What's Pushing Daisies going to be like?

[KatyMac]

I'm a little concerned tbh

Like 90% of the rest of American television: pure shite.

WANKAGE
oh no us tv good
sopranos
la law
murder one
lost
NYPD blue
ER( early days)

I though so

DH wants to watch

I of course am MNing

all those shows were shite, cod.

not as shitey as Friends, The OC and all that other, stinky shite.

but shite all the same.

Pushing Daisies is brilliant.

I agree with luminar.

It's beautifully produced, and quite quirky.

Definitely watch it if you have a love of pies, which I do.

lasted less than a minute before I switched over...and that was before shiny teeth /shiny hair friel came on.

Oh, god, another American show that is 'quirky'.

Just what the world needs!

Dd has been asking to watch it ( 7yo but fairly mature) is it suitable or not ?

i wouldn't let a 7 yo watch it. later in the series the bodies tend to be more mangled. it tends to be a murder every week, and some (gentle) sex references occasionally

plus, i think there's stuff a 7 yo wouldn't get

I turned over to watch Love Soup, so who did kill her???

it didnt show you, just some man in a balclava that one of her aunties killed as he tried to kill her

Oh i loved it!! It was brilliant!!

I'm wondering how they're going to keep it interesting as a series - could end up a bit 'Six Feet Under' with lots of corpses and an underlying story, I suppose.

its more murder mystery of the week than six feet under, so there is a corpse every week, but (imo) its never played the same every week- the death is always clever and never really guessable

It's very odd. Sort of a murder mystery with black humour. And very American. (I saw it at work - I wouldn't watch it at home)

But light hearted - it's obviously not serious.

By the way, you should be aware that ITV (because they are twonks) are missing out ep 2 and going straight to ep 3.

I gave it a go as I loved Dead Like Me and this is from the same guy. You could see the similarities but I felt it was a bit contrived as a story idea and I didn't give a toss about the main characters. It's trying too hard.

Did they edit it for the ITV2 rehsow on Sundya ? Only saw a bit btu it seemed to lack the pink plastic used as the mruder weapon . It is a bit Randall and Hopkirk but cannot see how the idea will be sustained. And what is all this fuss about ITV missing hte 2nd episode out , if that still makes sense then it is a poor reflection on the show !

I couldnt get past Anna Friel's new set of glow in the dark veneers... like a rabbit in headlights.

If they are missing out episode 2 i think i will try and download it!

Just watched the second episode and am now watching episode 3 that is being repeated from last night. Thanx for the heads up!
