Pushing Daisies

Midge · 11-14-2008, 03:41 PM

I think it's high time we started one of these. I don't expect it will be a huge hit, but last night I found myself in an academic conversation about the possibility of Chuck and Ned having kids and if that would actually work, and I realized that the concept of the show has a LOT of implications which would fuel quite an interesting thread.

Hence the amazing new Pushing Daisies thread.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-14-2008, 04:30 PM

This is absolutely my favorite current television show.

Which means it is likely to be canceled any minute now. I have horrible luck with television.

As for Chuck and Ned conceiving, maybe if there was some artificial insemination involved it could work.

Midge · 11-14-2008, 04:36 PM

That's what my mom thought...

But then... do you think it wouldn't kill her if the "insemination" came from Ned?

How technical are we getting here?

I'm so glad to see that there are other fans besides me and Empress Flynn!

Sign this Petition to Save Pushing Daisies! I did.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-14-2008, 04:53 PM

About the insemination, I wonder. While there would be millions of cells with Ned's DNA, I'm thinking the "dead again forever" must only come from living skin to living skin contact.

Surely he's left hairs and dead skin cells all around that Chuck has touched without harm.

But if artificial insemination wouldn't work, perhaps in vitro fertilization would work. Once the egg is fertilized it is neither Ned nor Chuck. It is someone new, so presumably Chuck could carry the child to term.

I'll go sign the petition. I didn't even know the show was in danger, aside from the fact that I'm a fan. I'll have to tell my "Cupid" story when I have more time.

Midge · 11-15-2008, 08:44 PM

That is what I'm wondering too. I have considered that. I hadn't even thought of in vitro.

Draken · 11-18-2008, 12:38 PM

I'm just pleased Anna Friel is still getting work. Though her best moment will always be snogging Margaret in "Brookside".

Midge · 11-18-2008, 06:26 PM

I gave a persuasive speech today telling my classmates to watch the show on Wednesdays at 7:00! I got a 98! *excitement!*

Anyway.... they were all, "Oh, wow... That looks good." My professor asked who would probably watch it and a whole bunch of them raised their hands (the class is mostly girls).

It was encouraging.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-19-2008, 12:30 PM

Awesome, Midge.

Midge · 11-19-2008, 04:39 PM

I KNOW! Sweeeeetttt..

Empress_Flynn · 11-20-2008, 09:42 AM

Well, I won't be around too much for the next few weeks to take part in this thread, but good topic, Midge!

I'll sign the petition right now!

And I'm also getting the fairies to bring me this week's episode as we speak because I am back in the land of the Britons and it's not on over here lol.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 11-20-2008, 10:38 AM

I think they keep track of hits at the show's website on abc.com so if we watch episodes on there, they'll know about it, even if we're not Nielsen people.

Another great episode last night. I can really see this show getting canceled. It is too good for television.

Goldberry1 · 11-21-2008, 03:58 AM

Word is it's canceled: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/11/...ng-abc-pa.html

**Nurvingiel** · 11-22-2008, 02:55 AM

That's too bad, this show was fantastic. TV needs more like it. Creative, engaging, interesting, great acting... le sigh.

Empress_Flynn · 11-23-2008, 08:52 AM

From what I've read... ABC is not officially saying it's canceled, but they haven't ordered a full season of episodes for it yet....

So, things are not dead, but they're not looking too great either...

I still have to watch this week's episode... I can't even watch it on the abc website because it won't work internationally...

Oh well, keeping my fingers crossed for it!

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 12-03-2008, 12:24 PM

Looks like it's over, at least for ABC. There are still revival efforts but they rarely seem to work.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 12-09-2008, 10:08 AM

This week's episode was one of the best ever. My favorites are always the ones that feature Kristin(Olive) and her beautiful singing. I heart her.

The question I have now is: Will they air the remaining five filmed episodes or will they be lost forever, never to be seen?

Midge · 12-09-2008, 03:05 PM

She sang in the episode on Wednesday? I completely forgot what it was about because I had a friend over and she made me watch the entirety of the first season, which I have on DVD.

Man. Now I am super depressed because PD looks like it's going.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 12-09-2008, 04:52 PM

You can view any of the episodes on ABC.com with only brief commercial interruptions. If you're a PD fan, you will definitely want to see this episode, IMO.

Also, don't just search youtube for a clip of the song. It's much better in context. Unrequited love always gets to me.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 12-10-2008, 07:52 PM

It's on again tonight. Apparently they are going to wrap up the filmed episodes, or at least some of them. Looks like we have as many as five more eps to watch as ABC slowly tears our hearts out for the next month.

I hate that network. I've hated them since Cupid. When they canceled that show, I didn't watch a single ABC show until last summer when someone convinced me to watch a taped episode of Pushing Daisies. Fell in love instantly. Decided to give ABC another chance this fall when PD started again.

And they cancel the best show on television, the only show I watch, AGAIN!

I'm done with ABC forever.

Midge · 12-10-2008, 09:42 PM

Oh, I saw the episode. I know it had

Chuck's dad coming back to life and Dwight Dixon dying because Chuck kept her dad alive

.

I just don't really remember what song Olive sang.

I'm watching the new episode now. It's so freaking upsetting! I think that Ned should just pull the plug.
