Pushing Daisies is not doing extraordinarily well in the ratings this fall. The long hiatus because of the writers' strike did not help at all. I just adore this show, and have from the very beginning. Lee Pace is beyond dreamy as Ned, the pie maker. It's a quirky sweet show with a unique universe that reminds you in a way of a Tim Burton movie. It is like watching a mini-movie every week. Here's how one of the producer's described it:
I think that viewers want to watch a program where they can escape from their own personal worlds and find themselves in our characters’ charming universe. The show takes place in modern times, but it really occurs in a timeless version of today where the characters don’t use cell phones, computers, or other technology. I feel very fortunate to be a part of something where I can visit the set, watch these incredibly gifted actors take already wonderful lines and enhance them to match the show’s innate quirkiness.
If you've never seen the show, here's a short summary of the story so far:
