Pushing Daisies Archives

Peep the new season 2 promos for the fanciful ABC drama Pushing Daisies — Lee Pace as Ned, Anna Friel as Chuck, Chi McBride as Emerson, Ellen Greene as Vivian, Swoosie Kurtz as Lily and Kristin Chenoweth as Olive. Obviously, the main pic is an homage to the Sistine Chapel, where God’s right arm is outstretched to impart life from his own finger into that of Adam, whose left arm is extended in a pose mirroring God’s.

Pushing Daisies picked up an incredible 12 Emmy nominations. In the major acting categories, both Lee and Kristin were nominated. The Emmy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2008.

Watch the teaser trailer for the upcoming season below! Pushing Daises comes back to life this fall–the season premiere airs on Wednesday, Octpber 1 at @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

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?
