Herc’s Seen Saturday’s Last PUSHING DAISIES Ever!!

my GF loves Pushing Daisies by Nuking the Fridge	Jun 13th, 2009 02:44:11 AM
I remember one of the producers was going to continue this show in some way such as novel, comic, or etc. Anybody know for sure?
Comic Book by Incomplete Gamer	Jun 13th, 2009 02:59:56 AM
Herc mentions in his review that the Marvel comic won't come out until the fall. Not sure if they'll do anything beyond that. But this ending makes me sad. I do like that it wraps things up, I just wish there was more time to properly end this fantastic show.

Death to Heroes.

Oh no, the last scene is Digby?? Oh metaphor; oh allegory - kill me now.
DC ,not Marvel by Cotsos	Jun 13th, 2009 04:07:40 AM
I think the comic book series will be published by DC (propably the Wildstorm imprint).
So sad. by theGoldbergV	Jun 13th, 2009 05:22:57 AM
The last episode is great. Not really sure about the hastily produced wrap up at the end though. I'd rather it went out on the game changing cliff-hanger.
This episodes ending is rushed by spooky2k	Jun 13th, 2009 05:23:04 AM
I really enjoyed this episode of pushing daisies but when it came time to end it, they just walloped a bunch of CG and voiceover together. That was my biggest problem with the show - whenever the actors came close to anything that resembled 'meaty acting', we would cut awayto a silent scene with the characters all talking and the announcer would say 'they were all very distraught and eventually talked it through. Next day Ned rose to the sound of...'. I know it's storybook story telling, but TV/FILM is a VISUAL medium. Let the actors show distraught, sadness, loneliness, jealously and love in stead of having someone read out their emotions.
Spoiler warnings!! by buffywrestling	Jun 13th, 2009 06:40:03 AM
I know it has been seen in everwhere but us losers that ABC is throwing a bone to but ... C'MON!! A wee bit of courtesy. The equivalent of holding a door open for a cripple, is all I ask.
Wikipedia says DC comics for the continuation. by raw_bean	Jun 13th, 2009 07:37:19 AM
It was referenced but I didn't check the validity of the reference.
Anna Friel by palimpsest	Jun 13th, 2009 10:26:27 AM
Mmmmmmm. That is all.
"when it came time to end it, they just walloped a bunch of CG a by Mockingbird Girl	Jun 13th, 2009 10:31:47 AM
That's because the ending had to be done in post-production. The episode had already been filmed by the time the cancellation was announced.
I'd like to have.... by DrMorbius	Jun 13th, 2009 12:29:19 PM
Miss Fuentes and Miss Simpson(in her little Duke shorts) bent over in front of me. Then you'd see some real "pushing" Daisies!!!
SHARK! by buffywrestling	Jun 13th, 2009 09:09:45 PM
That was so cool!
Ccon, Nicole Sullivan is a good character actress... by Lenny Nero	Jun 13th, 2009 09:21:48 PM
...but everything Poehler did on Upright Citizens Brigade was worlds funnier than anything Nicole did on Mad TV.
I can sense Herc has a boner as we speak. by mjgtexas	Jun 13th, 2009 09:27:08 PM
Wilson Cruz shirtless.
And Mike McDonald's Stuart originated on Night Stand With Dick D by mjgtexas	Jun 13th, 2009 09:29:50 PM
No, people, no!
So good, so gone, so sad. by Shermdawg	Jun 13th, 2009 10:05:08 PM
Good episode to tack the rushed ending on. Gonna miss this one.
Was I the only one who liked the ending? by Amy Chasing	Jun 13th, 2009 10:54:47 PM
I thought it fit the show fine and was the best they could do given the circumstances. At least they gave it an "ending". Not like Reaper... grumblegrumble...
I like the nod to PeeWee's character in the closing montage. by Shermdawg	Jun 13th, 2009 11:06:21 PM

so good by drave117	Jun 14th, 2009 01:50:42 AM
And so ends my favorite television program of the past decade. They did the best they could with how little time they had to wrap things up. As fitting an end as we could have hoped for, given the circumstances. Now, when that full series box set comes out, tell everyone you know to buy it, and maybe the pie-maker will touch this series and bring it back to life, and hopefully a reality show will die instead.
the ultimate 'fuck you' by abc by I_am_the_ultimate_product	Jun 14th, 2009 04:11:52 AM
Immediately following the premature finale of one of the greatest tv shows ever was an ad for The Batchelorette
Great show by optimus122	Jun 14th, 2009 08:13:49 AM
Seriously , I would love to be alive in a world like the one this show depicts..its just beautiful. I love these characters too..olive and those beautiful big breasts on her tiny body..the pie maker being so tall yet so kind..emerson cod is one funny son of a bitch..anna friel is just sweet as pie..just a great show..losing it stinks..yes that reality show ad during the final credits made me want to barf.
Oh, dwell... by proton45	Jun 14th, 2009 08:25:51 AM
Dwell, oh dwell... The end of another show that was better then the average. Soon tv will just be reality shows and prime time talkshows...what does it mean when CBS is the best network?
"...was an ad for The Batchelorette" by Big Jim	Jun 14th, 2009 10:02:17 AM
That was a very funny ad. When they announced that during the show real couples would propose on the air, I laughed and laughed and laughed. Desperate marketing ploys for reality tv make me giddy; can't wait to see what Joel McHale makes of it on next week's The Soup. If I ever get around to getting a Blu-ray player, Pushing Daisies will be among the first series I buy in that format.
"Where the Himbo?" by Big Jim	Jun 14th, 2009 10:14:23 AM
I loved Chuck's fake surprise-reaction, as well as her joy at seeing her aunts in the reflection of the ladle. Also, Olive's being tough with Cora who was at least a foot taller, and her attempts to duplicate Sid Tango's movements. Too bad they didn't find a reason to have Olive wear the mermaid outfit again.
The Facts Are These... by Atomica	Jun 14th, 2009 10:36:29 AM
I'm truly going to miss this show desperately. Brian Fuller is a mad genius. It sucks dead monkey balls that not enough people enjoyed and watched the show enough to keep it going. And I really enjoyed the last episode. Thanks for my favorite show of the past 1 year, 8 months, 12 days, 13 hours and 36 minutes of my life. ;)
Not the only one by Chaztastic	Jun 14th, 2009 10:52:35 AM
I also liked the way they could end it. At least they attempted to tie up some of the characters story lines as best as possible. Can't wait for the comic book series. Hope it's as well done as Buffy season 8. And who knows, maybe like "Firefly" it will return in some form in the future? We can only hope.
So much funny stuff in this one, Herc.. by DellsDontBounce	Jun 14th, 2009 12:21:38 PM
"Banana hammock" The Darlings' synchronized training when they were at the Pie Hole. Chuck's AWFUL disguise in the control booth. The Sid Tango dance synchronized with the opening/closing shark gate. I'm going to miss this show.
Really? by jsm1978	Jun 14th, 2009 12:34:30 PM
This was a good episode? I have only seen a few episodes of this show and thought it was decent (though the storybook/narrator gimmick was a little grating at times)... but I thought this ep was fairly weak. The cgi... "They say you can't get away with murder, but I did"... Though maybe I'd have enjoyed it more if the sound wasn't screwed up in the broadcast. I don't know if it was just my broadcaster or what, but the dialogue was quiet so I had to turn the volume way up, and then the music would be blaring.
JAM, Daisies is a serialized show... by Lenny Nero	Jun 14th, 2009 02:30:25 PM
...so you should have probably seen more than "a few episodes" to get maximum enjoyment. Also, I had the same sound problem with the episode. Are you Bay Area-based? Otherwise, it would seem to be the episode's fault and not the broadcaster's.
i loved this show by captokyo	Jun 14th, 2009 09:43:21 PM
it made me feel happy :D Goodbye :D
The Bit with the Shark was Priceless by WriteFromLeft	Jun 14th, 2009 10:12:19 PM
When the episode screened at the Cinerama Dome as part of Paleyfest, the audience roared with laughter during the shark scene. I don't think I've heard an audience laugh that hard since Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
Lenny by jsm1978	Jun 15th, 2009 01:25:10 AM
Not bay area, but I am in Cali... central valley, "local" broadcast out of Sacramento.
Fuller is doing Pushing Daisies Season 3 with DC Comics by Squashua	Jun 15th, 2009 01:58:36 PM
Not Marvel. http://tinyurl.com/pdayzee
You just saw this NOW? I saw this episode weeks ago. by minderbinder	Jun 15th, 2009 05:52:01 PM
Why wait for lame ABC to show it when it was aired overseas and posted online over a month ago?
Loved it until the end :( by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 17th, 2009 10:02:36 AM
Felt like they closed it in 5 mins flat. Such a shame :(
