PUSHING DAISIES ‘Dummy’ Online Reviews
We here at ThePieMaker.com loved last night’s episode of PUSHING DAISIES entitled “Dummy” but we may be a little biased. We were all mush after watching Ned and Chuck have their bodybag kiss and later hold gloved hands. Squeeing all the way until this morning.
So, to get some other opinions we once again head on into the world of online reviews and blogs to see what the masses are saying.
If you thought “Pushing Daisies” couldn’t get any cuter than last week’s pie-lette, think again. This week’s episode brought us a singing Kristin Chenoweth, knitted gun cozies, and a car that runs on dandelions. I thought it was perfect, but was it too twee for you?

I wish I could properly convey just how much I love PUSHING DAISIES. I love it so much I want to marry every single second of it. Only two episodes in and it’s already in the Top 5 of my favorite shows of all time (and that’s not a category that I take lightly). Now that’s love. I’d tell you about last night’s episode but I wouldn’t know where to begin. There was so much going on from the visuals, to the dialogue to me obsessing over just how close Ned & Chuck came to touching that I was left feeling overwhelmed…but the good kind of overwhelmed.

The danger of a brilliantly charming pilot is that it sets the bar very high for the second episode. Doing it right once is much, much easier than doing it right every time. Fortunately for “Pushing Daisies” - and for us - they’re two for two Read the rest of this review at MeeVee.
Right off the bat, this show is triumphant in its self-awareness. It’s kooky, it’s weird, it’s cute, and as Ned puts it, it’s “eccentric in a quaint way, like dessert spoons.” All the little details in the first few scenes were great. Up until she was in her teens, Chuck thought a refrigerator was called a cheesebox. Read the rest of the review at MediaVillage
[Cue British Accent] The facts are these… the TV Addict loves PUSHING DAISIES. From my new television crush — Digby the dog. To the stellar casting of Riki Lindhom — Hollywood’s next ‘IT’ girl playing the adorable pie-eating Jeanine to perfection [remember you heard it here first]. Episode two of PUSHING DAISIES was almost as good as the series premiere. Read the rest of the review at TheTVAddict.com
PUSHING DAISIES let me count the ways in which I love you. The writing, the acting, the narration, the set design, the cinematography, the camp, the relationship, and more. Last week America fell in love with Ned The Pie Maker and a Girl Named Chuck, much like I had months earlier. This week, my love affair deepened and I found myself aching for more drama, more Ned and Chuck, more Olive, more Emerson, more angst, and just more Pushing Daisies.

For those of you who were betting that the producers of “Pushing Daisies” would wait at least three episodes until Kristin Chenoweth’s character got to sing, hand over your money. Read the rest of the review at TheRecapist

OK, I can tell this improbable petit-four of a show is going to walk that fine line between winning my heart every week and annoying the crap out of me. For instance, the lime-green Dandy Lion SX. Pro: A car that runs on dandelions! That’s too cute! Con: A car that runs on dandelions. No, seriously–that is too cute. Read the rest of this review at Time
The facts are these: Episode two of Pushing Daisies absolutely kept up the whimsical tone and magical visuals of its pilot, along with some wonderfully sweet moments featuring our two protagonists. Read the rest of the review at Zap2it.com

Does the hottest new show have a fatal flaw? Anyone who’s worked in show business knows that one of the cardinal sins is to allow the audience to be distracted. There’s a time and place for stunning visuals and subtle innuendos, but when the focus needs to be on the main characters, the director and actors must make sure they don’t unintentionally create a diversion.
