It's on again totight at 8:00 EST on ABC for those who missed it. For those who saw it, make someone who missed it watch.

Actually it had a pretty impressive rating debut with 8.3 million viewers and a 14 share, so you can rest easy that PUSHING DAISIES won't be axed anytime soon.

I watched it not sure what to expect. I don't usually enjoy the Dr. Seuss mixed with dark humor type shows.
But I really enjoyed it. The supporting cast made it worth a shot.
I love Kristen Chenoweth. And I can't say I've ever seen Chi McBride playing comedy. Certainly not in The Nine or Boston Public (the only two shows of his I've seen). He's actually quite funny.
I really like Chuck's character -- she's a pistol. I'll keep watching it. Heck, there's nothing else in that time slot I'd rather see.
I guess that's not a glowing, gushing review but they've made a viewer out of me.

Same love for Kristen Chenowith here. For some reason, I'm drawn to small women with cartoon-like voices and fast comedic timing. Same reason one of my favorite characters on THE OFFICE is Kelly. She's a complete oxymoron, and yet it works.

Wasn't that Christina Hendricks (YoSafBridge) playing the part of the woman who was going to marry his Dad? I didn't get a chance to see the credits.

But, yes, I really like the show.

I think the viewer figure was closer to 13 million.

I think you clicked on the wrong thread. Christina was on "Life," not "Pushing Daisies."

Yup, you're correct. It was Life. But I watched Pushing Daisies also and loved it. Seems that there might be some good TV to watch this fall and considering none of it is on F*X it might just have a chance.

"Life" surprised me. I hadn't intended to watch it, but it was on right after "Bionic Woman" (which has disappointed me so far). I was hooked on "Life" after the first five minutes and wish I had recorded it. Damien Lewis is remarkable.

I just watched it for the 3rd time and I'm hooked (and a little bit in love with Ned/Lee Pace).

And I'm now greatly cheered by the strong ratings. It'll be interesting to see though, if the numbers stay high since even the critics who have been talking about it for months have had the caveat that the shows success will depend on if the premise can last for more than a few episodes.

ETA: ABC's promos say 27 million people have watched the premiere - does anyone know if this is including the online/advance viewings? I'm thinking it must, cause the Wednesday ratings were around 12 million(!!!) And that's quite a jump (even for a network prone to exaggeration )

Maybe they are counting the number of viewers for the two different showings of the Pie-lette, Wednesday and tonight. That still doesn't seem right, since if 13 million watched it Wed. that would mean 14 mil watched tonight, and Fridays are not known for those type of numbers.
