The Facts Were These...

I love this show, Pushing Daisies. It is well written, funny and punny! Not in the Fozzy Bear sense, but in the very smart punny sense. You have to pay attention to get it all.

Last Saturday night I was so excited because a new episode was on. But alas...Last night was number 2 of the very last 3 episodes of Pushing Daisies.


I was always enamoured with this show since the beginning.
I loved the narrator, the show felt a little Bullwinkle, you know it's so Boris and Natashaesque.
At the beginning of each episode, he'd catch you up on what went down earlier and kept you up to speed during the episode you're currently watching by filling you in on the relationship backgrounds or evil doings by the characters in the episode.

The other thing I absolutely love about this show is the artistic settings, the costumes and of course the Pie Hole itself~ the Pie restaurant that Ned the Pie Maker owns.

Here is Ned the "Pie Maker"

A shy, warm-hearted loner who keeps the outside world at arm's length, mostly because of his astonishing secret -- his touch can bring the dead back to life. Ned owns and operates the Pie Hole, with the help of waitress Olive Snook. Ned's best friend since childhood is his loyal dog, Digby, whom he can never touch.


And Chuck, a.k.a. Charlotte Charles, Ned's one true love...wait a minute this sounds a little like "The Princess Bride".

Sunny, and with moxie to spare, Chuck's motto might as well be "never say die." Because she didn't. Well, she did, but thanks to a 'touching' reunion with childhood sweetheart Ned, Chuck got a second chance at life. After spending her youth caring for shut-in aunts Lily and Vivian, Chuck is determined to live her second life to the fullest.

The actress who plays Chuck~ Anna Friel is currently in Land of the Lost.


This is one of Pushing Daisies Starter Kits I found on YouTube. It basically tells the whole story in a nut...no wait... a pie shell!
