Pushing Daisies (2007)
Could it be TOO original?
I saw the pilot after having seen selected preview clips. I have to say that taken as a whole, the pilot is somewhat off-putting (IMHO). The clips out of context are very funny, and I was quite intrigued after viewing them. However (again - for ME), the entire product was/is absolutely bizarre. To it's credit it is VERY original, if somewhat self-indulgent in it's cleverness. Lengthened to a movie rather than a one-hour TV program, it would likely be a cult favorite along the lines of Big Fish. It's a strange, dark fairy-tale parody with wild characters and even wilder situations (so far). I'm not sure that the average viewer will go for this series on a weekly basis, and, in fact, I tend toward saying they will not. If you're looking for something different, though, you really don't want to miss this. You'll certainly have something to talk about the next day.
