Slice of Pie

Post by Padme »

Shut your pie hole, Pushing Daisies is back on tonight.


Oh alright speak a lot about this great show.

I must say I have secret celebrity crush on Kristen Chenoweth because of this show. I love Olive.

If I remember correcty the Grand Hippo also likes this show.

So come on in and discuss the show here.

And we serve pie.

Did anyone else experience a screen blackout of about 10 to 15 minutes of the show last night? It happened near the front of the hour. You could still hear the voice but not see the picture --- and every other channel was all right.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers

I didn't.

Spoiler



I find it funny that Olive is a nun. I am glad they are making the aunts parts bigger.

How long will Olive be confined there? And that means the cleavage meter can be put away for a while. I would bet she is back in short order.

It happens. :(

It really is too bad more people didn't watch it so it would keep going. People seemed to be more interested in viewing reality TV.

I think it was killed by the strike. Its numbers were decent before the looong hiatus. It was building a solid word of mouth following--and you can't just flip a switch to get that going again.

The decision NOT to bring it back afterthe strike for a Spring run hurt the show. Most of the shows which were brought back for the spring run did okay in continuing to build viewers.

The show last night was the best one yet. The last few minutes with Olive singing was tremendous and some of the best TV I have seen in a long time. Boy am I going to miss this show.
