Pushing Daisies

Pushing Daisies Recaps

• 'Pushing Daisies': A Norse is a Norse

  So if this is the last Pushing Daisies we have for the foreseeable future, then at least we got an episode packed to the (Cod) gills with witty writing, emotional involvement for all the regulars, a mystery tied explicitly to the larger narrative and Norwegians.

• 'Pushing Daisies': Pie vs. cake

  From the moment we first met Chuck on Pushing Daisies, we've known that she's something of an adventurous soul, and that circumstances -- her father's death, her agoraphobic aunts and, you know, her death -- prevented her from living those adventures.

• 'Pushing Daisies' vs. the Muffin Buffalo

  This week's Pushing Daisies had it all -- a deep-fried murder case, a couple of good guest turns, a Debbie Gibson song and a big, fat call-back to another Bryan Fuller show, Wonderfalls. It's almost enough to make me forget that we'll probably only get to see a few more episodes. Sigh.

• 'Pushing Daisies': The Impossible D Sharp

  This week's Pushing Daisies dug into the storybooks and presented the tale of a modern-day Robin Hood with a bit of a loose screw. If only ABC had a hero complex--perhaps PD wouldn't have been canceled.

• 'Pushing Daisies': Black Magic

  Pushing Daisies proves yet again why this show is so magical. Putting aside the fact that it took place almost entirely at a magic show, the character development alone was enough to be put anyone under its spell.

• 'Pushing Daisies' lets off some steam

  In addition to making me hungry for dim sum, this week's Pushing Daisies featured the return of one of last season's more memorable guest stars and a strong thematic tie-in between case and character, all of which added up to another tasty hour.
