Pushing Daisies

It's only 1/2 over, and I LOVE it. The cast, the clever writing, the premise, I LOVE IT. Even if sister Kristin Chenoweth weren't in it . . .

I loved this show! It reminded me a lot of Tim Burton for some reason. Definitely going to be watching the rest of the season.

I think someone was watching six feet under and was inspired.

I got more of a "Big Fish" vibe from it than "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Definitely Tim Burton lite.

THAT'S IT -"Big Fish" - I knew it was reminding me of something, but couldn't put my finger on it.

I thought it was also very reminiscent of Limminy Snickets (I'm sure I spelled that wrong, but hopefully you know what I mean anyway).

I liked the show, but I'm wondering if the premise lends itself more to a movie than a weekly show; I just think it might get old after a while.

Ok..how about we all agree to this:

The colors and scenery of a Tim Burton flick

The quirkiness of Big Fish and Lemony Snickets

The premise of 6 Feet Under....

and..........what did I miss?

^^^ I think we can add (or, at least, I would) a very Danny Elfman-like score. I remember watching the credits to find out who did the music, but I don't remember the guy's name. It wasn't anyone I had heard of before.
