Now available on DVD is the brilliant and gone to soon, Pushing Daisies.
By the way, if you are looking for spoilers, you won't find them here. I won't be discussing the story line at all besides the basics.
The story of a pie maker who can raise the dead with one touch continues in the second season and the show is just as charming and magical as the first season. I am a little mad that I missed this show when it first aired. But at the same time, I was able to see it all at once without having to wait a week between episodes, which would have been terribly difficult.
I don't think there is a show on television that has as much soul as this one did. It's emotional, funny, quirky, touching, dramatic, and like I said before: Magical.
ABC had an amazing show here and they let it go way too soon. It's just another testament to the Television environment. Nothing is allowed to grow anymore. It's sad.
The DVD set features the last 13 episodes of the show created by the brilliant Bryan Fuller (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me) as well as a few special features. We have featurettes on the music of the show, production challenges, visual effects, the inner secrets of the show.
Overall, it's a decent set. The show was yanked from the air far too early and I am really sad to see this story end.
I could really go for more of Ned and Chuck's story. Pushing Daisies was a rare show indeed. An imaginative dream of a creation with amazing actors and beautiful stories and while the finale seems a tad rushed, it still gives us a decent end to a story that should go on for years.
This is a perfect show that you need to see from the beginning so pick up the special set of both season one and two of Pushing Daisies.
Pushing Daises Season 2 is available now on DVD and Blu-ray.
