Pushing Daisies

We sadly do not have Pushing Daisies for the next two weeks. On November 12th, the show is pre-empted because of the CMA Awards. This week though, the election is expected to take much of TV airtime. As I understand it, there might not be an airing of Pushing Daisies and Dancing With The Stars will take over the slot for it tomorrow, after the election coverage.

From ABC’s viewpoint, putting a higher rated show next to the coverage is a better move than putting Pushing Daisies. After all, this business is about making money too.

But then if they have a change of heart and decides to air Pushing Daisies, this is the next episode coming up:

“Oh Oh Oh It’s Magic”

Episode Summary: Ned reluctantly agrees to help “The Great Herrmann” (guest star Fred Willard), a famed magician whose animal assistants are being mysteriously killed off. The magician has been a surrogate dad to Ned’s half-brothers Maurice and Ralston (Alex Miller, Graham Miller) ever since their father walked out on them. Meanwhile, Dwight Dixon (guest star Stephen Root) insinuates himself into the Aunts’ lives, but Lily is instantly suspicious of his motives,

The video for Pushing Daisies was already released last September. Have you bought your copy?  I also think that this makes for a nice Christmas presents to friends and family this season. Are we going to help the show’s longevity by driving sales up and making plenty of purchases?

If you’re thinking of giving the video as presents, I’ve checked for a few deals online you might wanna consider —

• Tower Records is selling the DVD set for $22.75 and the Blu Ray set for $25.99
• Amazon is selling the DVD set at a slightly lower price $18.99 and the Blu Ray set is at $26.95
• Best Buy is selling the DVD set for $24.99 and the Blu Ray set for $34.99. I was hoping it comes with other freebies like they do some of their DVD sets but I’m afraid this one is just your regular TV box set.
• DeepDiscount DVD is selling the DVD for $21.32, Blu Ray set comes at $26.85
• Circuit City has the DVD pegged at $19.99 and the Blu Ray is at $34.99
• Target has the DVD available for $26.95 but they do not have the Blu Ray sets.
• DVD Empire also has the DVD only, going for $25.32

Shipping rates are not yet inclusive.

Don’t forget to watch Pushing Daisies tonight, even if the show is up against Barack Obama. The presidential candidate is airing his campaign special over three other networks at 8:00 PM. But ABC is sticking with Pushing Daisies with a new episode guest starring Stephen Roth.

Episode Title: Dimsum Lose Some

Airing: October 29th

Ned is startled when a mysterious man appears at the diner claiming to be an old friend and associate of his dad’s - and asks for his help in finding him.

Media Blvd recently sat down with the two leads of Pushing Daisies and had a very long interview with them. I picked this to highlight taking note of the fact that David Arquette appears in next Wednesday’s episode and this little story was funny —

• MediaBlvd> What’s your favorite Pie Hole pie?
• Anna> I always ask for apple because I’m a traditional type of girl.
• Lee> I like apple. In the script, there is a lot of talk about rhubarb custard, and that sounds good.
• Anna> Lee put a testicle in my trailer.
• Lee> It was not a human testicle. David Arquette was our guest star, and he comes to make meat pies, so he brings all these awful innards to make these pies. So, before Anna got to work, I took one of the bull testicles and put it in her trailer.
• Anna> And, I have a really weak stomach, so I was on the set, retching.

The complete interview is here.

Curious about what happens behind the scenes of Pushing Daisies? ABC’s Good Morning America takes us to the set of Pushing Daisies in this feature:

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!

Here’s a video of a Warner Channel Ad which is running in Brazil and Argentina. The three leads of Pushing Daisies are in it — Lee Pace, Anna Friel and Kristin Chenoweth, as well as stars from Chuck, The Big Bang Theory and then some…

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:
