Pushing Daisies

I’ve been trying to decide on whether or not I should pre-order the DVD or BluRay disc for Pushing Daisies. On one hand, I’m used to watching my favorite shows on DVD anywhere using a portable DVD player. The value of the disc on DVD is a lot more affordable, too. On the other hand, the show is really much better seen on an HDTV with a BluRay disc player. But then there’s only one spot in my house where I could do that…what if I want to watch the series while I’m out of town?

I don’t know where my decision would lean more. How will I fully enjoy the series? Will I rely on portability or aesthetics?

This article from THR may have convinced me a little bit, though.

On ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,” it’s the surreal nature of the narrative — about a man (Lee Pace) whose touch can temporarily bring people back from the dead — that gives production designer Michael Wylie and his to team license to explore the outer bounds of reality and taste on sets such as The Pie Hole, a pie shop with giant fake cherries hanging from the ceiling, topped by a faux crust roof with a suggestive slit in the middle. “We sit in the office, and we sort of giggle, and we throw stuff together that on another show we wouldn’t be allowed to do,” Wylie says. “If it looks good, we go with it, even if it’s a traditionally bad design choice. In one of the episodes, we created this candy store that was this Tiffany-box blue color and orange and gold and black and a bunch of things that I would never in a million years throw together in one room.”

What about you? Have you decided on pre-ordering a set yet?
