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 my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I might give it another chance with my full attention, since I haven't heard a bad thing about it.
It's certainly a reasonable point of view, though. Pushing Daisies definitely lays it on thickly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Oh show!
That's it. 15 minutes in and I'm hooked.

She hasn't even gotten to Swoozie Kurtz yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think KC's entrance into his apt outdid the walk&talk with Allison Janney.

Yeah, the Aunts are the dottiest gothiest part.
