Pushing Daisies 12/3: Comfort Food

ABC isn’t promoting the show on their website anymore, the bastards.

Ned and Olive compete in a Comfort Food Cook-Off!

Everyone click on the link…maybe some webdude at ABC will track back here and find out how popular the show is and tell the programmingdude not to cancel it.

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

I clicked. I’ll dream along with you.

Really enjoyed this episode. Even my husband wandered in while it was on and stayed to see the end.

Chuck did a bad, bad thing, though! And Kristen–not sure of spelling–my, can she sing!

I didn’t see last week’s episode or the pre-views, so for some reason when I read that Ned and Olive compete in a Comfort Food Cook-Off, I thought they would compete AGAINST each other. Which didn’t make sense, because I don’t know if Olive can cook, but . . .

I liked the way this episode developed their relationship, even if it seems like Olive isn’t as over Ned as she’d like to believe.

I liked Emerson’s question about whether this was a friend thing or a money thing.

Oh great just what I needed. Now I am reading through the Papen County Picayune.

Yet another good episode. I find myself growing sad with each episode knowing we are nearing the end. I keep hoping that some last minute reprieve will occur or that some other station will pick it up and promote it.

This episode was a bit gruesome with the dead father and the Colonel finding himself delicious.

Now will we ever find out what the watches were about?

Excellent episode! Much better than last week. Good mystery, hilarious death, lots of fun with Chuck and her Dad.

That Eternal Flame bit at the end was hilarious.

I’m sooo gonna miss this show.

Just another great episode.

My ribs hurt when Chuck threw dirt on the talking corpse - and my heart skipped a beat when they were searching the cemetary - was afraid they might find Lily.

And I laughed/cried during the final song.

The facts are these - ABC done screwed up.

I really thought it was going to be Lily and some complicated plot would play out where Dwight Dixon would end up dead when Lily was brought back to life.

This was the first time someone Ned reanimated has ever commented on what death’s like.

It’s like gliding. Chuck apparently wasn’t dead long enough to feel this.

So what now for Chuck’s father? He’s a decayed corpse, not a fresh body like Chuck. Will he end up asking Ned to touch him again?

Great episode for Olive; she is awesome. It was good to see her wearing the blue ribbon after her Plan B pie won the Cook-off.

I loved the outfits the contestants wore. Did anyone else notice the guy with the big ice cream cone stuck on top of his head? And the pizza people? I saw some pilgrims, too, but I don’t know what they were peddling.

And the Eternal Flame number was quite touching.

If you happened to buy/rent the season DVD of Wonderfalls, the Muffin Buffalo lady should look familiar. Beth Grant played the same character on a couple of episodes of that show. She was Jaye’s neighbor at the trailer park.

Loved this episode. Advanced the plot, added a couple of new elements, and Kristin sang! What I thought this show needed more of…

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pie?

…boobs? Because Olive gave that in abundance.

(She does nothing for me sexually, but you can’t not notice her tops.)

I wonder why, when Ned touches dead, shriveled, rotten fruit it returns to a fresh, perfect, fully ripe state, but humans don’t?

And we got a glimpse of the plastic apparatus that Ned and Chuck use to get close to each other- although, in addition to the arm sleeve, I would have a smaller one a little further down!

I loved this episode. It advanced the storyline, we see that Olive (my goodness, she wasn’t shy about cleavage, was she?) is still not quite over Ned, and Chuck used Ned but maybe it worked out okay because Dwight was the one who died.

I loved Emerson’s “Hell yes I’m mad furious red hot upset with you and I’ll yell at you more later” line. And you could tell he was missing his daughter.

I wonder if Vivian will think Lily killed Dwight instead of just chasing him off?

We also found out that it wasn’t the watches that were the problem but the insurance policy, and as long as they didn’t say anything, Dwight wouldn’t. :confused:

I heard they were going to end on a cliffhanger. Does anyone in the industry (Elenfair?) have access to Bryan Fuller or any info on if there’s going to be a movie?

Bumbershoot, I noticed the outfits at the Cook-Off too. The attention to detail in this show just blows me away. Did anyone notice in addition to the blue ribbon, Olive and Ned also won $10,000?

“Can the crap and sell it to the tourists!” :smiley:

I clicked too.

Upon watching last night’s episode, I had but a single thought.

Ned is an idiot.

I don’t mean because of the way he investigates, or runs his business, or anything else. But how can you be heterosexual, male, and have Olive in love with you, and NOT reciprocate?

She makes me all tingly, and not just in the nether regions…

The dead, shriveled fruit hasn’t been embalmed–i.e., chemically in a way to retard putrefaction in an insane and idiotic attempt to deny that death is the final emperor. Also, Ned’s power is not absolute; otherwise how could he eat?
