That's either Madeline or Louise from Gilmore Girls, I think.
You're probably thinking of Shelly Cole? She had a similar look but I don't think it's the same actress.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Every time I think the cuteness is going wee bit overboard, they throw in some wacky tart twist to keep it balanced. I love that. And much as I love Ned and Chuck, I've decided that Emerson is the glue that holds the show together. Without him, the preciousness would be insufferable.
Favourite bits:
- Tea cozies for handguns!
- Lily's collection of historical erotica and Emerson's reaction to the idea (heh)
- Olive bursting into a song out of the blue initially had me all, "the hell?" then they had Manuel the cleaning guy come in and there was the dancing and the interruption and the hilarious and vaguely uncomfortable-making Olive/Digby stuff. Digby howling at the song being interrupted! I love that dog.
- The idea of corpses hanging in the dummy room: nicely creepy to offset the sweetness.
- The sly references to Jeanine's anorexia. (The close-up of the laxative pillbox made me laugh and laugh, because I am twelve.)
- The fact that both the floor of Ned's own kitchen and the floor of The Pie Hole are a copy of his childhood kitchen where his mother first died.
- The frog revenge!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I could have done without the song number (sorry). It is okay if it is infrequent, but I hope there isn't a song next week. Other than that, I liked the ep, but it felt really light on story.

I too was definitely ready to run for the hallway when Olive started singing, but I began to really enjoy it, especially all the lovely camera angles and dancing with Digby.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I made squeaky noises of joy when Olive started singing. It's Kristin Chenoweth! Also, I'm glad to have IMDB confirm that I have in fact seen the guy who played Mark Chase before -- he was Professor Landry on Veronica Mars last season.
I liked this episode a lot, and I'm excited to see Chuck's aunts return in the next episode. So far the best thing about this show, for me, is the way that Lee Pace smiles in this totally swoon-inducing way everything he looks at or thinks about Chuck. As long as they continue to make me melty, I'm watching!

Okay, all I can say about Pushing Daisies right now is:
FLAIL! SHOW!
I'm all messed up over this show. I love Ned and Chuck (and Emerson), but Olive is breaking my heart.
FLAIL!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
LOVED the singing, loved it. Other than that, I got no comment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The sly references to Jeanine's anorexia.
Bulemia, I think.
It was pushing my cute tolerance a little. I missed the Aunts. Still loving the design which with the factory had a Willy Wonka vibe.
Still very good but they gotta stop the 15 years 4 months 2 days 17 minutes crap.

I loved that the Dandy Lion was so lightweight and resiliently plastic that it kept bouncing off the front of the hummer when the CEO was ramming them. It was like trying to mow down Happy Fun Ball!
