It's a creator's favored character being repurposed for a spy show.
To me it has to do with nifty, because I don't see Chuck as a) like Seth or b) like a potential favourite. But mostly I think Chuck is a step down for/from Seth in a way that Sydney wasn't for Felicity.
I think if you give it five minutes you'll want to see the rest (if you're not bon bon, anyway.)
I might give it another chance with my full attention, since I haven't heard a bad thing about it.
I'm so deep in grading hell I haven't been able to watch tv all week. It's cruel I tell you! No Heroes, no Eureka, no Bionic Woman or DirtySexyMoney, no Pushing Daisies. Thank goodness for tivo is all I can say.

It's certainly a reasonable point of view, though. Pushing Daisies definitely lays it on thickly.
I'm sure there'll be some tonal adjustments on the show after the pie-let.
C'mon though! His shop is called The Pie Hole. Plus I love Ellen Greene, and Swoozie looks awesome with an eyepatch and Kristen looks cool being super tiny. (And I think her hair is bobbed after the first episode.)
I must be pretty tired (oh I know I am with the chronic insomnia) but I'm sitting here thinking, "
Pushing Daisies
is just like Magic Realism, but without any identifiable supernatural element..." and then remembered, oh yes: bringing things back from the dead. Yeah, I guess that qualifies.
She's so tiny compared to Lee Pace that my husband thought it was a special effect at first.
His shop is called The Pie Hole.
Man, my band had the idea to open a pie shop/performance space called the Pie Hole YEARS ago. We even wrote a song about it. Called Pie Hole. (Down at the Pie Hole, you can get yourself some pie)
Oh
show!
That's it. 15 minutes in and I'm hooked.
She hasn't even gotten to Swoozie Kurtz yet.
