‘If This Van’s A-Rockin’, I’m Bein’ Murdered!!’ Hercules Endorses Tonight’s PUSHING DAISIES!!’

Published at:  Oct 08, 2008 7:13:44 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!



Yikes! I saw tonight’s episode weeks ago and I’ve been so busy with the fall season I completely forget we get fresh “Daisies” tonight!

To the best of my memory:

Young Ned ruins a field trip.

Olive befriends a pig, to hilarious effect.

There’s a very dark metaphor about an abandoned fridge.

Chuck outwits a teen Emerson could not outwit.

Hayley McFarland, who co-stars in Diablo Cody’s upcoming Showtime series, plays a teen runaway.

The ubiquitous Rachael Harris, who without her eyeglasses reminds me a lot of Julia Duffy, plays the runaway’s mom.

8 p.m. Wednesday. ABC.







Pee-Wee: $7.25/Season!!

50% Or More Off 376 DVD-On-TV Sets!!





$39.99: Every Issue: 1967-2002!!

    Hilarious Episode

    by flickchick85

    The dead clowns (especially the one with stilts), the mime corpse that tried to mime while dead, everything Olive, and Emerson's "LOVE IT." This show is on fire. Don't like how they abandoned the cliffhanger with Ned's dad, though. I mean, I know they'll get to it, but I was expecting something in this episode. Oh well, this show is pure genius, so I'll let it slide.

    A bit draggy

    by jaypeep

    Am I the only one who thought that the main storyline was a bit slow? The parts with Olive and Lilly were great, but way too far and few. The main "mystery" was just not keeping my attention...

    Haven't seen tonight episode...

    by toasterslayer

    ...but I really can't express how much I love this show. Real characters, who I really care for, in a world that is completely unrealistic. It definitely evokes more emotion out of me than any other show currently on the air. Its funny, its deep, its romantic, its compelling. As much as I love my hyper serious shows (LOST, BSG, and to a lesser extent HEROES) its just so nice to have a light hearted show that keeps you coming back week after week.

    You're so right, TOASTERslayer...

    by bob loblaw law blog

    I have to admit it... even the music makes me feel a bit happier, especially when it gets a touch louder and climactic at the very end of an episode. That theme kicks ass.

    I had a horrible thought while watching...

    by the mcpoyle clan

    this show can't survive on a broadcast network. It's probably expensive to make, well written, and polarizing. It is a turn off to those who don't appreciate a certain level of whimsy, even if is well done. My mind did wander to other thoughts when I saw how easily Chuck's wardrobe could have malfunctioned while they were running around the circus at the end.

    "in a world that is completely unrealistic"?

    by newc0253

    by hobocode

    Reminded me why I love the show, despite what I thought was alackluster episode. What was up with Chuck's hair last night. She looked atrocious.

    by darth_nader

    Dammit! Dammit, Dammit, Dammit! How much liquor is stored around that place? Oh, and 'Pigby', brilliant! Also, the through of a crappy circus jut made me laugh the whole time. "I think that human cannonball was meant for us!"

    I thought the preview featured "I'm Father Mulcahy and this is Sister Christian.." But classic just the same. I think Chi McBride and his facial expressions are one of the unsung heroes of this show.And love how this show gives my HDTV a workout week in and week out.

    "It's hard enough being in a relationship where we can't touch, but we improvise, figured out ways around that. I've even built contraptions". I am so turned on right now.

    The producers need to get Olive out of that nun costume

    by inactionman

    and back into her low cut Pie Hole mini dress.

    Kristin Chenoweth is about 90% of why I watch this show.

    The writers should have had Olive hide out at a strip club or a Brazilian Beach.
