Lee Pace, Ellen Greene and Swoosie Kurtz share their thoughts on what makes PUSHING DAISIES such a special show.

Thanks to Becky for sending us this vid.

A lot of you emailed us asking for hi-res Pushing Daisies cast photos and here they are.  We apologize for giving these out in various posts but we wanted to make sure you got what you wanted!

Here are our individual hi-res cast photos for you to drool over, download and play with.

Here are two wicked adorable “Pie In The Sky” promo pics from Pushing Daisies Season 2.

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!

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…

Kath and I wish we could have had more information posted earlier but we had a bunch of other panels and press rooms today that inhibited us from running to our laptops and posting about Pushing Daisies, but damnit here goes nothing…

The divine divas from E!, Kristen Dos Santos and Korbi Ghosh, hit the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Red Carpet and got the poop, the scoop, the skinny, the haps, the dilly-o and the 411. Chi McBride also reveals that the writing staff is on crack. Mild Spoilers coming your way!

Head on over to Watch With Kristin to see the whole post and a picture from the panel that has both Kath and I visible in the bottom left. Dorks!

If you’ve been following our coverage of the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival panel then you know we’re planning on doing another Piecast Podcast to chat about how incredible the evening was but we couldn’t help get some information up after all the emails we’ve received.

The Piecast will hopefully be ready for Monday night as we’ve decided to hold out until after our visit to the Writers Room in the afternoon in case Bryan Fuller and Co. give us any scoop we can spill to all the fans. Fingers crossed gang!

As we’re really trying to save our thoughts until the Piecast, we decided it would be a good chance to have some of our loyal ThePieMaker.com readers in attendance share their thoughts with you all!

First up is Patricia from San Diego (who oddly enough happens to be the Sister of my friend Jenny, strange but true) who attended the panel with her husband Michael. Patricia’s got a ton of quotes from the panel as well as some fun tidbits that the cast and crew shared. Some of our burning questions are answered as well. Ever wonder if Ned is a Vegetarian or if Ned & Chuck could ever possibly have a baby? Well, read on…

Second will be reader Erika with a quick take on what it was like to be a fan and aspiring TV Writer in attendance of her favorite show.

Take it away ladies…

The deluge continues… Here is a very brief video from the beginning of the Pushing Daisies Paley Fest Panel discussion. Hopefully the Paley Center will be releasing a DVD of the panel for sale in the very near future. We will of course keep you updated if that is the case.

We’ve already posted a bunch of the official Paley Center images from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel but here are the one’s that Kath and I took during the session as well as during the fan signing.

For full disclosure, our microtrack was confiscated and our cameras bitch-slapped out of our hands by Security (we were in the front row so apparently it was distracting) even though they made no announcement but whatevs…
