FAQ

If, when Ned touches them, strawberries cease to be rotten, but the guy who got mauled by his secretary's dog was still mauled?
I am absolutely in love with the background music of the show. Who is the composer and is there a soundtrack?
In "Pigeon", I distinctly saw Chuck touch Ned without being killed again. What's up with that?

The most cinematic and unique show of the century!, 17 July 2009
10/10
Author: red_identity from United States

I cannot praise Pushing Daisies any more. It is easily the most unique show of the century. It is creative, has quirky comedy and drama thrown in, and fantastic performances from Lee Pace, Anna Friel, and the rest of the cast. It has beautiful set designs and gorgeous cinematography, as well as vibrant colors and effects. Easily the only original show made by Hollywood n the last few years. The sad part is, it's originality is what got it canceled, since not too many people tuned in. I really do miss it, and I am sure it will become an iconic television show as the years go by. A Motion Picture done with this material would be fantastic, but for now, I can enjoy this delight in my home! HOORAY for Pushing Daises, and farewell.
