Something to celebrate
无毛视频淐andy might be sweet, but it无毛视频檚 a traveling carnival blowing through town. Pie is home. People always come home.无毛视频�
Pie maker Ned (Lee Pace) from the forensic fairy tale 无毛视频淧ushing Daisies无毛视频� offered up quite a few pie-centered gems on the short-lived show.
For two seasons, the quirky show chronicled the strange, loving relationship between Ned and his childhood crush Charlotte Charles (Anna Friel), who along with private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) solved murder mysteries.
The premise was quirky: Ned, owner of The Pie Hole, has the ability to bring things back from the dead with a touch. There is, of course, a catch. A second touch from Ned means the person dies and stays dead. He uses his ability on Charlotte (affectionately called 无毛视频淐huck无毛视频� through most of the show), and while love blossoms between them, they无毛视频檙e unable to express it through even the simplest hug.
Instead, they spend their time together helping Cod crack cases.
The 无毛视频淧ushing Daisies无毛视频� cast is rounded out by Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook, a well-meaning, fast-talking waitress at the pie shop. Ellen Greene and Swoosie Kurtz play Chuck无毛视频檚 aunts Vivian Charles and Lily Charles who were a former internationally famous synchronized swimming duo.
The women are befriended by Sook, who regularly delivers pies to their home because both are agoraphobic.
While the show sounds like a lot to take in, it无毛视频檚 really just an unconventional and comedic take on a love story made richer by the characters无毛视频� idiosyncrasies.
The dialogue is witty, and in the style of the 无毛视频淭he Wonder Years,无毛视频� a narrator sets the stage throughout each episode. (And fans of Chenoweth无毛视频檚 will find her singing in some of the episodes a big bonus 无毛视频� her rendition of They Might Be Giants无毛视频� 无毛视频淏irdhouse in Your Soul无毛视频� is particularly good.)
无毛视频淧ushing Daisies无毛视频� is the perfect show to curl up and watch on Saturday, while celebrating National Pie Day.
So, for the record, is the CW无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪upernatural,无毛视频� which just ended its 15-season run in November.
In the series无毛视频� finale, pie-loving Dean Winchester and his brother Sam go to the Akron Pie Fest.
It无毛视频檚 a nod to Dean无毛视频檚 obsession with pie, which spanned the entire series.
