FAQ

I saw Ned touch Emerson/Olive. Why didn't he/she die?
If, when Ned touches them, strawberries cease to be rotten, but the guy who got mauled by his secretary's dog was still mauled?
I am absolutely in love with the background music of the show. Who is the composer and is there a soundtrack?

Author: (estebanwoods) from United States

I do give Pushing Daisies some props for attempting to do something original. I really do. It would be nice if creativity was more the order of the day on network television rather than endless clones of few and far between hits and endless brainless reality shows.

However, this show tries so hard to appear original, it fail to deliver any actual originality.

Unlike Bryan Fuller's first efforts, Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies is ponderous, poorly written, unfunny and generally overwrought to the point of being offensive.

"Look how creative we are" is what each scene seems to be screaming at the audience.

I don't know what happened or who is to blame. If ABC executives wrought the creativity out of this show too, or if Barry Sonnenfeld became so intent on getting critics and award givers to be impressed (don't worry Barry, they will be - the marketing campaign took care of that!) or if Bryan Fuller has reached the end of his creative rope, but the result is as stale and annoying as it comes.

It's rather disappointing that a show purporting to be all about creativity has so little.
