			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/stories/tvshows/pushingdaisies.jpg" align="left" title="Pushing Daisies Does It Again" alt="pushingdaisies Pushing Daisies Does It Again" />I was completely delighted to see that <em>Pushing Daisies </em>managed to keep the freshness alive in the second week.<span id="more-78"></span>  I have started to feel nervous whenever Ned and Chuck are standing next to each other.  We know that they won&#8217;t <em>kill</em> off Chuck anytime soon, but they really create the tension.  The surreal environment that they have created allows the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief" target="_blank">leap</a> that you need to take to enjoy the show.</p>
<p>Again, the narration adds so much enjoyment to the show, and keeps the whimsical atmosphere that I enjoyed in the <em>Pie-lette</em>.   The dandelion car, at first, seemed a little much but almost immediately fit into the world of <em>Daisies</em>.  Here was an episode that was completely on par with the first.  Guest star <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0264579/" target="_blank">Patrick Fabian</a> was excellent as the car company president.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really pulling for <em>Daisies</em>.  It is great to have such a well crafted show that doesn&#8217;t need to be dissected (i.e. <em>Heroes/Lost</em>).  I finally realized that the show was created by <a href='http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0298188/' target="_blank">Bryan Fuller</a> who created one of my favorite <i>canceled</i> shows <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006GAO18/metatainment-20" target="_blank">Wonderfalls</a>.  This show definitely has the same style, but was implemented better.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait for next week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/stories/tvshows/pushingdaisies.jpg" alt="pushingdaisies Pushing Daisies...wow" align="left" hspace="2" vspace="2" title="Pushing Daisies...wow" />The <em>Pushing Daisies</em> pilot was the best 40 minutes of television that I can remember seeing.  It was so good it could have been a theatrical movie. <!-- more -->  It looked beautiful.  It was acted and directed beautifully.  It was extremely entertaining.  The <em>Suess&#8217;ian</em> voice-over would normally be annoying in a prime-time show, but in the case of <em>Daisies</em>, it was perfect.  From the very first minute, I was completely engaged in the show.  After only one episode, I feel like I&#8217;ve known these characters forever.</p>
<p>For those who have not seen <em>Daisies</em> (shame on you), it will remind you of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Big-Fish-Ewan-McGregor/dp/B0001GOH6Q/metatainment-20">Big Fish</a> and possibly <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stardust/dp/B00005JPQL/metatainment-20" target="_blank">Stardust</a>.  Though not a fairytale, the tone is very much a fairytale.  Kind of like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Chocolate-Factory-Widescreen-Johnny/dp/B000BB1MI2/metatainment-20" target="_blank">Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</a>.</p>
<p>I really hope that they can keep the freshness of this show throughout the season.  I have never been this engaged in a show after only one episode.  It is just amazing.</p>
