Pushing Daisies

[BFJen]

Okay, does anyone else want to see Olive and Chuck just beat the crap out of each other? I can't wait to see what happens between the two of them. I don't know why, but part of me just doesn't like Chuck.

It has been announced by ABC that Pushing Daisies will be on for the full season. They ordered 9 more shows making a total of 22 shows.

Another show has joined the thus-far small ranks of new series to earn a full-season order: ABC's forensic fairy tale "Pushing Daisies."

The network confirms it has picked up the critically praised show, adding nine more episodes to its initial order of 13. "Daisies" joins its Wednesday-night companion "Private Practice," CBS' "Big Bang Theory" and The CW's "Gossip Girl" as the only new shows thus far this fall to earn full-season orders.

The show stars Lee Pace as Ned, a piemaker with the ability to bring the dead back to life with his touch (but only for a minute, lest something or someone else die), which he and a private investigator (Chi McBride) who knows his secret put to use in solving murder cases and collecting reward money. The arrangement gets more complicated, however, when Ned revives his childhood sweetheart, Chuck (Anna Friel), and lets her keep living. Now he can't touch her again, because if he does she'll die again, permanently.

Despite the not-easily-explained premise, viewers have warmed to the show. Though it's not a huge hit -- no new series is -- "Pushing Daisies" has averaged 11.37 million viewers over its first three airings. It also draws a 4.1 rating in the crucial adults 18-49 demographic, handily winning its timeslot.

Bryan Fuller ("Dead Like Me," "Wonderfalls") created the series and executive produces with Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two episodes, Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks and Brooke Kennedy.

Its on tonight

[Kuzcochik]

Tonight's was once again far too sweet (i mean that in a good way).
I nearly cried at the end (it's been a long week and it was just beautiful in that quirky way that keeps me tied to this show)

Also: Birdhouse in Your Soul!!! OMG I laughed so hard. Amazing!

[Wendygirl]

I absolutely loved tonight's episode. I think it was the best one yet. So many things that were so neat and quirky and sweet. That bird was terrific. One of my wishes was that Kristen Chenoweth and Ellen Greene would sing together, and tonight I got my wish. I was also touched by the ending. Heck, I even loved the phonograph they used!

And how would you like to be in the "windmillerly business"?

I loved it last night

A very imaginative story line, with brilliant acting and writing. A definite spot on the "season pass" roster on our DVR. Glad to see that ABC is giving it a "season pass" as well.

Read this today about Molly Shannon guesting on the show:

ABC's whimsical "Pushing Daisies" has found a guest star who knows from whimsical: former "Saturday Night Live" regular Molly Shannon.

Shannon has signed on for a three-episode arc in the freshman series, which recently received a full-season pickup. Her first appearance is scheduled for the show's eighth episode, in either late November or early December.

She'll play a character named Dilly Balsam, a professional rival of Ned's (Lee Pace) who opens a sweets shop across from the Pie Hole. Her sometime collaborator Mike White -- writer of the movie "Year of the Dog" and creator of FOX "Cracking Up," both of which starred Shannon -- will also guest-star has Dilly's brother Billy.

I'm not too sure about this. Sometimes I like Molly Shannon and other times she bugs me by being too over the top.

Previews for tonight's show are promising.

Sorry to hear that, I thought it again was another good episode. PD won't be on again til the 14th.

Kelly, you can see it on www.abc.com

It was a great episode. I'm thinking that I'm going to like the sharing of Chuck's secret with Olive. I hope the show can keep up the momentum.

As for Molly Shannon - I think she'll fit right in.
