Pushing Daisies was a surprise hit last year. While it was not lacking for promotion from ABC, there were few who expected a show this original, quirky and stylized – with a none-too-simple setup to work with a broad audience. But work it did, and now the series has picked up a handful of Emmy nominations as it returns for a second season this fall. If you’ve never seen this group together, you should. Creator Bryan Fuller has written for Star Trek and Heroes and created beloved shows that failed (Wonderfalls) or went awry (Dead Like Me), and is becoming famous for telling great stories in forums such as this. Chi McBride tends to bring down the house, to a point where eventually he’ll probably no longer be asked “How come we didn’t know you were so funny?”
If you’re a Daisies fan – this is panel should be at the top of your list. Here’s all the info you’ll need to see it:
