hey hey! last night i finally watched the first episode of **pushing daisies** which premiered on ABC this past wednesday - oh my goodness - i have a new favorite show! it's super quirky & whimsical - a modern day fairytale of sorts - focused on a guy named 'ned' played adorably by lee pace who has the power to bring dead things back to life with a single touch - but on the second touch - instant death! he ends up saving this childhood friend of his named 'chuck' (short for 'charlotte') who he has developed feelings for but can never touch her - or she'll wind up dead again! i know it all sounds a little wacky but trust me - this is totally the hot new show of the fall season!
i was also super delighted to see ellen greene as one of the oddball aunts (the other is played by the always fabulous swoosie kurtz) i've seen ms. greene a number of times at the local grocery story (rock & roll ralphs on sunset) and i always want to approach her - she kicked ass in little shop of horrors as 'audrey' - but i knew she wasn't working much these days - i'm so glad she got a part on this show - i sure do hope she sticks around! i'm quite curious to see the next few episodes - i wonder if the energy & zaniness of the first show can be sustained as the series carries on! if you didn't catch the premiere - you can view it online on abc.com! i hope everyone is enjoying their weekend - popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
