The facts are these:There once was a piemaker who could raise the dead with a touch — but only for sixty seconds, or else someone else would have to die to take their place. If he touched the resurrected person again, they died permanently. One day, the piemaker was given the opportunity to raise Chuck, his childhood sweetheart... So he did. This act brought the two much closer, but tragically kept them apart; one more touch would mean Chuck would be dead forever. Along with his alive again dog, a grumpy private eye, Chuck's eccentric aunts and a singing waitress, they solved murders, asking the dead who their murderers were in those sixty seconds and then collecting the often substantial reward for finding the killers.That could be the premise of Pushing Daisies if it weren't a laughably inadequate description.Created by Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me creator Bryan Fuller, and set in a world lavishly decorated in Fifties styles, the show effortlessly makes its faintly ridiculous plots believable, as it deftly traces the line between earnestness and irony. Its fast-paced and witty dialogue, quirky characters, and great acting really bring out what can only be called the heart of the show: showing how people connect — or don't connect — with their fellow humans.Unfortunately, it ended up doomed to live up to its name. The first season was truncated by the 2007 TV Strikes, and the second season didn't have much of a head of steam under it. The writing team was given 3 episodes to wrap up the series, and the last episode was aired on June 13, 2009 - one year, eight months, one week and three days after the first. The two seasons together make up a normal full-sized season.Recaps page is here.

comment
That Reminds Me of a Song: With Broadway actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Ellen Greene in the cast, it was inevitable. Unfortunately, Olive was provided a missed love connection in the person of one Broadway veteran Raul Esparza, who... well, would a duet been too much to ask for? File his song-less appearances on the show along with that of Christopher Seiber.

Clown Car: A number of clowns were driving away from the circus when they were forced off the road and into the lake. When their car is dragged up and the police start pulling the bodies out, it starts out with only one clown...and then another one is pulled out and another one and another one (including a clown wearing stilts), and they just keep coming.

Stealth Pun: Usually Subverted, in that the narrator does not spare himself the joy of actually making the pun. For example, in "The Smell of Success" Ned dredges up a sock from the sink in the kitchen of the Pie Hole. By the reactions of Chuck, Olive, and Emerson, its smell is most unpleasant.

Chekhov's Gun

comment
Chekhov's Gun: "Circus Circus" has Chekhov's Cannon. A dwarf with a cannon happens to pass by when Ned and Emerson are at the ringmaster's trailer... then, later in the episode, the human cannonball gets fired at them. Charles Charles' pocket watch also applies. It was shown in the very first episode, and cropped up again when Lawrence Schatz stole it note the funeral director revealed to be running a grave robbing racket in S01E03, and then became relevant again come Season 2. Emerson Cod's revolver also applies; throughout the show it is used only to wave around, but it finally gets fired in "S02E07: Robbing Hood" when he destroys an escape rope. It's even noted by Cod:

Aborted Arc
 Pushing Daisies / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: When the first season was cut short due to the Writer's Strike, most of the plot threads set up during the first half received abrupt Ass Pull resolutions. When the second season suffered a similar fate upon the show's cancellation, most lingering threads were simply left hanging, though a choice few received mention in a Ass Pull epilogue. Sadly, the two half seasons do not equal a whole in terms of story.

Bilingual Bonus: In "Dim Sum Lose Sum", the spoken Chinese is all real. except for adding details about the speakeasy, Chuck's translation is nearly verbatim. The sign in Emerson's window, supposedly for his PI business, is actually for a restaurant across from the firm that specializes in pork ribs. Because it is a sign from another business visible in Emerson's office, it is readable from inside the office instead of backwards as a sign for the PI firm would be from inside the building.

Cursed with Awesome
 Pushing Daisies / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: Ned can revive the dead with a touch, and has used that power to revive his dog and later his childhood sweetheart, make lots of money investigating murders, and open a thriving bakery by using old, rotted fruit in his pies (since it becomes fresh-off-the-vine as soon as he touches it). And as a result, he can't touch the woman he loves lest she drop dead instantly, ditto his beloved pet, and if he ever eats any of his pies the fruit will wither and rot in his mouth. Although, if he ever wanted to make a pie for himself, he could get around the whole rotting-in-his-mouth problem by actually using fresh ingredients, which he does later in the series. His second revival was his mother whose lingering caused the death of Chuck's father and then she promptly died when she kissed him good night.

Establishing Series Moment: The very first scene of the show is of young Ned and Digby running playfully through a gorgeous field of flowers until Digby abruptly gets run over by a truck and Ned resurrects him. This instantly establishes both the premise of the series and its signature mix of storybook whimsy and morbid humor.

Sound-Effect Bleep: in "Circus Circus", Ned repeats the secretary's description of the head clown as a "real low-down, dirty _____________" just as a circus performer walks by breathing fire, the flames both drowning Ned out and preventing viewers from reading his lips. When the flames clear, Emerson says "I've never heard you say those words." in "Bad Habits", a revived nun swears a blue streak, conveniently drowned out by a church bell.

All Germans Are Nazis
 Pushing Daisies / int_7089d02e
comment
All Germans Are Nazis: Invoked and subverted twice. In "Bad Habits", a threatening guy with an accent, thought to be an 'Angry German' by Emerson Cod, was actually Swiss (and non-threatening). In "Comfort Food" was the Waffle Nazi, who appeared with full Lederhosen get-up, Gratuitous German, speech patterns, and threatening personality - only for it to be revealed as fake: he is neither German nor actually speaks the language, but is putting on a show.

And the Adventure Continues
 Pushing Daisies / int_716c0b1b
comment
And the Adventure Continues: Due to the sudden cancelling of the show, numerous plot threads were either abruptly tied or left hanging. By its finalé, Series 2 ends with: Vivian discovering what occurred between Charles and Lily, Chuck revealing herself to Lily and Vivian, Ned and Chuck still continuing their relationship, Emerson getting "Lil Gumshoe" published and presumably finding Penny, and Olive staying with Randy Mann and going on to start her own novelty restaurant.

Smells of Death: One episode introduces a man obsessed with scents and odors, and he instantly takes an interest in Chuck and Digby, Ned's girlfriend and dog respectively that he brought back to life with his magic touch. He can smell that there's something off about them and wants to know what, as there's not much that he can't normally suss out through smell.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The S2 episode "Robbing Hood" erroneously claims that the Latin phrase "orbis pro vox" translates as "ring for rights" (as in, "ring bells for rights"), when it can at best be translated as "a voice for the deprived".note And even that translation is only possible by ignoring the word order and taking "orbis" as the ablative plural of a fairly obscure adjective ("orbus") rather than its much more common noun meaning of "sphere".

Ridiculously Alive Undead: While Ned doesn't think "undead" is the best descriptor, those brought back by his power do fall under this trope. Any being Ned brings back to life appears to be no different from the way they were before they died, unless they sustained a gruesome injury or have significantly rotted. They can eat, drink, get hurt, etc. They don't appear to age, and to the trained nose they smell of death, but that's about it.

Foreshadowing: In "The Smell of Success" Aunt Lily mentions a sweater that belonged to Charlotte's mother. The narrator mentions that this made her go to "her dark place." The moment is framed such that it appears Chuck's aunt simply misses her niece. But a later episode reveals that Aunt Lily is Chuck's mother. In the first episode, Lily mentions that Chuck used to threaten to bake anti-depressants into their food in order to cheer them up. Come episode two...

Leitmotif
 Pushing Daisies / int_9f6fb586
comment
Leitmotif: The love theme, which is somewhat the theme of the entire series. Emerson Cod's theme, which is a noir-esque jazz piece with vibraphone and finger snapping. Olive Snook's Sexophone theme. In the season two opener, "Bzzzzzzz!" a cheerfully tango-ized variation of "Flight of the Bumblebee" threads under and through the rest of the background music. Arrangements of "Ave Maria" appear in convent scenes fairly often.

Sugar Bowl: The Pushing Daisies world is brightly coloured, full of pies, tender sweet moments, coy glances, happy honeybees, whimsy, and little charming gestures. This offsets the bizarre murders, morbid humor, and unflinching examinations of personal responsibility and morality.

Homage
 Pushing Daisies / int_a1a1491e
comment
Homage: Exactly how much this show owes to the classic French film Amélie varies from "it's the writer's favourite film, there's bound to be some similarities" to "attempted shot-for-shot remake". Also see the homage to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds in "Bitter Sweets". As well as the Hitchcock references in "Bitches", culminating with Emerson's dream homage to Vertigo. In some episodes Chuck's fashion style is a clear tribute to Audrey Hepburn. A lot of scenes are shot in style of a Film Noir with the window shades casting shadows over the characters' faces, most notably in "Girth", "Bitches", and "Bad Habits" when Olive goes to hire Emerson.

City with No Name: The city where the main action takes place is never named, though we do know that it's in (fictitious) Papen County, 131 miles due north of Coeur d'Coeurs (Ned and Chuck's equally fictitious hometown). Information on placing Papen County in a US state or region is internally inconsistent. Ned's apartment building, though, is "played" by the famous Bradbury Building in Los Angeles.

Obfuscating Disability: In a season 2 episode we see a brief flashback to Emerson Cod's childhood. His mother faked putting him in danger to expose a man who had made fraudulent insurance claims. She pushed a stroller with a baby doll in it down a flight of stairs- the allegedly wheelchair-bound man with a neckbrace and a broken arm ran from his wheelchair to catch the baby with both hands.

Film Noir: The show's aesthetic draws pretty heavily on the Film Noir, particularly Emerson's office, the clipped, rapid-fire dialogue, and a good portion of "Dim-Sum Lose Some". Also, several film noir classics can be seen playing in the background in a few scenes of "Corpsicle".

Came Back Wrong: All of the bodies of the people Ned brings back to life remain as they were when he touched them. This is not always pleasant to watch. Interestingly, this doesn't seem to apply to the fruits Ned resurrects. One explanation or rationalization could be that Ned's powers can reverse/heal the effects of time or death by "natural" causes but can't reverse physical trauma.

Idiosyncratic Wipes
 Pushing Daisies / int_bdc0a18e
comment
Idiosyncratic Wipes: Often an Iris Out. These were once extremely common, especially in cinema, but they look old-fashioned or even slightly cheesy to modern eyes, which are used to more unobtrusive scene wipes. (Therefore, perfectly suited to the show's theme of retro charm.). In "Oh Oh Oh—It's Magic", some of the scene transitions are curtains opening and closing. "Robbing Hood" uses an animated bell for some of its scene transitions. "Window Dressed To Kill" uses slide-close doors. "Kerplunk" used shark jaws.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome

comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Alfredo Aldarisio. Initially a love interest for Olive, he eventually fixes the espresso machine for her and attempts to catch her eye to no avail. Later on in the series, he then simply disappears with minimal explanation and the Alfredo/Olive subplot is dropped, only returning when Olive is quickly paired with Randy Mann when the show suddenly ended. Justified, in that Alfredo's last appearance is in an episode where he is Put on a Bus, and Olive realizes she loved him too late.

Unbelievable Source Plot
 Pushing Daisies / int_c6dd74c5
comment
Unbelievable Source Plot: Subverted because the investigator is on the inside and therefore knows the secret. The protagonist can bring the dead to life for a minute and interview them about their death. Sometimes, it feels like they still have to lie all the time to others about why they know so much. Not *quite* a paradigmatic example, but still showcases the endless lies necessary to cover their secret investigative trick.

Shout-Out
 Pushing Daisies / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Follow the yellow thick hose!" Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds Emerson describes a character as going Blood Simple. The Godfather Part II: "I knew it was you, Fredo." Happy Time Temp Agency The Sound of Music Father Dowling Mysteries M*A*S*H Hamlet: "What got thee to a nunnery?" Sister Christian "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy" is larded with shout outs to the 1977 Disney movie Pete's Dragon (1977). The movie had starred Pushing Daisies' narrator Jim Dale. Superman: The Movie Vertigo: in "Bitches" "You want to walk down together?" "That'd be swell, Harvey." They Might Be Giants : Olive makes a metaphor about "a birdcage in your soul" and sings Birdhouse In Your Soul not long after in the same episode. "I'm channeling fear into anger." "Anger leads to hate." "And hate leads to stress baking." "Magicians?" "Illusionists!" Emerson describes Chuck as happy-Golightly. A 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' example appears in episode 3, when Alfredo Aldarisio is imagining the atmosphere leaving the earth and sucking him out into space while destroying the earth, you can see a yellow bulldozer driving by outside. Another 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' example appears in "The Norwegians" — the charcoal sketch of Dwight Dixon Vivian gives to Emerson has Dwight posed like Rose in Titanic (1997) (complete with his pocket watch around his neck like Rose's sapphire necklace).

The Nicknamer: Emerson has a nickname for every character, every episode. Especially so when you consider he calls even calls pre-nicknamed characters by his own terms; despite Charlotte Charles understandably being called "Chuck", Emerson instead opts for "Dead Girl".

No Full Name Given: If Ned has a last name, we haven't yet learned it.

(A charlotte is a French dessert: a "crust" made of ladyfinger cookies enclosing a mousse of some sort. Her nickname, "Chuck", can also refer to a cut of beef.) Also, both Snook and Cod are types of fish.

comment
Cut Short: The finale is a mad rush to try to tie up several of the loose ends, and misses a few in the process. We never did find out what happened to Charles Charles or meet Ned's dad beyond a five second shot at the end of one episode. He was going to be played by George Hamilton.
