Why isn't the reference to Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers in the seventh episode of the first season mentioned? It's a reference to a horror movie. 98.71.154.156 ( talk) 01:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
I think the 60 second rule has been done away with. If you watch the trailer it seems once the second touch happens your dead forever.

the show is also played on the Canadian channel CTV, a day earlier, on tuesday. The real pilot premier was on CTV Tuesday October 2nd at 8pm. Why CTV shows the same episodes a day early is unclear, but it is true. — 209.161.214.39 ( talk) 04:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
The same happened with Heroes last season on Global, and also Young and the Restless is always shown a day earlier, so its not without precedent. Anung Mwka 14:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Say, would anyone else consider this show to have many tribute aspects for the film Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain? They even feature the musical piece "Guilty" by Yann Tiersen, which was who did all the music for Amélie. Also, lots of green. And that specific time thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.144.45.226 ( talk • contribs) 2007-10-06T00:13:55
I'm not really sure, but would the show be considered "dark comedy"? just asking. Doc Strange 15:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I would consiter it a bright comedy, that's diffrent, new, yet does have a deppresing undertone that is slightly detected ever once in awhile. You know people being dead and all. yet I don't find it that "dark"... it's perfect. Well at least I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.Umm... so no, I would not say it is dark!;)
Pushing Daisies has been described as "forensic fairytale" which nice covers both the detective and fantastic elements of the show, and although it does deal with death I personally don't think of it as a dark comedy. The lighter upbeat moments wouldn't work as well without the contrast of the darker moments. There is certainly a bittersweet touch to the comedy but compared to Dead Like Me a previous creation of Bryan Fuller it is far more upbeat and optimistic so I wouldn't really describe it as dark. -- Horkana ( talk) 02:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Dead Like Me was upbeat and optimistic to me :) It was about embracing life to me. Anyway, I wouldn't say that PD is dark, except perhaps in Ned's dodging of responsibility on the take-place rule.-- 87.42.205.130 ( talk) 11:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Chuck's name is "Charlotte Charles" but is Charles her last name or is it a middle name? There doesn't appear to be evidence that the Aunts share the last name "Charles". Also what is Ned's last name? 69.143.26.71 00:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
There names are Charles-the reason is given that their mother married Chuck's grandfather when all three were in their 20's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.77.127.106 ( talk) 16:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
I added a small section about the comic that features new stuff and one that recaps old episodes, but I don't have any information about who makes them, or what the release schedule for the one with original content is. Your wiki-fu is needed! 66.36.150.101 17:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, is there a reason only Emerson Cod and Olive Snook have separate character pages? I'm not entirely sure they're necessary at this point, but if they have them, I'd think Ned and Charles should, too. Is it just by chance that no one's created those pages yet? VZG 19:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I have created character pages for them but somebody decided to redirect those pages to the Pushing Daisies entry. - Jasonbres 12:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
I reinstated the Chuck article. We'll wait and see what the deletionists do before reinstating Ned's. At least they should be consistent and not allow the articles on secondary characters to stand if they're going to redirect articles on the leads. In recent months, there has been a rather disturbing movement among the deletionists, who have made articles on television episodes and characters one of their primary targets. The Chuck article should certainly be improved, but a general trend on these television article redirects is an alarming lack of consistency. The targeting of television character and episode articles appears to be rather recent, and it is quite troubling. 128.138.42.218 00:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Ow, wow. Now the Narrator even has a page, but still none for Ned. VZG 08:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
All of the character articles and episode articles (except for the first episode) have been nominated for deletion. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misc Pushing Daisies articles. -- Ned Scott 02:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
So obvious it has been overlooked but where should the explanation of the phrase "Pushing Daisies" as in dead, as in worm food, etc. be placed? A link to Wiktionary or as part of the introductory note as part at the top of the page. Explaining the context and not assuming too much from the reader - the expression "pushing daisies" is non-obvious to those who have English their second language - is what makes the difference between an article and encyclopedic writing. -- Horkana ( talk) 04:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I put that the series takes place in the Daisyverse. The term came from http://www.pushingdaisies-tv.com/forums in the subject called daisyverse where the fans voted on a name for the universe of Pushing Daisies. — Mugatu3333 ( talk • contribs) 03:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Airing of the first episode started on 22 January 2008 in South Africa on the Subscription based TV channel, MNet. It airs every Tuesday evening at 19:30. I didn't add this to the article for the fear of inadvertently destroying it.

Both shows by Brian Fuller feature a girl with a guy's nickname that dies, and is brought back to life - with a catch. She then lives more fully and grows in her post-life more than she was able to in her natural one. I think both definitely qualify as dark comedy in a sort of "morbid absurdity" sense. Camus would have appreciated these shows. 97.89.103.56 ( talk) 02:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Thanatos
Stop saying that Ned's mother's death was caused by Ned's revival of a fly. Ned's mother did not die because of that, because
a.) As explained in almost every episode, but more specifically in "Pigeon", the rate of exchange for the life an animal is that of another animal, and the rate of exchange for the life of a human is that of another human, which is why Emerson didn't die when Pidge was brought back to life.
b.) It would take way more than a minute for Ned to revive the fly, go to Chuck's house, have a playdate with her, go back to his house, get cleaned up by his mother and then watch his mother kick the bucket.
In conclusion, Ned's mother actually did die of natural causes. -

could someone who knows something about the show please rewrite the intro paragraph so that it tells something about the content of the show, rather than details about people no-one gives a crap about and who they've worked with, what their bicycle colours are and so on. many thanks 85.194.245.82 ( talk) 20:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Was it ever revealed what ITV were planning on doing if the strike hadn't happened? After all, there'd have been 13 episodes too many then, not just 1. Digifiend ( talk) 11:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
They're putting it on their catchup service from 31 May for either 7 or 28 days (I've not been able to get a solid answer as to which) — 82.21.104.117 ( talk) 20:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone seen yet how many episodes were ordered for the second season? - Joltman ( talk) 12:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I love to see people drawing parallels to Torchwood and Dead Like Me. I'd also love to see some people drawing some Harry Potter parallels in this article. The most obvious of which would be Jim Dale narrating the story of a young boy who is abandoned by his parents to a boarding school where he discovers his supernatural talents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.234.73.45 ( talk) 22:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Anyone notice any similarity with Torchwood, the Dr Who spin off. That show featured a glove with the ability of revive the dead for a short period of time. — 165.69.13.113 ( talk) 22:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
hello, i'm a 15, nearly 16 in a month, and my legal guardian, has been questioning letting me watch it, she hasnt seen it, but she is protective and caring.
Is there any idea roughly, on the age limit? i think its great, and would love to know.
thank you ( 89.243.86.181 ( talk) 20:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC))
I don't know the formal ratings, as I've not seen a region 2 release of it, but to be honest, I'd let my 7 year old watch it with supervision (if she liked it), and a 10 year old could watch it without. Indeed, my 15 year old cousin who can't even watch shows like Grey's Anatomy or House M.D. has watched the whole series and laughed at it. There is very little of the "nasty" stuff that a parent would worry about. Most of the death and the like in it are so stylised and surreal that a 15/16 year old would be more likely to laugh at it than be disturbed by it (as an example, in this show, a revived pigeon has lost a wing, so olive and the aunts take a wing from a stuffed parrot and attach the parrots wing to the pigeon with what (I think) was called a bejeweller, with the net result of a pigeon with a green wing and some kind of jewelled gold backpack thing. — 82.21.104.117 ( talk) 20:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Who's the guy that keeps adding Field Cate's name to the regular cast? Please stop doing that! Cate is not a regular on the show. He's a recurring cast member! That's the reason why you never see his name after Kristin Chenoweth's name in the credits under "starring". He is ALWAYS listed as either "Co-Starring" or "Guest Starring". So please stop adding his name as a regular. -- Jasonbres ( talk) 22:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm the one who has attempted to add my son, Field Cate, to the cast list of "Pushing Daisies," since he's gained series-regular status on the show. I was simply trying to get the facts out, for the benefit of a more accurate page. But I apologize that I was unaware of the COI policy. Thanks. Fieldspring ( talk) 09:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree, unless he is stated in the "starring" section at the beginning of the show, he shouldn't be listed as a main cast member. -- Loveem at 11:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
He is now... -- Fieldspring ( talk) 14:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Fine, I guess we will see. But until then, stop changing it. -- Loveem at 19:42, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Fieldspring talk:
I'm sorry to everyone, but Mrs. Cate, or whoever, is correct. As of the first episode of the second season, Field Cate is listed after Jim Dale and before Ellen Greene. Saw it myself on my recording of the show. tmkeffer71 at 16:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)
DumZiBoT ( talk) 22:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
The main article could be improved if there were more information on the lights and cameras used in shooting the scenes. The scenes really do look like they were shot in Technicolor. The colors appear to be very brightly lit, and I can't help but speculate that computers were used in post, so the colors could be made brighter and more uniform, all the way across the scene. 198.177.25.10 ( talk) 04:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
02-Oct-2008: I have added subheaders above as "Topics from 2007" (etc.) to emphasize the dates of topics in the talk-page. Older topics might still apply, but using the year headers helps to focus on more current issues as well. Afterward, I moved the Torchwood-topic into date order for 2008, and shortened 9 auto-signed dates. - Wikid77 ( talk) 11:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I first added the "with" and "and" to the main cast section, but another user has taken them out due to them thinking it's something to do with an agent's desire. Any comments / opinions? I think the "with" and "and" should stay, as this is how they're listed at the beginning of the show. - Loveem ( talk) 20:10, 05 October 2008 (BST)
Who in the hell would NOT consider Daeg Faerch a celebrity?
I honestly think you removed him solely because you are jealous of his hard-earned success and true, genuine talent that most of today's plastic Nickelodeon and Disney Channel actors lack severely.
I think Daeg should be added back to the list of guest stars. Also note that Daeg is the FIRST guest star on the show to play a RECURRING GUEST ROLE. That alone makes him worthy of inclusion in my book. PF4Eva ( talk) 17:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Personally, I've never heard of Daeg Faerch, Sid Haig, Ken Foree or Danielle Harris. Blaylockjam10 ( talk) 10:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Should something be mentioned that there is no modern technology, such as iPods, computers and cell phones (at least that I've seen)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.215.130 ( talk) 04:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Is the series likely to make it to the end of the second season? Is there likely to be a third season?- 69.87.203.60 ( talk) 13:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
While it's true ABC has not ordered any episodes beyond the initial 13 for this season, the network is on record as saying the show is not yet officially cancelled. See http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081121/tv_nm/us_abc_2 for a current news story confirming this. - 21:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
It's as good as canceled now, the article should be converted to past-tense. — raeky ( talk | edits) 05:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
agreed show cancelled —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.67.78 ( talk) 18:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
The article could do with a section about the genesis of the show. In this interview [1] Bryan Fuller says that the programme was originally going to be a spin-off of Dead Like Me. Count de Ville ( talk) 03:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I removed the following text from the plot summary and it was re-placed. It appears to be vandalism. What is your reference? The dedication makes me think this is junk. If there is no source from the broadcast episodes it should be deleted.
"By the end of the series, Emerson's daughter returns to him, Chuck is able to reveal that she is alive to Lily and Vivian, and Olive has fallen in love and opens her own restaurant (dedicated to Macaroni and Cheese.)" HK747 ( talk) 17:08, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree, the reference is the episode which has already aired in other parts of the world. And per WP:SPOILER it is allowed in the article. I'm only holding off turning this article into past-tense (since it is 100% canceled) until after it has aired in it's primary market. — raeky ( talk | edits) 01:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
I keep saying, you're all ruining it for everyone in the US of A who has not had the chance of seeing the last three episodes! - Jasonbres ( talk) 16:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
The narator says it and it shown on screen. Its sort of a foreshadowing of events that will come to pass. Or in Ned/Chucks case things that are happening right now. As also noted on wiki article the movie/comic would most likely deal with these events in full. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pontifactus ( talk • contribs) 08:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I removed the paragraph too. If the Harry Potter pages could have a huge heading telling us not to post the ending of the last novel then Wikipedia could be nice enough to wait until the episode has been broadcast in the USA. That's five days from now. Saxophobia ( talk) 17:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
OK, I will not tamper with the page, but please answer this question. The plot summary is a generalized outline of the show with few specific references to individual episodes or plot points. Why then is it so very important to have the last five minutes of the last episode explained? Either the article should be more detailed, season by season, or it should be brief without the final episode revelation. Saxophobia ( talk) 23:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I've added new Bryan Fuller navbox to the article. As the result, both the new navbox and the series navbox are collapsed. Is there a way to force a template to expand?
Primaler ( talk) 03:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
I suggest Papen County be merged here under a section Setting. The show has been canceled, the setting no longer merits its own page. — the Man in Question (in question) 23:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I think there is an important distinction to be made between the format Pushing Daisies was shot in (high definition 1080p), and the format it was initially broadcast in in the US (720p). There is a very clear and defined difference between these two standards, and it is important to note somewhere that the Blu-ray release presents the program as originally made, not broadcast. It is insufficient to say that the Blu-ray is automatically 1080p and this note is therefore unnecessary, because a Blu-ray can be released in 720p. Therefore, with Pushing Daisies, watching the Blu-ray represents the original program as produced, whereas the broadcast was a down-scale to 720p.
As this article is a repository of information and data pertaining to Pushing Daisies, this must be noted. 2.120.230.50 ( talk) 07:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Would it be okay with everyone if I added a section to the article about the plotlines that were never wrapped up? Ex: Both Chuck and Ned's fathers, the pocketwatches, that sort of thing. ( Komodo ninja ( talk) 02:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC))
According to [2] [3], The genre-themed cable channel Chiller will begin airing Pushing Daisies starting March 5. It will be the first time it's aired on TV since 2009. I don't know where this will fit in the article. PF4Eva ( talk) 05:46, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
C'mon! Am I the only one to notice that the shows odd visual style includes lots of cleavage displayed by the actresses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.132.219 ( talk) 12:12, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Both shows by Brian Fuller feature a girl with a guy's nickname that dies, and is brought back to life - with a catch. She then lives more fully and grows in her post-life more than she was able to in her natural one. I think both definitely qualify as dark comedy in a sort of "morbid absurdity" sense. Camus would have appreciated these shows. 97.89.103.56 ( talk) 02:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Thanatos
Stop saying that Ned's mother's death was caused by Ned's revival of a fly. Ned's mother did not die because of that, because
a.) As explained in almost every episode, but more specifically in "Pigeon", the rate of exchange for the life an animal is that of another animal, and the rate of exchange for the life of a human is that of another human, which is why Emerson didn't die when Pidge was brought back to life.
b.) It would take way more than a minute for Ned to revive the fly, go to Chuck's house, have a playdate with her, go back to his house, get cleaned up by his mother and then watch his mother kick the bucket.
In conclusion, Ned's mother actually did die of natural causes. -

could someone who knows something about the show please rewrite the intro paragraph so that it tells something about the content of the show, rather than details about people no-one gives a crap about and who they've worked with, what their bicycle colours are and so on. many thanks 85.194.245.82 ( talk) 20:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I love to see people drawing parallels to Torchwood and Dead Like Me. I'd also love to see some people drawing some Harry Potter parallels in this article. The most obvious of which would be Jim Dale narrating the story of a young boy who is abandoned by his parents to a boarding school where he discovers his supernatural talents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.234.73.45 ( talk) 22:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know the formal ratings, as I've not seen a region 2 release of it, but to be honest, I'd let my 7 year old watch it with supervision (if she liked it), and a 10 year old could watch it without. Indeed, my 15 year old cousin who can't even watch shows like Grey's Anatomy or House M.D. has watched the whole series and laughed at it. There is very little of the "nasty" stuff that a parent would worry about. Most of the death and the like in it are so stylised and surreal that a 15/16 year old would be more likely to laugh at it than be disturbed by it (as an example, in this show, a revived pigeon has lost a wing, so olive and the aunts take a wing from a stuffed parrot and attach the parrots wing to the pigeon with what (I think) was called a bejeweller, with the net result of a pigeon with a green wing and some kind of jewelled gold backpack thing. — 82.21.104.117 ( talk) 20:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Who's the guy that keeps adding Field Cate's name to the regular cast? Please stop doing that! Cate is not a regular on the show. He's a recurring cast member! That's the reason why you never see his name after Kristin Chenoweth's name in the credits under "starring". He is ALWAYS listed as either "Co-Starring" or "Guest Starring". So please stop adding his name as a regular. -- Jasonbres ( talk) 22:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm the one who has attempted to add my son, Field Cate, to the cast list of "Pushing Daisies," since he's gained series-regular status on the show. I was simply trying to get the facts out, for the benefit of a more accurate page. But I apologize that I was unaware of the COI policy. Thanks. Fieldspring ( talk) 09:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree, unless he is stated in the "starring" section at the beginning of the show, he shouldn't be listed as a main cast member. -- Loveem at 11:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Fieldspring talk:
I'm sorry to everyone, but Mrs. Cate, or whoever, is correct. As of the first episode of the second season, Field Cate is listed after Jim Dale and before Ellen Greene. Saw it myself on my recording of the show. tmkeffer71 at 16:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The main article could be improved if there were more information on the lights and cameras used in shooting the scenes. The scenes really do look like they were shot in Technicolor. The colors appear to be very brightly lit, and I can't help but speculate that computers were used in post, so the colors could be made brighter and more uniform, all the way across the scene. 198.177.25.10 ( talk) 04:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
02-Oct-2008: I have added subheaders above as "Topics from 2007" (etc.) to emphasize the dates of topics in the talk-page. Older topics might still apply, but using the year headers helps to focus on more current issues as well. Afterward, I moved the Torchwood-topic into date order for 2008, and shortened 9 auto-signed dates. - Wikid77 ( talk) 11:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
I first added the "with" and "and" to the main cast section, but another user has taken them out due to them thinking it's something to do with an agent's desire. Any comments / opinions? I think the "with" and "and" should stay, as this is how they're listed at the beginning of the show. - Loveem ( talk) 20:10, 05 October 2008 (BST)
Who in the hell would NOT consider Daeg Faerch a celebrity?
I honestly think you removed him solely because you are jealous of his hard-earned success and true, genuine talent that most of today's plastic Nickelodeon and Disney Channel actors lack severely.
I think Daeg should be added back to the list of guest stars. Also note that Daeg is the FIRST guest star on the show to play a RECURRING GUEST ROLE. That alone makes him worthy of inclusion in my book. PF4Eva ( talk) 17:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

While it's true ABC has not ordered any episodes beyond the initial 13 for this season, the network is on record as saying the show is not yet officially cancelled. See http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081121/tv_nm/us_abc_2 for a current news story confirming this. - 21:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I removed the following text from the plot summary and it was re-placed. It appears to be vandalism. What is your reference? The dedication makes me think this is junk. If there is no source from the broadcast episodes it should be deleted.
"By the end of the series, Emerson's daughter returns to him, Chuck is able to reveal that she is alive to Lily and Vivian, and Olive has fallen in love and opens her own restaurant (dedicated to Macaroni and Cheese.)" HK747 ( talk) 17:08, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree, the reference is the episode which has already aired in other parts of the world. And per WP:SPOILER it is allowed in the article. I'm only holding off turning this article into past-tense (since it is 100% canceled) until after it has aired in it's primary market. — raeky ( talk | edits) 01:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

The narator says it and it shown on screen. Its sort of a foreshadowing of events that will come to pass. Or in Ned/Chucks case things that are happening right now. As also noted on wiki article the movie/comic would most likely deal with these events in full. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pontifactus ( talk • contribs) 08:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, I removed the paragraph too. If the Harry Potter pages could have a huge heading telling us not to post the ending of the last novel then Wikipedia could be nice enough to wait until the episode has been broadcast in the USA. That's five days from now. Saxophobia ( talk) 17:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
OK, I will not tamper with the page, but please answer this question. The plot summary is a generalized outline of the show with few specific references to individual episodes or plot points. Why then is it so very important to have the last five minutes of the last episode explained? Either the article should be more detailed, season by season, or it should be brief without the final episode revelation. Saxophobia ( talk) 23:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I think there is an important distinction to be made between the format Pushing Daisies was shot in (high definition 1080p), and the format it was initially broadcast in in the US (720p). There is a very clear and defined difference between these two standards, and it is important to note somewhere that the Blu-ray release presents the program as originally made, not broadcast. It is insufficient to say that the Blu-ray is automatically 1080p and this note is therefore unnecessary, because a Blu-ray can be released in 720p. Therefore, with Pushing Daisies, watching the Blu-ray represents the original program as produced, whereas the broadcast was a down-scale to 720p.
As this article is a repository of information and data pertaining to Pushing Daisies, this must be noted. 2.120.230.50 ( talk) 07:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
