"Pushing Daisies" pushes on with a full season order

Who here is watching Pushing Daisies? Raise your hands. OK, keep them up. So who here would be excited to hear that Pushing Daisies got a full season order? Feel free to wave those arms around with joy. Here, I’ll join you.



The quirky little show is my favorite and one of the season’s most unexpected successes. And when I say quirky, I mean really quirky. Like women-in-giant-dandelion-outfits quirky.



"It’s like Dr. Seuss, dipped in Tim Burton, then sprinkled with Disney. In other words, it’s weirdly sweet. Or sweetly weird."

The sweet part mainly has to do with the piemaker Ned (Lee Pace) and his back-from-the-dead childhood love Chuck (Anna Friel). They’re so cute, it’s almost annoying.



Did anyone else do a happy dance when Olive and Chuck’s aunts started singing They Might Be Giants in yesterday’s episode? Talk about making a little birdhouse in your soul.



From the first moments of the pilot, with that gorgeous field and the wonderful narration, I knew this wasn't going to be like any television show I had ever seen before. There isn't one thing I don't totally adore about it.
