Today’s the day! PUSHING DAISIES Season 1 on DVD and Blue-Ray officially hits the stores!

ThePieMaker.com got our copies last week and we can tell you first hand that you are going to love the DVDs. Everything from the packaging, to the insides menus, to the special features are just so special. A must have for any PUSHING DAISIES fan.

The 3-disc set features all nine delicious episodes from Season One as well as some delightful bonus features:

• Pie Time: Time for Pie - A Delicious, Interactive Featurette with Flavorful, Fresh-Baked Pie Slices as your Entree and Cast/Creative Team Members Dishing Forkfuls of Series Secrets
• An interactive featurette with creators of the show, the set designer and special effects team who all come together to make this show so unique.
• Special interviews from creator Bryan Fuller and Lee Pace as they discuss their favorite first season scenes.

Pushing PUSHING DAISIES…
The DVDs are more than reasonably priced (less than $20 in most stores), which means you can afford to pick up 2 copies. Keep one for yourself and use the other as a loaner copy to share with family and friends that haven’t yet seen PUSHING DAISIES. With only 9 episodes in the first season, it’s easy for a newbie to get caught up and fall in love with the show like we have. Share the love and push the DAISIES!

Will you be heading out to buy your copy today?

We were picked to give these goodies away to ONE lucky Pushing Daisies fan and ThePieMaker.com reader so we thought what better way to pick a winner than by having you answer a question.  If you’ve entered our contests before we like to make them interactive and hopefully fun for all involved.

How To Enter To Win:
In the comments section answer the following question…

• If you could pick one dead person (real or fictional) for Ned to bring back to life who would it be and why?

Kath and I will pick a winner at random on September 20th which still allows you plenty of time to watch all 9 episodes of Season 1 while wearing the same shirt Young Charlotte Charles wore prior to Season 2 beginning on October 1st. Good luck Pie Ho’s!

Many of you have been asking whether or not a PUSHING DAISIES soundtrack will be released.  And now we can tell you YES!  The soundtrack is being released by Varese Sarabande on October2 1st and will feature Jim Dooley’s charming and whimsical score that ‘captures all the quirkiness of the delightful show.’

Thanks to Kerry & Jason for the tip!

It’s Pie Time! We are beyond thrilled to report that Season One of PUSHING DAISIES will be released on September 16th. The first season may have been shortened by the writers strike but that doesn’t mean we are getting short changed on the DVDs. Here’s some details on the DVDs:

• 3-disc set will be available starting September 16th for $29.98 (or pre-order it now for $18.99)
• The Blue-Ray version of Season One will also be available on September 16th for $39.98
• All nine episodes from Season One
• Bonus Featurette: Pie Time: Time for Pie - A Delicious, Interactive Featurette with Flavorful, Fresh-Baked Pie Slices as your Entree and Cast/Creative Team Members Dishing Forkfuls of Series Secrets [Update] An interactive featurette with creators of the show, the set designer and special effects team who all come together to make this show so unique. Special interviews from creator Bryan Fuller and Lee Pace as they discuss their favorite first season scenes.

Every not-so-often, along comes a show that’s different. Wonderfully different. Pushing Daisies, TV Guide’s Matt Roush writes, “restores my faith in TV’s ability to amuse, enchant and entertain.” It’s the story of Ned, a lonely pie maker whose touch can reanimate the dead. Cool, but there’s a hitch. If Ned touches the person again, the miracle is reversed. If he doesn’t, a bystander goes toes up. What to do? Easy: Team with a private eye, bring murder victims back just long enough to discover whodunit, and collect the rewards. Things go well until Ned’s boyhood sweetie is the next dear departed, and he can’t resist bringing her back for keeps! Dig the wit, style and quirky romance: If you’re not laughing, you may need a visit from Ned.

I’m going to pre-order my copy today. This is really exciting. I refuse to delete any of the first nine episodes from my DVR until the DVDs are in my hands. Drop us a line in the comments once you re-order.

It’s finally official folks, Amazon has Pushing Daisies Season 1 DVD Box Set available for pre-order ($18.99). 
*Still no release date.

Those of us in the US have to wait until September to experience Season One of PUSHING DAISIES on DVD, but our friends in the UK only have to wait until June 23rd (lucky Brits). And courtesy of our friends across the pond comes a first look at the S1 DVD cover art.

No word yet on the special features, but we expect to know soon and we’ll be sure to pass it along.
