So let's watch some Pushing Daisies!

What is Pushing Daisies?

The biggest problem with this show? I now have a constant craving for pie. even single serving cupcake pies.

Haha, zany concept. Is this a comedy or played straight?

It's a dramedy.

It’s Bryan Fuller, so there’s plenty of humor.

I'll take that with a slice of Pace.

Season 2, episode 5 and I still want pie.

 

[flickchick85]

Planning to start my rewatch tomorrow. Can't wait!

 

[flickchick85]

This show is just as delightful as I remember. Oh how I missed this Pie Maker! And Olive. I'd forgotten how much I also missed Emerson Cod, though. He's just wonderful.

What makes this show is this wonderful cast. Even the narrator is perfect.

Jim Dale! The amazing voice of all the Harry Potter audiobooks. I’m glad that I also know him from this show so that I don’t just know him from something tainted by creator awfulness lol.

I keep being summoned in the banner... who do I have to save now?

See, you like whimsical, romantic stuff!

Twilight is just BAD romantic stuff.

 

[squeekness]

Pie! I've got two left to go. I'll get to those later today.

Watch some TV!

 

[squeekness]

Ta da! I actually finished a show on time! This show was fun and well worth the watch. I am officially in love with Lee Pace.

With @squeekness done Pushing Daisies and the end of the month just a week away, I think the moment has arrived for me to make my nomination for March:

Next month, I turn 35 and I would love for us to celebrate by watching one of my favourite shows of all time and possibly the greatest food porn put to celluloid. This is the real deal, the real chefs, that inspired everything from last year's
The Menu to The Bear.

Who is ready to journey into the depths of obsession? Very, very tasty obsession! @InCali? @MissMarvelous?

But will people get in a big fight and yell at each other?

 

[squeekness]

Will it make me stop wanting to eat pie?

 

[DKDetective]

It's a show about the pressures of fine dining restaurants... Of course there is yelling!

Doesn't sound like my kind of show... unless they murder each other at the end.

 

[DKDetective]

Kinda, because you will start craving tortellini, salmon, fire grilled Argentinian short ribs, air balloons made of candy, the most perfect carrots, raman, fried chicken, and the most beautiful bread instead...

Until you get to the Christina Tosi episode and you learn about "Crack Pie"...


And then all you will ever want ever again is Crack Pie.*

*It is now officially called Milk Bar Pie, but the original name better conveys its addictiveness.
