.

Are you dreading this week, the week of Pushing Daisies’ last run?

With nothing happening from the latest strike negotiations that failed last week, I’ve been hearing people say that new shows like our favorite will be very sorely affected. The long absence and the sudden hiatus might just kill the momentum. But I don’t especially buy this. I’m on a different plain altogether because the longer I wait for new episodes to come, the more I anticipate it, hence the more the momentum is piling up.

In the meantime, I’ve been pushing the show to my friends and family. My 10 year old boy is already a big, big fan and I’ve got a couple of friends hooked on it, too. What’s my pitch? Other than telling them of the fantastic story and the adorable characters, I also say there are only 12 episode to follow; the series is short and sweet. I mean, I might as well dwell on the positive to this strike, if there is any. Not every one has a firm idea how the writers’ strike affects the shows we watch, all they care is if they will be able to finish it right away. So far, for every 5 people I recommended this show to, at least one would decline and say it’s too cutesy for their taste. My simple statistic isn’t so bad, though, that’s 4 converted viewers to one, meaning — more viewers who will anticipate its return.

And of course, sites like ours will hopefully help sustain the momentum.

Anyway, the episode from two weeks ago left a cliff-hanger of sorts, with Ned finally confessing to Chuck that he “inavertedly, accidentally” killed her father. Here’s the that scene to refresh your memory, before we’ll finally know Chuck’s reaction to this revelation this Wednesday:

Ratings Update: Bitter Sweets managed to reap very good numbers for Pushing Daisies last week, as it delivers 10.18million viewers. The show was aired on a later time-slot since its regular schedule was pre-empted by the Shrek Christmas special.

2. “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (Special) (R) (ABC) 18.74m

Pushing Daisies, Best Family TV Show: Also last Wednesday, Pushing Daisies was voted Best New TV Series by the Family Television Awards. The award giving body is organized by the Family Friendly Programming Forum, a brainchild of the Association of National Advertisers. It aims to give honors to prime time shows that gear towards wholesome programming. Chi McBride, Kristine Chenoweth and Lee Pace graced the event and had their red carpet interview. Chi Mcbride says Pushing Daisies is the kind of show that provides something different in the whole TV landscape, where a lot of it isn’t exactly family friendly.

Other winners include:
America Ferrera - Best Actress
Kyle Chandler - Best Actor
Ugly Betty - Best Comedy
Heroes - Best Drama
Zachary Levi - Favorite Newcomer
