Kristin Dos Santos got a chance to talk to Lee Pace, Dan Jinks and Barry Sonnenfeld just minutes after they and the rest of Team Daisies finished signing a ton of autographs for fans at Comic Con.  She gets them to talk a little bit about Season 2 so if you aren’t into spoilers of any kind then you might not want to hit play.

So you’ve seen the pictures and hopefully you’ve had the chance to listen to the full audio of the PUSHING DAISIES panel at Comic Con.  But we understand that some of you have to be a little covert  and maybe can’t be listening while at work or school, so we wanted to post a mini-recap of the panel itself for your reading pleasure.

We’ve broken in out into two sections, the first being general highlights from the panel and the second section being spoilerish information.  If you want to avoid spoilers just stop reading when we tell you to.

Bryan Fuller and the cast are excited about the Comic Con Panel…

• As happy as the audience would have been to watch the “Pie-lette” once again, it wasn’t in the original plans for Team Daisies. The panel’s opening video was supposed to be some footage from the PUSHING DAISIES Paley Fest panel, but as the now familiar scenes of the first episode aired Bryan Fuller and Barry Sonnenfeld rushed to the stage to stop the presses (or at least the video). Instead they showed the fantastic Season 2 teaser trailer which threw the already amped-up crowd into a tizzy. But not before Fuller was able to pimp the much anticipated launch date for Season 1 of PUSHING DAISIES on DVD (September 16th on DVD and Blu-Ray. Pre-order your copy here today.)

• As the cast was introduced by moderator Barry Sonnenfeld’s acerbic comments, many of them took the stage by running past the front row and slapping hands with the audience.  I almost lost an eye due to the Cheno fans behind me but it would have been well worth it. (I could always ask Aunt Viv for a fancy new eye-patch).

• Anna Friel tried out her American accent on the crowd for a bit but we all quickly cheered her back into her British speak. (On a side note, Anna looked stunning in with her black dress and bright red lips)

• Chi McBride, who was decked out in a colorful tee and jeans quipped that he was dressed for Comic Con while some of his co-stars were red carpet ready.  Kristin and Anna both sported fantastic little black dresses for the event all looked all kinds of glam.

• Barry Sonnenfeld read aloud a message that Team Daisies sexy mama bear, Ellen Greene, sent to the cast before their bus travels from L.A. to San Diego.  She reminded them that the bus can get chilly so bring a sweater, and offered up some fun travel options including games and movies.  She’s adorable!

One of the best moments of the PUSHING DAISIES Comic Con panel was when Kristin Chenoweth graced us with an impromptu version of”Somewhere Over the Rainbow”.  The room was in awe and I certainly had the chills.  That voice from such an itty bitty little thing.

Enjoy…

And have a watch if you’d like…

For those of you who couldn’t be there, ThePieMaker.com wanted to let you experience yesterday’s PUSHING DAISIES Comic-Con panel through the images we captured during the panel and then at the autograph signing session that Team Daisies took part in down on the Comic-Con floor. After the signing the cast went up to the WB tower room above the Comic-Con floor to do some interviews - Dan and I were up there too so we snagged a few pics.

A lot more pictures after the jump…

Bryan Fuller just confirmed to ThePieMaker.com the first six episode titles for the Season 2 of PUSHING DAISIES.  In true DAISIES fashion the episode titles alone are enough to get us excited.  Here you go..

Ep. 2.01: Bzzzzzzzzz
Ep. 2.02: Circus Circus
Ep. 2.03: Bad Habits
Ep. 2.04: Frescorts
Ep. 2.05: Dim Sum Lose Some
Ep. 2.06: Oh Oh Oh It’s Magic

One of the best panels I attended yesterday was the EW Showrunners panel featuring Josh Schwartz (CHUCK, GOSSIP GIRL), Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof (LOST),  Josh Friedman (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) and our favorite Bryan Fuller of PUSHING DAISIES. What a thrill for a TV lovers to have all these great minds on one panel.

Bryan was fantastic on the panel and had some wonderful insights to share on the show, and a few minor spoilers for the upcoming season (that’s your official warning)!

Friend of ThePieMaker.com, Patrica Buckley took the time to pull together the highlights of the panel.

Entertainment Weekly’s The Visionaries: Showrunners
Meeting the People with the Answers
By Patricia Morris Buckley

Only at ComicCon — where attendees understand the value of the people behind-the-scenes who create and sustain TV shows — would a panel of showrunners fill to the brim a large hall of eager, hyper appreciative fans. So it’s no surprise that the crowd that showed up to applaud and ask probing questions of five of the best-known showrunners in Hollywood treated the panel like movie actors and rock stars.

After all, these are the people who really know: What happened to the island and why is Locke in a coffin? Why Olive is moving to a nunnery? Will Serena and Dan ever get together?

But pre-season spoilers weren’t the only draw of this panel — not by a longshot. These five men are not afraid to speak their minds about their shows, the networks that broadcast them and each other’s creative efforts. They may not be performers, but they had the audience laughing so hard tat several audience members almost fell out of their homemade superhero costumes.

I just left the showrunner’s panel at which PUSHING DAISIES creator Bryan Fuller was a panelist.  He had a few interesting notes about the new season, including Pigby!! Once I get a break I’ll be sure to write up a recap.  But for now I’m heading off for a little one-on-one time with Bryan.  I promise to try and get some scoop just for readers of ThePieMaker.com!

Happy birthday to Kristin Chenoweth! Sorry we were so late in wishing her the best on her special day but we are in San Diego at Comic Con anxiously awaiting the PUSHING DAISIES panel on Saturday.  We’ve received updates for Kristin’s birthday bash and it seems like everyone is having fun.

We wish you nothing but the best to Kristin (and Olive)!

Kristin Chenoweth can now add EMMY nominated actress to her long list of accomplishments.  This morning E!’s Kristin Dos Santos was the first to catch up with Kristin just moments after she was surprised by her Oustanding Supporting Actress is Comedy nomination.

Sorry, but you just gotta love the height difference between Cheno and KDS.  Love it!

Congrats once again, Kristin.  We may be biased but we think you’ll get the “popular” vote!
