Loved it. The main girl reminds me of Zooey Deschamel. I may get tired of the narration, but other than that I loved it. I had to call the DD and tell her to watch simply for the fact that he said "cause that's the way I roll" (from another thread).

Veni, vidi, velcro
I came, I saw, I stuck around

It has a lot of Dead Like Me undertones, hubby and I loved it, even the ever-elusive 15yr old drama queen came down and graced us with her presence for the show
Definite keeper imho, I think this has the potential to be really good long term

Karma doesn't come back on people because some universal controller-god pushes buttons. It comes back on people because they dig holes for themselves to fall into.

i only was able to watch the beginning but i thought it was verry clever and charming. i couldn't help but feel bad for the young boy when his mom died! sadd

On the one hand, it has definite supernatural elements and gives Ned a power that only God or assigned representatives are supposed to have.

On the other, it's pretty much the ultimate abstinence commericial.

HA! Abstinence commercial - good one.

Gotta admit I was surprised with the show, although the narration may get a bit irritating.

We loved it! In fact, both our girls watched with us. It may have been a bit cramped in the living room, but that sure was a nice feeling to finally have something we all wanted to do together!

GF said, "yep, it's weird...that means it'll be my fave!" Honestly, if I had to choose just one show to watch, this would be my choice!

Loved the narration, the Pie Hole, the witty one liners, the actors, just everything...great show. Also, loved that the pilot was called "Pie-lette"

Yes, the "Pie-lette" was funny. Our family enjoyed it together, too.

In some ways this show reminds me of the movie "Big Fish", because it's told in a fairy tale fashion.

I did the math, and the dog is 23 years old (Ned was 9, and the dog was 3 when Ned touched him back to life, and Ned is 29 now, because he is one year older than Chuck, who is 28 years old), and the dog doesn't look old or sick at all.

This raises some interesting questions. How long will the dog live? Is he immortal because of Ned's touch or will he die when Ned dies? Since there is no rule book, I guess there will be some things revealed as time goes on.

I love the Pie Hole, too. Mmmmm, pie!

for something different!

Bonus: ABC is showing full episodes of this online so you can view it whenever you get a chance to. YAY!

He who throws mud loses ground.

Whee! We recorded it and just watched it tonight. Yup, quirky, funny, drama, sci-fi, all rolled into one. I think it's my favorite new show, too. In addition to what was already mentioned, loved the fact that the aunt couldn't see Chuck because of the eye patch!

I watched episode 2 last night and it's already wearing thin. For the fun stuff, maybe Estee spoke too soon about the abstinence commercial! Ned and Chuck are fun to watch together and they will find a way!

The girl that's in love with Ned, Olive (?), has some funny lines but it's never good when the story is more about giving an actor a chance to sing than act. This time, the choreography with the floor cleaner made it funny but I hope her role isn't to sing in every episode.

I'm wondering if there is anything to the narrative always telling us the age to the last minute of individuals. It weighs down the narrative quite unnecessarily if there isn't a justification given.

Ned is having more and more trouble with his conscience about Chuck's father and that's an interesting storyline, much more than the lame detective stories. If it continues to be mainly a detective show, I don't give it long.

We're going to have to rearrange our TIVO schedule to make sure we get this show. Last week we recorded it the old fashion way on VCR because we also record Back to You at the same time but after watching the episode on Friday we knew we'd have to change our schedule.

It is the cutest little show.

Syren did this

Oh, DH, my cousin and I all just love Pushing Daisies! I think we get it a day early here (Tuesday).

I hope they don't lose the narrator. A lot of shows that start with narration lose it. Just as an example, Las Vegas (which I don't watch anymore) was originally narrated by Danny.

No fair! I wanna see it on Tuesdays!

I actually don't like the narration. Well, I don't like the amount of narattion there is. I would be fine with it if it wasn't constantly interrupting the show.

One word: GOTHMOG!
Seana! Good to see you. *smooch*
