Pushing Daisies is many things at once: detective show, romantic comedy, whimsical fantasy and above all, a story about a guy who bakes pies and has the ability to bring dead people back to life. Somehow all of these things come together to make one of the most enjoyable, funny and bittersweet shows to come along in a long time. A lot of that magic comes from the near-perfect casting - Lee Pace (The Fall, Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day) as Ned the Piemaker is wonderfully reserved and adorably neurotic; his facial expressions alone provide some of the most moving and hilarious moments in the series. Anna Friel as Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Chi McBride as Emerson Cod and Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook round out the regulars at the Pie Hole and veteran actresses Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene are great as Chuck's eccentric aunts whose passions include synchronized swimming, amateur ornithology and rare cheeses. Pushing Daisies exists in a world where people regularly break out into song to express their feelings, where death is never gory and usually played for comic effect, and where every color on screen is richly saturated and vibrant, creating an oddly timeless Edward Scissorhands-like world.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of cult favorites Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls has perfected his style with Pushing Daisies; this series has a broader appeal than the previous shows. Each imaginatively produced episode has such snappy writing paired with ghoulish sensibilities, heart wrenching romance and classic caper-style crime fighting, making every moment completely un-missable. The DVD release of Season One contains all nine original episodes and a behind-the-scenes featurette. ---Kira Canny

Brilliant show!!! January 6, 2009
Loved Pushing Daisies from day one! This DVD collection will be an invaluable and treasured collection, particularly given the sad news that ABC has cancelled its broadcast. There's not too much bonus material in the DVD set, but the interviews with cast and creator are definitely interesting!

Pushing Daisys video--first season January 6, 2009
I had a few options for ordering this video; the comments I read for some of the sources indicated problems with timely receiving the order, so I relied on the positive reviews for Amazon. Happily, they were correct and I received the video when promised, and in plenty of time to give it as a present. I was very happy.

Extraordinary! January 2, 2009

I bought this knowing very little about it, and having never seen an episode. I was FAR FROM DISAPPOINTED! I really enjoyed it. Of course by having recently found the show I was upset to find it's been cancelled- but still certainly worth watching. I highly recommend this! It's laugh out loud funny, romantic and visually stunning. Enjoy!

Wonderful December 30, 2008
The best television show in a very, very long time. A great story and cast make this show a must see for practically every audience. The story is quirky and enormously entertaining. I was devastated to hear that the show was cancelled, as it is the best hour of television to be found anywhere.

Best Show EVER!!! December 24, 2008
Heartbreaking to see that ABC cancelled this magical, cute, quirky, romantic, hilarious, heartwarming show. I cannot believe that they still keep some stupid shows, but get rid of something so entertaining.

This is a show that everyone, from young to old can watch and enjoy!! Bryan Fuller has such a brilliant mind to put these incredible characters together and come up with something magical and unique.

I really enjoy watching Pushing Daisies and pray for a miracle that the show will be picked up by another network.
