Once again, ThePieMaker.com congratulate the cast and crew of PUSHING DAISIES on this accomplishment.
Congratulations to the whole cast and crew of Pushing Daisies. You guys deserve the very best. Creative writers (and actors) makes an amazing show. Hope the issues are resolved before the year ends.
Have a happy holiday guys!
Congratulations. I too would like to thank them for a wonderful and entertaining hour of television.
Though i may be jaded with some of the fare out there, it’s great to have some guilt free pleasure to something i can watch with the family regardless of age.
I find it refreshing in this day and of predictable story line and drab
appearance.
I think the little clay village in the first episode for example.
Again congrats and i hope this strike is resolved soon so we can return to this great tale.
Lots a luck.
I loved Pushing Daisies, I’m a hardcore PBS fan and never watch network TV, but heard a review about the show on NPR, and after two times I was hooked…but where is it, it hasn’t been on in weeks and weeks….has it been discontinued?
I agree.. me and my Boyfriend keep wondering when the next episode will be.. I liked several things about it.. “pies baked with mood enhancers and gouda crust” , the flashbacks rimind me of that movie “big fish”…
The writer’s strike in Hollywood put a halt to Pushing Daisies - the one show I actually think is worth watching out there!
But hopefully it will be back on soon since I think they signed the deal…
i wish there would be some news about the return of the show
i wish there would some news any news about the fate of the show. i have an offbeat sense of humor, and pud thrills me to no end.
I am seriously missing this show! It is written so beautifully and the cast delivers the lines with impeccable timing. I just find that it is the only show on tv that makes me smile….and I seem to smile the whole way through. I am so entertained by the excellent writing, the stimulating set and wardrobe, and the surprises around each corner! Bring it back…soon! I am missing my pies!
When, When, When??? When is this coming back??? ABC, will you give us an answer??? PLEASE!!
ARM - Keep checking thepiemaker.com for the latest news on Pushing Daisies.
It has been announced that the show will be coming back in the Fall. The exact premiere date has not yet been announced.
Thank you Kath!! I really appreciate it!
Please bring back my favorite show. I miss it.
I love Pushing Daisies, I was eerily depressed by the lack of episodes due to the writers strike. I am a Marine who works late, so I always caught up on the show with full episodes on ABC.com. Unfortunately, I will miss the next season in the fall on TV due to a humanitarian aid mission in Columbia. I will have to catch it on the website again. Congratulations and good luck Cast and Crew, I’m hooked.
Whoever wrote this story, please learn how to spell “mantel.”
Thanks.
Why does Jim Dale, who provides the “Voice Over”, not receive a credit?
A very belated congratulations to all who work on Pushing Daisies! I love this show and cannot wait until the fall episodes!
i missed the entire 1st season, but just watched all 4 episodes on abc.com in my own pushing daisies mini-marathon. this show is endearing to the max. it’s got equal parts, ‘amelie’ and csi - who would’ve ever thought…? i also agree the voice-over magician should get a shout out. and the composer/musicians…! perfection. i’m so happy i found this show. and side bar, i think i should be lee’s girlfriend.
good luck to all!!!
