'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But the music and the narration made me want to kill myself with the precious.
Lee Pace manages to pull it away from the precious. As does Chi McBride. And I don't say that lightly, because the narration and some other factors made it veer dangerously close to too-too cutesy for words, for me.
Lee Pace is marvellous! I find the show a bit precious, but for Lee Pace I'll sit through it. He's who John Cusack should have grown up to be.
Okay, I had to go back and read Kristin's ambien cookie post. That's some serious drug-addling, all right. But you're among friends, it's all good.
Who was the narrator?
Also, I liked the narration and the music; made it like a bizzare fairy tale.
It's all the talk amongst my non-buffista friends too, so yay!
I wish for a million dollars!
I have to get up beore God tomorrow. Have a huge VIP coming in and somehow I agreed to an 8:30 "demo".
We don't have a demo. We'll be winging it.
Crap.

My chatty!co-worker said to me, a few weeks ago, "Have you heard of the new show Pushing Daisies? It's the same guy who did Wonderfalls."
I said, "I didn't know you watched Wonderfalls!"
C!c-w: "All 4 episodes, you mean? Yeah."
Me: "Uh, I have the DVDs with the remaining unaired episodes -- want to borrow them?"
That was a bit of serendipitous coincidence.

So it would probably be My Sort of Thing. (Especially with the Tim Burton comment about it from upthread!) I guess I should try to catch it.

According to the IMDB page for Pushing Daisies, apparently Adam Brody was considered for Lee Pace's part. I *think* he could have pulled it off, but he would have had a lot of Seth Cohen-ness to get out from under.
But Lee Pace doesn't really have that kind of role recognition, so he just does his thing.
I think Brody could have done a good job (and by typing it that way, I'm also thinking of Adrien Brody, but he'd have to get over himself first). But I'm so glad Lee's got it.
Lunch today is a very sour apple and a buttered bagel. And water. My stomach's being weird again.
I think I may aim to use public transport or walk a bit more often now that I've proven neither option is immediately fatal.
