    Again, it's back to the writing and the look. Both are superb.

    The facts, then, are these: Pushing Daisies isn’t perfect, but there’s no other dance on TV remotely like it. And to echo last season’s review, that alone is reason to hope it finds a way to avoid death’s touch.

    You may well be wondering if they are worth watching – perhaps for the first time. In the case of Pushing Daisies, the answer is a qualified yes.

    It still has the same problem, which is exactly where it can take itself, but the ride remains as delightful as the bright shiny colors with which the show lavishly decorates itself.

    This series is brilliant and it's is a horrid shame that it was cancelled. Pushing Daisies was unique and quirky, it's disgusting that American TV producers leave on trashy, mindless series that are carbon copies of one another and pull fresh new show off the air.… Expand

    One of the critics said it best. I admire this show more than i like it. More programs need to take risks, rather than just one more version of a CSI. There is nothing wrong with who-done-its that resolve themselves every week. They can be enjoyable. But put some twists into the characters and their lives. It shouldn't be the same show, except Miami instead of Las Vegas. Pushing Daisies tried and the writing couldn't keep up. Life on Mars has done a better job of putting a real twist on the basic detective show and keeping the stories compelling.… Expand

    I loved season one, but in my opinion, you should add a little amperage to the season that follows. In my opinion, this episode could have easily been just another episode from season one. I expected more in a season premier.… Expand

    Great dialogue and cool imagery don't make up for the incredibly poor quality of the mysteries. At it's core each week Pushing Daisy's is a who-done-it mystery. Only problem is, the mystery is contrived, impossible to follow and never rewarding. The writers need some help.… Expand
