May. 28th, 2008 01:33 amI like Pushing Daisies.
Hell, I love the POP COLORS. To be edited.
EDIT: Pushing Daisies is like Andy Warhol meets Tim Burton.
The living can never let go of the dead; it is their past as well as their future - as cliche as it may sound. We were all pushing daisies, and sooner or later we'll return back to the earth. Probably not to be the fodder for flowers, but more like breeding grounds for dung beetles.
That said, I caught the pilot of Pushing Daisies after catching the trailer on Channel 5. I'm an impatient TV-watcher and obviously I needed to catch it immediately, what with the bright Charlie and the Chocolate Factory colors and the seemingly quirky cast.
And I wasn't disappointed. Pushing Daisies is like The Ghost Whisperer except without that whole pretence. What pretence? The one where you try to genuinely help others out because it is right. Pushing Daisies' protagonist Ned clearly isn't in it for any humanitarian reasons. And he acknowledges his unselfish selfishness wholeheartedly - and that's what I love about the show. It knows that it's campy and embraces its quirky, almost sardonic approach to life and death.
(I typed "deaf" there, but I'm just dyslexic.)
I'm definitely going to continue to watch this series. The script-writer(s) are awesome. I'm probably going to catch Dead Like Me and finish watching Wonderfalls. If you er, can't tell - I like these kinds of shows. :D()
(Note: That Titanic parody in episode two is lulz.)
Some quotes!

Some quotes!
Narrator: At this very moment in the town of Couer d'Couers, young Ned was nine years, twenty-seven weeks, six days and three minutes old. His dog, Digby was three years, two weeks, six days, five hours, and nine minutes old... and not a minute older.
Narrator: As he stared at her, he reached around his back and held his own hand, pretending he was holding hers. And at that very moment, she was pretending to be holding his.
Chuck: Emerson thinks I'm useless. Am I useless?
Ned: No, you're not useless. "Useless" is an empty soap dispenser in the restroom standing around reminding people what you could be doing, but doing nothing at all.
