Pushing Daisies 12/10: The Legend of Merle McQuoddy

Someone from the past shows up, and Emerson and Olive investigate the mysterious death of a lighthouse keeper.

Hee…Olive and Emerson. They should give out Emmys for Best Acting in a Drama Series by a Duo.

There’s a push to get AMC to pick up Pushing Daisies. FWIW…

I saw Chi McBride on Craig Ferguson the other night. I think he was trying not to be too upset, he talked about having to learn to knit for the role but all he could knit would be a really long scarf. Why didn’t we see these guys all over the place promoting the show? I’ve only seen Kristen C on talk shows and she’s usually on there to promote other things. I don’t know if moving it to AMC would keep all the actors on board. I would love to see it saved but not if it means losing any of the cast.

Stupid ABC!

Billy Graham Christmas Special?

*Billy Graham Christmas Special?

My ABC affiliate is pre-empting Pushing Daisies for a BILLY GRAHAM CHRISTMAS SPECIAL?

I am at a loss. Please tell me where I can catch the show! Does ABC still offer it online?

Someone is going to get a very stern phone call at WFTV.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Hey, the way Billy Graham’s been looking, he’ll be eligible as the special guest corpse on the show before too long.

Yes, usually the next day.

For those who were disturbed by the lack of previews, don’t despair! According to IMDB, there is an episode next week at the usual time.

I really hope this thing with Chuck’s dad get’s resolved before the last episode.

I just found this article, which says ABC will show 3 more episodes (in addition to next week’s show)- date & time to be announced.

Spoiler box for ivylass’s benefit:

If I was Ned, I would have touched Charles Charles during the fight in the Pie Hole.

I hope so, but they do tend to resolve storylines quickly (and create new ones).

Did everyone catch the pattens on the raincoats Olive bought? :slight_smile:

That’s what I was afraid Charles Charles was planning on doing deliberately, hoping that Chuck would think Ned did it on purpose and get far away from him. I kind of liked Mr. Charles better dead, actually.

Heh! Yep! Olives for Olive, pies for the Piemaker, and cods for Cod.

I loved the dynamic with Emerson and Olive tonight.

Emerson & Olive do make a great team, don’t they?

I wonder why Charles Charles wears the bandages even when he’s alone with Chuck? She saw him without them when Ned first brought him back, I don’t think she’s repulsed by the sight of him.

Because Charles has “dead-face” (or something similar)–he’s been underground for 30 years–the ultimate skin-condition. Yuck.

You can see a little of it under his bandages–his face looks gritty and leathery.

File this under “Questions we’ll probably never know the answer to”:

Do revivified people need to eat or drink or…well, poop? Because while I’m sure that it wouldn’t be all that difficult for short-time deaders like Chuck and Digby to actually perform those biological functions after being…refunctioned…but I can’t see a whole lot of Daddy Charles’s insides having the structural integrity to make that work…

Loved the raincoats and the Olive/Emerson team–especially the chest bump, the “Aw HELL NO” in unison, and Olive talking like Emerson while sitting in his chair and talking to the diorama lady.

I have that exact same clown that Lily shot in the closet! (Had, actually, it lives at my grandma’s house now because I feel pretty much the same way about clowns as Lily does.)

Merle McQuoddy was played by Dwight, wasn’t he?

When the acapella group started singing “Candle on the Water”, I almost ran to get my daughter. I’ve never gotten her to watch the show, but at least a couple of times during each episode, I think, “Damn! She would love this!”

Can we all resolve that there should be a law passed such that any show on which Kristen Chenoweth appears, she will be required to sing at least one number per 30 minute segment?

:wink:

At a minimum.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the sound of a car crash while Ned and Chuck watched CC drive away?

As for the question reguarding re-vivification - Charles Charles other major muscle groups seem to be in good order - its reasonalbe to assume that his internals are just fine as well.

Even as I was typing that question, I was thinking that he seems very robust for a 20-year corpse.
