‘Snook!!’ Herc’s Seen Saturday's All-New PUSHING DAISIES!!

I am – Hercules!!



The facts are these.

There are three completed episodes of “Pushing Daisies” never before broadcast in the United States.

ABC starts airing them Saturday night.

Those episodes, along with the balance of season two, will also become available on DVD and Blu-ray July 21.

During tonight’s installment, there’s much talk of Clark Kent and Kal-El. The barely recognizable Richard Benjamin and George Segal, both sporting odd facial hair, play escaped convicts. The relentlessly hot Constance Zimmer plays Coco Juniper, a window dresser with a porn-star name. There’s a hilariously grisly secondary death. And Kristin Chenoweth is assigned another showstopper of a 1980s pop ballad:


“newc0253” offers a short review of the Olive-centric 2.11:

What’s it called?
“Window Dressed To Kill”

What says ITV?
“The team take on the case of a famed window dresser Erin Embry, who may or may not have been done in by her partner. However, Ned discovers he's unable to help when his life-restoring ability fizzles out on him. Meanwhile, Lily and Vivian receive visitors.”

Ned’s lost his powers?
No, the episode recap is flat-out wrong. Ned is simply unwilling to help, having foresworn using his powers. He is focusing on being, in his words, Clark Kent.

What else does the ITV recap miss out?
With Ned sticking to being an ordinary piemaker, Chuck becomes Cod’s new sidekick in solving the department store murder mystery. Also, Olive’s childhood kidnappers return for apparent revenge.

Any other developments?
Ned declares his love for someone not named Chuck. The return of David Arquette as Randy Mann. Plus a brief appearance by the Sisters of the Divine Magnatum.

So who visits Lily and Vivian?
Ned and Olive and some alleged kidnappers.

What’s good?
The Olive-centric nature of the story, including Olive’s book on double negatives, Olive hanging from a giant cherry and Olive doing another musical number, this time Lionel Ritchie. “That would make me your sidekick”. “And to a lesser extent Coco”. Randy Mann’s Clark Kent monologue. Ned’s decision. More reverse taxidermy.

What’s not so good?
After this episode, only two left. One fears that there may not be enough time to wrap up the main story properly, especially if they keep to the ‘murder of the week’ format.

How does it end?
With Ned’s sudden recognition of his own jealousy.

9 p.m. Saturday. ABC.


“From The Earth To The Moon,” the entire extra-packed signature edition, has fallen to its lowest price ever: $11.99!! People were paying $49 for this set last year.
