Pushing Daisies is Pushing Up Daisies
I should have known. It was just too wonderful to last.
What a perfect little gem of a show: pretty to look at, intelligent, and witty. Pushing Daisies was a sweet confection that made me smile and filled my heart with a giddy joy week after week. Can someone explain to me why watching has-been celebrities salsa dancing draws millions of viewers while a critically-acclaimed show like Daisies can't keep an audience?
Yes, my thoughts exactly, Olive.
I firmly believe that the Reality show has been the worst thing to happen to TV, like, EVER. I can't help be feel that it makes people dumber, pettier, and more obsessed with celebrity and fame. They do little to engage people's minds and often cater to the lowest common denominator. "Are You Smarter Than A Third Grader?" Yeah, actually, I like to think I am.
Bryan Fuller, the creator of Pushing Daisies and other wonderful shows like Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls, is a genius. His brain is a beautiful instrument of creativity. I only hope the rest of the world will discover what some of us special few already know.
Ned the Piemaker once told his childhood sweetheart Chuck that the reason he brought her back to life was because he just thought his world would be a better place if she were in it.
Well - Ned, Chuck, Emerson, Olive, Lily, Vivian, Coroner Guy Who Only Ever Said "Mmhm...", and Digby - for a while, the world was a nicer place because you were in it.
