I think that was really Olive singing at the end there which is pretty impresive. She has a pretty good voice.

Tony-winning, album-recording Kristin Chenoweth does, indeed, have a very good voice.

See, I thought you were talking about the post above you in a sarcastic (or not sarcastic) way.

But anyways, I agree to a "wow" for this episode. I liked the different set up of it. How Ned and Olive were together and Chuck and Emerson were together and there wasn't much interaction between the groups. It kind of mixed it up and made feel fresh. It helps that the series' story arc got pushed forward nicely in this episode.
 
This aired last night in Canada and I rewatched again tonight.


Really enjoyed this episode and loving the story progression.
Totally called Dixon being the one Chuck "killed" and was very happy it was indeed just that.

I think ultimately my favourite thing about the episode was the Olive/Muffin Buffalo lady race. :lol
 
Episode with more of a focus on Olive? Check.

Episode where Olive sings? Check.

Episode where Olive steals my heart? Oh, wait, that's every one.

I've rarely attached myself to a show like I have with this one. I'm going to be very upset if I have to wait for a DVD release to see any final episodes.
 
My gawd this episode was just SO GOOD. Full of laughoutloud moments, but even then I keep getting reminded of the series' near end :(
 
Great episode tonight. It's so disappointing to know we're only getting a handful of new episodes after this. I continue to love the focus on a continued story and Olive/Kristen Chenoweth was fantastic and the highlight of the episode. I liked the change of dynamic with Olive and Ned together for the episode, even though it was depressing to see Olive still aching over Ned. These cliffhangers are killing me though, I really hope the final episode doesn't end on a similar note.
 
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS?
This show is so awesome, and yet people would rather watch Secret Millionaire? Retards...

so whats the consensus on this show?

I had planned to watch it back when this thread started but forgot about it

Everybody loves it. It's one of the best shows on TV. (but there's only a few episodes left :( )
 
The problem with the show as a product I think is that it doesn't have an incredibly strong narrative. There is no "hook" in the story to entice people. You either like the style or you don't, and just by virtue of being incredibly different, it's going to turn a lot of people off. I'd like to think that I know what makes good TV, but while I watch the show, it's not one of my favorites. Some people are just looking for specific things in TV shows, and Pushing Daisies exists outside that boundary.
 
I'm watching last nights now. I'm only 8 minutes in and holy crap. "Muffin Buffalo"! Niiice callback to Wonderfalls. Plus having the actress who played the woman in that episode cameo. Genius. And another sad reminder that Bryan Fuller is not destined to create a winner. Not by traditional means at least. Can't he maybe move onto Wheedon-esque internet based miniseries'? They could finally be his success. I just want more Fuller.

Also.. "Just you and me, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye.." :lol :lol :lol

Edit:

"I love sprinkles.. and you love clues! Two great tastes that taste great together!" The way she says that followed by Ned's face is brilliant. :D I am going to miss the Ned/Chuck/Olive love triangle.

"Finger-lickin' Donut Holes..." "Sounds delicious... and dirty."
 
Sadly, Pushing Daisies fans will need to prepare for the worst. According to TV Guide's Mega Buzz, the only big mystery that will be solved by the series' end is that of Emerson's missing daughter. Both Ausiello and Kristin Dos Santos from E! hinted that the Daisies finale will actually end with a cliffhanger or two!

The finale meaning the last one that we see from S2 or the last one on the dvd for S2? There are three spare episodes that won't be broadcast on tv but will be on the dvd.

They're referring to the 13th episode, which won't be seen until DVD.
 
Thanks, memles

Wait... how do we know this?

We're only getting two more on TV. The rest (3 episodes, I think) will go on the S2 dvd.

To add to what Cornballer said, ABC has scheduled specials in the show's timeslot all through January, so there's no chance for the show to air post-Christmas.
 
We're getting closure!

This should do the trick: We're getting closure, dammit! The series finale will no longer end on a cliffhanger, as I previously reported. Through the magic of post-production, Bryan Fuller and his team managed to tack on a completely new beginning and ending to the episode. "We're doing a lot of work in post to shape it so that it is satisfying for the audience," Fuller tells me. BTW, rumor has it ABC may burn off air Daisies' final three episodes on one night in early January. (Episode 9 airs tonight and 10 next week.)

Hmmm, still listed on my TiVo schedule for 8pm tonight here on the West Coast. I guess I'll find out later if it's happening.

I just had a friend turn to ABC and he saw some of the episode, which means it's only my local affiliate airing this fucking evangelical propaganda.

Fuck this. I'm going to call and give them hell tomorrow.
 
Just caught up, legally on ABC.com of course.

What a great show.

Makes sense. They're not going to want to air any episodes of a canceled show after the end of the year. I'll just Netflix the dvds when they come out.

Didnt the last 4 Ad episodes air 2 months after the previous episode?

And the last episode of AD season 1 aired after a 6 week break.

On ABC, they delayed the drew carey shows final season until June.

.....and the post a few above me confirms this.

Set your Tivos for a sad friday night in February.
 
I'm glad I was wrong and that ABC will most likely air the final three eps.

Great one tonight. It was weird to see Shane from Weeds on another show.
 
just finished last weeks episode. what an awesome last 10 minutes. the chemistry between olive and ned is amazing. loved her singing part. and great ending as well! man...why does this have to gooooo whyyyyyy
 
Costanza said:
Watching now.

haha, it's the kid from Weeds

edit: "Not here-here." :lol :lol :lol

I laughed out loud at that "Not here-here" line too. So awesome!

Great episode last night, but then again everyone who actually watches the show already knows how great it is. It's sad that it's going away soon. So many people have no idea what they've missed out on. Too smart and quirky for it's own good.
 
I liked how Olive's raincoat had olives on it and Emerson's had fish. :lol

Also, there wasn't a preview for next week. Was this the last one they're airing?

Should be one more, at least until we hear what ABC wants to do with the final 3.

I missed the last couple of episodes, and I'll plan on catching up when it comes out on DVD, but I have to ask: didn't you guys know this was coming back when the show premiered?

I distinctly remember reading about this show, and watching the pilot, and thinking, "great show, I loved the pilot, I'll love the show...which means it will get canceled after six episodes". So I watched the show without getting invested in it, because I figured it wasn't long for the TV world. And then when the strike happened, I figured that was definitely it for the show.

So I wasn't upset when it got cancelled, because it lasted far longer than I thought it would. And I think ABC gave it a fair shot-although I'll be interested to see what takes its place.

I did think that the first season. I was all expecting the normal TV audience to let me down and not watch the show but... it didn't happen that way. The rating were strong enough for a second season and it got some awards so I was pumped. This year the audeince just vanished and it really bums me out. If there was any show that was truly a victim of the writer's strike, it was Pushing Daisies.
 
I absolutely love this show.
Has some of the best chemistry and character development I have ever seen on TV.

So depressing it has to end.

I didn't catch on to the raincoats right away because I just thought they were whatever. I thought it was cute that she had pies on Ned's coat though, but the fish on Emerson's didn't clue me in, then I spent several minutes trying to figure out what was on Olive's coat.

Then it hit me and I had a good laugh. :lol

I was concerned that there wasn't previews for next week's episode, but if you guys say that there is something schedualed, I will be hopeful. Also glad to see we will be getting closure with the finale. :D
 
Closure is really all I could ask. I was afraid we'd have to wait for a half-assed straight-to-DVD movie like DLM which.. where is that thing anyway? I will still be interested in the comics if they do happen. I hope they choose to show them on TV. But if not, at least they'll be a nice surprise when the Blu-Ray's come out probably late next year. (Hey, let's get them out sooner. And put a lot of extras on them this time.) Just please don't spoil the ending if it gets leaked. I want to be surprised. I don't even want to speculate.

I loved Chuck's little giggle when Olive does her "BUM BUM BUMMM!!!!!". It was adorable and I will miss these characters. :(

I can't wait for next week even if it will be bittersweet. But knowing there will be an ending and not a big opening makes it feel a little better.
 
Well, Dwight's disappearance was tied up nicely; although if a forensic team really got into it, coudln't they tell he died quite a while ago; aka before the credit card charge, aka trouble?

The aunt's interactions made me all teary this episode, they must both be torn up over all this grave robbing stuff.

And I am all for telling Olive everything, again, what another great episode for her - getting deep undercover with the Norwegians and helping the pie friends from the inside.

Ned's dad coming back was a shocker as well. Man, none of this can be wrapped up in the scant few episodes we have left. Why is this show cancelled again?! ;_____;
