Hope everyone had a great holiday and that you’re not too sick of sugary sweetness just yet because today is Wednesday and that means it’s PUSHING DAISIES time!
ABC is airing a repeat of Pushing Daisies episode 1.02 “Dummy” at 8/7c. Relive the plastic body bag greatness, the usefulness of knitting needles and brilliance of a well placed Hummer.
Come back to ThePieMaker.com at 8/7c and chat with other Pushing Daisies fans about “Dummy.”
In late November, PUSHING DAISIES was honored as Best New Show at the Family Television Awards. And now you can see the cast accept the award when the Family Television Awards airs on The CW on Thursday, December 27th at 9/8c.
Filled with mermaid divers and windmill farms, Pushing Daisies is a fantastically fantastical, bubble-gum-colored fable about a pie maker named Ned (Lee Pace), who magically brings his childhood love, Chuck (Anna Friel), back to life with his touch but will kill her if he ever makes contact again. Between solving oddball mysteries involving puppy cloning and scratch-’n'-sniff empires, Chuck and Ned banter and moon at each other. (As Ned’s gruff detective buddy, wonderful Chi McBride undercuts any excess sweet.) When so many TV couples are bickery brats, there’s something strangely mature about this chaste pair. It’s easy to whip up a juicy drama about evildoing bastards — it takes a boatload of creativity to make all this niceness so mesmerizing.

The Paley Center for Media has announced that PUSHING DAISIES is one of the honored TV shows at this year’s Wiliam S. Paley Television Festival. The TV festival allows fans to interact with the creators and stars of their favorite shows in intimate sessions. In years past, the evening begins with a viewing of an episode or show highlights, followed by a Q&A. PaleyFest ‘08 will take place from March 14th-March 27th at the Arclight in Los Angeles.
The Paley Festival has been an institution for 25 years and has honored some of TV’s most memorable shows including “Cheers”, “The West Wing” etc, and more recently “Ugly Betty”, “The Family Guy”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Brothers & Sisters”, and “Alias” among others. Last year I attended panels for “The Office” and “Prison Break” and found them to be unforgettable evenings.
Although the full schedule won’t be revealed until February 4th, its been announced that the Festival will also feature and evening with Judd Apatow as well another freshman hit, “Gossip Girl”.
Tickets will go on sale to Paley members on February 7th and to the general public on February 10th. I’ll be there and I hope you will be too.
