HA! "Legend of Merle McQoddy"! I already thought "Hey, that's just like pasamcquoddy from Pete's Dragon".
And lo & behold! AN ENTIRE EPISODE AS AN HOMAGE TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES OF ALL TIME!
Oh. I've just IMDB'd Pete's Dragon, and omg, JIM DALE [aka "The Narrator"] was the travelling pharmacist I LOVED?!??! OMG!
Good lord, I always did have good taste in voices when I was a kid. ;)
Anyhow. The facts are these [oh god I can't even use acronyms: PD vs PD]
1.Town name in Pete's Dragon: PasamcquadyFamily name in Pushing Daisies: The McQuoddy's
2.Pete's dragon's name: ElliotMcQuoddy kid's name: Elliot
3.Adoptive mother of Pete: NoraMcQuoddy mother: Nora
4.Awesome song sung by Nora: Candle on the WaterAwesome song sung by quartet & Cheno: Candle on the Water
I reiterate: I love Pushing Daisies. And I am so, so sad they have cancelled it.
One of the best episodes. I'm so sad we will never see Olive get together with Alfredo as we all know we should! :(
MORE SINGING FOR OLIVE!!!!
