ABC has struck gold with their new fall show PUSHING DAISIES which hands down had my jaw on the floor, my tongue in my lap, and my undies a little wet for the entire hour long pilot! It’s that good folks, trust me!
Creator Bryan Fuller, one of the masterminds behind the 13 hours of perfection known as WONDERFALLS, has created a whimsical fairy tale of tragedy and love, destiny, dead bodies, detective work, and a pie shop.
It’s one of the best hours of television I’ve seen since the premiere of Twin Peaks in 1990, My So Called Life in 1994, Buffy in 1996, Felicity in 1998, Freaks and Geeks in 1999, Alias in 2001, or Lost and Battlestar Galactica in 2004. All of the shows mentioned changed how I viewed television. They moved me, blew my mind, make me laugh or cry, put awe in my life and did things I never expected that shiny box to do.
While I can’t write an official review of the pilot because the final versions have not been released for review, I can give you some background information on the show and some general thoughts I had. They’re coming up, after the jump.
*SPOILER ALERT*
