Pushing Daisies (Bryan Fuller's latest)

Basq

Cannot wait for this!

Due to it being a creation by the great Bryan Fuller, i expect ABC to give it a full 4 episodes before it getting the chop!

Looks so surreal, bright, different and fantastic!

The trailer has a very motion-picture feel to it so it'll be interesting to see how it transcends to a weekly TV show format.

Yep.. it's got the saturated brightness of Burton's 'Willy Wonka..' / 'Big Fish' during the child-hood scenes. I love it!

About time we got something new from Bryan Fuller too - but he did write my favourite episode of 'Heroes' last year ('Company Man').

I'm hoping ABC gives him a chance - as Showtime gave 'Dead Like Me' 2 seasons (though he didn't stay involved with 'Dead Like Me' nearly that long) but 'Wonderfalls' only got 4 episodes aired by Fox (shocker, eh? Fox cancelling stuff so early and all! :rolleyes:)

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that the pilot has been seen by a lot of critics and has created nothing but positive reviews, so i'm waiting with baited breath for it:

Early critical acclaim

The unaired pilot has been, so far, well-received by critics who have been able to screen it. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello claimed that "ABC has found its next Lost!" upon review and the series has also been touted as "the fall show with the most spring buzz" by many, not least of all by renowned entertainment trade publication, Variety. New York Magazine also provided it with a rave review, calling it "funny, imaginative and smart" whilst also claiming it "boasts Gilmore Girls-speed wit".

Looks far too polished and good for mainstream TV but buzz-worthy enough to last a bit. I see Basquille's 4 episode run and raise him to 6.

Seriously though, very interesting looking.

Hrmph... i'm guessing you probably saw Bryan Fuller's credits for 6 episodes of it on IMDb already (presuming at least 6 episodes are in the can so).

Touché Mr Ixoy.... touché!!

Brilliant, i've been looking forward to this since the previews were released.
I loved Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls but i got my heart broken when they got canned. Hopefully a mainstream network will finally give a surreal kooky show a chance.
There is an audience for this type of show maybe this time they will get the ratings they hope for as long as its not up against an already established show. Any ideas where it fits in the schedule?

I have to say the first 30 or so seconds of the trailer just looked ****e to me really but as it got going I saw alot of the similar Dead Like Me charm and humour that I miss since that show finished and I already think the main relationship between the lead guy and Anna Friel looks really enthralling. I'm hoping this lives up to the expectations because it could be amazing.
