Pushing Daisies Round Up Dec 26
Hey folks! I’m still on holiday mode but I could not resist checking online to check and see what is up with our favorite show. Over Christmas, I’ve been telling friends and family about Pushing Daisies. They have yet to try viewing at least one episode. Our local cable channel will begin airing it sometime next month and of course I’ve been yakking and pushing it to them. I think I ruined their Christmas, haha!
Anyway, some fairly random news to fill the holiday void and it’s all filled with recognitions left and right!
The Globe And Mail thinks Pushing Daisies is one of the 10 shows that mattered: “Pushing Daisies managed to be arch, poignant and gorgeous…”
EW listed Pushing Daisies as the second best TV show of this season: “Pushing Daisies is a fantastically fantastical, bubble-gum-colored fable…”
The Star Telegram’s writer tried to resist but couldn’t and now has listed it as 2007’s Best: “I initially resisted this romantic fantasy about a young man who can bring folks back from the dead because of its tendency to rub your nose in its cleverness.”
Sometimes, the praise this show is receiving worries me. Why? Because they have such huge expectations to live up to come second season (if and when that should happen)! And you know how some of best television programs do terribly by Year 2. I hope this isn’t the case for Pushing Daisies.
Finally, remember Pushing Daisies winning that Best New TV show from Family Television awards? If you’ve got nothing eventful on your calendar tomorrow, watch the whole Family Television Awards ceremony on CW (December 27th 9/8c). The show is hosted by Phil Koeghan.
I’ll try to be back and post some more this week but in the meantime, have a happy, happy new year!
P.S. A reminder for those in the US — Pushing Daisies is on repeat tonight. Catch the episode on its usual time slot on ABC.
