Older‘Pushing Daises’ is a Ratings Success!
Daises bloomed during last night’s premiere, pulling in a hefty 12.83 million viewers.
It’s the third strongest premiere of any show this season behind Bionic Woman and Private Practice. According to TV Guide, Deal or No Deal placed second (with 11 mil), followed by Kid Nation (7.5 mil, down another 110 thou) and Fox’s sitcombo of Back to You (6.58 mil, down a mil) and ‘Til Death (holding steady with 6.22 mil). Top Model (4.52 mil) dropped another 330K.
Pushing Daises is fun fun fun with its fanciful storytelling style and whimsical originality. It reminded me a bit of Ugly Betty with the transitions, which is a plus!
The lead actor, Lee Pace, reminds me of Chuck’s Zachary Levi, who reminds me of The Office’s John Krasinski. Geek is in, guys! And it all ties together since Ned’s love interest’s name is Chuck too!
WHAT DID YOU THINK of the “Pushing Daises” premiere? Will you watch next week?

I loved it. The narration and the scenes in the beginning for some reason reminded me somewhat of a mini Tim Burton film.
When they “held hands” at the end, it was the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen on tv.
I loved, loved, loved, it! I wasn’t sure if the premiere was going to live up to all of the hype but it ended up being a spectacular show! It was smart, witty, funny, creative, sweet - it was just a really fun show to watch.
Sorry I didn’t watch it, but maybe I’ll check it out. Just for you JJ :)
I kept turning back and forth between top model and pushing daises. From what I saw it looks like a good show. I am going to watch it tomorrow online.
Everyone should watch this, especially those of us who are into the more whimsical side of life! It was brilliant, totally brilliant. Reminded me a bit of Lemony Snicket with all the narration and such. And I agree, the part where they were holding hands was so, so sweet.
It’s a definite MUST WATCH!!! I looooooooooooved it!!
There’s nothing on tv like it.. if you guys haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do =)
I’m from the UK and haven’t seen no negative comments about it yet. Can’t wait to see it!
It was great very lemony snickett/amelie/ tim burtonish ….but the narrator has got to go.
One of the BEST pilots I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
I enjoyed it but think it will be too quirky for a mass audience & harder to sustain in the long run. The novelty value will quickly wear off as will the viewing figures. Would like to be proved wrong though !
LOVE IT! I think I’m falling in love w/ Ned :)
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
I LOVED it. Could not look away. The best new show on television since . . . . . . Could be the most unusual show ever. Beautifully cast. And their holding hands at the end was the most romantic thing I have ever seen on TV. The way they unfolded the premise was outstanding. It could have been very confusing, but it wasn’t. The show started with a boy’s dog being killed. It had me at hello. What a way to start a series. I caught it at the last minute, and didn’t record it. My only regret.
LOVE IT!LOVE IT!LOVE IT! Its the best new show that i’ve seen, and yes i’m going to watch next week. Reminds me of a series of unfourtnate events……………and Lee Pace is pretty cute in a different weird kinda way.
I liked it because I’ve never seen a story/plot line quite like this one. I’ll watch again. Usually pilots suck and the show gets better as it goes on, but this pilot was acutally entertaining…excited to see where it goes from here! Ned is a cutie!!!!
The best new show of the seaso! Like a Dr. Seuss tale for adults. Loved the actors, the narration, the premise. Smart, fun and absolutely adorable.
Great show. Lee Pace was also wonderful on the short-lived but terrific Wonderfalls, which was also created by Bryan Fuller. Loved the acting, the chemistry, the writing - definitely lived up to the hype. And how sweet was Ned when he sheepishly says “That’s from me” regarding the hug given to Chuck by his partner?! Love it!
LOVED pushing daisies! :) best new series this season!
I have a new favorite show! I could watch this forever. :)
Great show. Beautiful visuals and lots of fun. Most of all I thought the all the lead characters, especially Lee Pace, are totally likeable. Very romantic how they can’t touch. I can’t wait to see the next episode.
Best new show!!!Very unusual and entertaining.Will watch!!
I love this show…the best of the new season. I’m totally liking the chemistry between Ned/Chuck and Ned/Emerson. Can’t wait to see future episodes now.
so gonna continue watching!!!!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT!!! Will watch again and again!!!
