DVD Review: Pushing Daisies is Pushing Up Daisies
Summary: 4 Stars

this was a wonderful show that unfortunately didn't find it's audience. Funny, charming, spectacularly original, well written and acted by a marvelous cast - it is gone too soon. It had such an original look to it that I had to have it on DVD. The only drawback is that this DVD only contains the first 8 episodes. The run was interrupted by the WGA strike and a handful of episodes were broadcast after it ended. There may even be a few more unaired - and it would have been better if ALL the episodes shot (even if unaired) had been put on a single DVD. Would have been worth the wait. Just in case, I decided I didn't want to miss a bird in the hand. The show is quirky and may not be for all tastes, but I can almost guarantee that if you watch the first - you'll be hooked. Kudos to all involved in this show and condolences on too short a run. Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Kristen Chenoweth, Swoosie Kurtz (and her eyepatch) and a hysterical Chi McBride - all deserved a far longer run in a witty, wonderful show.

Description of Pushing Daisies - The Complete First Season

Every not-so-often, along comes a show that's different. Wonderfully different. Pushing Daisies, TV Guide's Matt Roush writes, "restores my faith in TV's ability to amuse, enchant and entertain." It's the story of Ned, a lonely pie maker whose touch can reanimate the dead. Cool, but there's a hitch. If Ned touches the person again, the miracle is reversed. If he doesn't, a bystander goes toes up. What to do? Easy: Team with a private eye, bring murder victims back just long enough to discover whodunit, and collect the rewards. Things go well until Ned's boyhood sweetie is the next dear departed, and he can't resist bringing her back for keeps! Dig the wit, style and quirky romance: If you're not laughing, you may need a visit from Ned.

Pushing Daisies is many things at once: detective show, romantic comedy, whimsical fantasy and above all, a story about a guy who bakes pies and has the ability to bring dead people back to life. Somehow all of these things come together to make one of the most enjoyable, funny and bittersweet shows to come along in a long time. A lot of that magic comes from the near-perfect casting - Lee Pace (The Fall, Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day) as Ned the Piemaker is wonderfully reserved and adorably neurotic; his facial expressions alone provide some of the most moving and hilarious moments in the series. Anna Friel as Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Chi McBride as Emerson Cod and Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook round out the regulars at the Pie Hole and veteran actresses Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene are great as Chuck's eccentric aunts whose passions include synchronized swimming, amateur ornithology and rare cheeses. Pushing Daisies exists in a world where people regularly break out into song to express their feelings, where death is never gory and usually played for comic effect, and where every color on screen is richly saturated and vibrant, creating an oddly timeless Edward Scissorhands-like world.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of cult favorites Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls has perfected his style with Pushing Daisies; this series has a broader appeal than the previous shows. Each imaginatively produced episode has such snappy writing paired with ghoulish sensibilities, heart wrenching romance and classic caper-style crime fighting, making every moment completely un-missable. The DVD release of Season One contains all nine original episodes and a behind-the-scenes featurette. ---Kira Canny
