Did you notice when Ned was exiting . . . I can't remember which room - but he paused by the door and he was TALLER than the door frame.
Also, they could spend more time showing him baking. He looks good baking.
Slap my hand now!

He looked good in tonight's episode.
Also, I loved it when Olive was jumping on her bed in celebration. And that news story - - the transition "And now, kittens on parade" (I think.)

Hah, yes, I liked the "kittens on parade" line.
I really enjoyed this episode. I think it was Chi McBride's best yet; or maybe he's just growing on me. I've sometimes thought his line readings were a bit off in past episodes, but he was right on (and totally hilarious) in every scene tonight.

Also, Olive hanging off that shovel a foot or so off the ground, and then the shot of her fingers twanging off the handle! She's too cute!

not your mom's socks.
New tag line!
oh, rats. That was my first thought too!
for some reason Olive shouting 'the old gray mare she ain't what she used to be...' made me giggle, but that was after I was smitten with small details again:
- the house that was stenciled on the outside with the same pattern as the upholstered chairs inside
- the monkeys.
- the sheer number of places a person can not be interred.
- the floor of Ned's old bedroom.
Not in love with Olive's new haircut. Makes her look older and too worldly for her technicolor role.
Chuck doesn't bother me, even all wide-eyed and blinky. The aunts are a riot: "I'll get my gun." "And I'll get the candy bowl!" Ah. There's a tag - maybe not the best tag (points up), but a good tag.

I watched the whole thing when I came home last night exhausted from a lonng day, lonnng after I should have been in bed, so I haven't retained nearly enough of it, but on the other hand I was laughing helplessly a whole lot....

Joyce Millman weighs in on PD in this week's Phoenix (she seems to love it and hate it, and I think she's wrong like a wrong thing on the show lacking sincerity): [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Why should we give our hearts to a show that seems to fear sincerity so much that it shrouds itself in artifice? Pushing Daisies has the potential to be a luscious homemade apple pie, but it would rather be a Twinkie.
Yeah, I'm with you, Frank. I think that's not the show she's describing there, but the character of Ned, who is afraid of deeper feelings.
