You know why I like Pushing Daisies? Well, a lot of reasons. But can you say retro detective story? I kind of raised myself on the Hardy Boys. So, yeah.
I'm rewatching all the episodes (though only 9 so far...) for fun, and I keep forgetting how fun they are. Someone in an interview mentioned that it's successful/good because it's kind of removed from time or place, so when they carry it over to Japan it's easily viewable for the viewers as perhaps taking place in Japan, you know? I'm not really sure where I see it in my head. Something like 1950's-inspired New York, maybe? But when New York was cleaner, obviously. Um, anyway.
I am totally referring to the refrigerator as a cheesebox from now on.
Good quotes:
"Bitch, I was in proximity!" --Emerson (S1 Ep1)
"When you get all Jabberwocky in my minute it's hard ot follow up."--Emerson (S1 Ep2)
I love Emerson. So much snarky love
oh god I need to get to bed I have to get up at six tomorrow but nooo I'm watching PD
"The fun part's counting my money in the bubble bath."--Emerson...again (S1 Ep2)
Olive: What's the poop?
Emerson: Poop?
Olive: Poop. Scoop. Skinny. The haps. The dealio. The 411. PI lingo.
Emerson: Rhubarb.
Olive: What's what mean?
Emerson: PI secret code for get me a damn slice of rhubarb. (S1 Ep2)
*Olive tears up and Digby starts licking her face*
Narrator: While Olive considered how much she loved Digby for paying attention to her when the piemaker would not, and Digby considered how much he liked salt (S1 Ep2)
AUGH there's so much awesome in these scripts I can't quote it all. Damn. must...restrict...quotations...
Emerson, forcing Ned to rekill the crash test dummy: "If I wanted to mingle with a bunch of geeks wearing leotards, I would have stayed in art school." (S1 Ep2)
*to Ned* "What, you love secrets. You want to marry secrets and have little half-secret half-human babies." --Chuck (S1 Ep2)
"I pretty much bake pies and wake the dead. I live a very sheltered life." --Ned (S1 Ep2)
"The Dandylion car is the culmination of my life's work! It's a flowerpowered phenomenon born of a thousand sleepless nights, intense ritalin abuse, and a long sublimated interest in botany." --Mark Chase (S1 Ep2)
I also love that all the actors in this show are just this side of over-the-top ridiculous. Hee hee hee.
sooo adorabllllle
[EDIT] How did I not have a snark/sarcasm tag before this?!
