Pushing Daisies 1.8: Bitter Sweets

This episode has it all. Emerson and Chuck work together without the use of The Pie Maker's powers; The Pie Maker gets wrongfully arrested for a murder he didn't commit; Olive bawls her eyes out as she attempts to help the Pie Maker by baking him a pie with a gun and bullets in it; Molly Shannon and Mike White cameo with stellar performances; and The Pie Maker finally comes clean about Chuck's dad. This is as close to a perfect episode of this show as I think we can get.

Pushing Daisies 1.7: Smell of Success

If you thought adding the actor who played Pee-Wee Herman would be the weirdest part of this episode, you'd be wrong. Pin-up pop-up books and death by scratch and sniff come to mind. This episode did have a few issues that took us out, but overall, we enjoyed it. And the end made James even more excited to continue watching.

Pushing Daisies 1.6: B*tches

It's becoming increasingly clear what our biggest qualm with this show is: the episode titles. And with this week's episode, we were sad to discover just how problematic a title can be. Don't get us wrong, we enjoyed the episode (strange caption issues aside). It just didn't sit well with us who the title was really referring to.

Pushing Daisies 1.5: Girth

We were excited about this week's episode. It's only the second show to give us something holiday themed. And what better holiday for Pushing Daisies to tackle than Halloween? The quirk and camp really help here, and the stakes are raised. And unlike its predecessor, this show presents a masterclass in how to have two women at odds with each other without it being their only motivation.

Pushing Daisies 1.4: Pigeon

A lot happens in this week's episode, and not in a bad weird. The show is really leaning into its quirkiness, and that makes it feel right. We get more singing, this time a duet with Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Green. We get a brief understanding between Chuck and Olive. And we finally get some real stakes between Chuck and the Pie Maker, though we're both still not that jazzed about the relationship. It's cute, but cute can only carry it so far. It's going to need something else if the show wants to keep us interested.

Pushing Daisies 1.3: The Fun in Funeral

This week's episode was an odd one. It feels like the second part of a two-part pilot, but it aired as episode 3. Still, it was a great departure from all of the issues of last week's episode. Questions are answered, characters are developed, future storylines are set up. All in all, it was a pretty good episode.

Pushing Daisies 1.2: Dummy

We're in the trenches now. Not only do none of the questions we had get answered in this episode, we end up with more questions than before. Like why does the Pie Maker go out of his way to explain multiple times that it's VERY DANGEROUS for him and Chuck to touch, only for them to spend most of the episode seemingly only an inch apart? Or why does the Pie Maker make such a big deal about Chuck needing to be in disguise only for her to spend half the episode not in disguise? And we are returning to one of our biggest issues we've seen with other shows in the past, timing. But at least we got to see Kristin Chenoweth sing.
