My other new show pick is Pushing Daisies. It actually makes me sad to think that anyone isn't watching this show. Watch this show!!
It is whimsical and funny, surprising and unique. The artistic design from costumes to sets, is amazing. I am not used to seeing something this well put together on network television.
Pushing Daisies is about a man who can bring things back to life by touching it, the rub is that if he touches it again, it will die forever. The other trick is that he can't cheat death; if he doesn't touch the living creature twice, some other creature (of equal value) will die. He makes a living making delicious pies and solving crimes. Pie and crimes! Delicious.
[Holy crap, my computer is playing another brick in the wall again today. It sounds like I'm going through that Floyd/Zep phase all boys go through.]
Where was I? Oh yea, pimping Pushing Daisies. If you liked Wonderfals you will *love* Pushing Daisies. [Speaking of which, did I loan you my Wonderfalls DVD set? If so, return it to me so I can loan it to someone else.]
Just give it a shot.

I just watched all three episodes last night, luckily I had set to tape them while I was gone. The show is awesome, it's got snappy dialogue and is both consistently charming and funny. I don't know how well it's doing in the ratings, but I'm with it for as long as it's on...
#2 in its time slot (#1 is Private Practice).
ABC has ordered the second half of the season, so we should have at least 22 episodes.
Not that I checked or anything....
I will now break out my TV nerd hat.
Not counting World Series games, Pushing Daisies has actually been the most watch show in it's time slot (9.5 million this week). It has been the number two most watch show on Wednesday since its launch. This week it was down to number 3 behind Private Practice and Game 1 of the World Series.
Pushing Daisies has little hope of winning in Private Practice's time slot race. Mostly because they are on the same network. Go ABC.

My apologies, Weds night ratings, not time slot ratings re: Private Practice. I, of course, would not know anything about PP (*snicker*) as it sucks.
I'm watching... And it's pretty good too. Although I cannot wait until Lost returns.
I still love Lost- of course I'm watching on DVD as patience is not my best virtue.
