Too...much...TV...

So we watched the series premiere of "Pushing Daisies" tonight.

And there is nothing not to love about this show.

So now we have Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman on Mondays...
Bones and House on Tuesdays
Pushing Daisies and CSI:NY on Wednesdays
Moonlight and Numb3rs on Fridays

Moonlight...will probably go by the wayside. Bad writing, bad acting. The opening scene of Pushing Daisies was everything that Moonlight should have been. Yo, Moonlight writers? THAT'S how you do it. Show, don't tell. Or, you know...do both. That's effective too. That being said, I'll give the show a couple more eps to find its feet. Lots of pilots suck, so benefit of the doubt unless it's a pattern.

I loved Pushing Daisies. The narration and the filming really gave it a wonderful fairytale atmosphere. I hope they can sustain this charming quirkiness.

It reminded me of a Tim Burton movie, only lighter...along the lines of "Big Fish." And it doesn't hurt at all that the star of the show played Jaye's brother Aaron in "Wonderfalls."

Thank you! I wondered why that actor looked so familiar.

Reminded me of Edward Scissorhands.
