Okay, guys, now that I’ve seen the second episode of Pushing Daisies, it’s moved up to the “LOVE/ADDICTED/OBSESSED” category on my TV breakdown. Easily the best of the new shows. In fact, it’s been ages since I’ve been this delighted by a show.

Let me just tell you a few of the things that made me giddy this week:

• The color scheme. Again. No, I will not get over this anytime soon, what with all the bright green and red and pink in large quantities.

• Nor will I get over the narration anytime soon, which is so perfect that I’m pretty much entranced as soon as it starts.
• Emerson knitting. And knitting not just anything…knitting gun holsters.
• Chuck being petulant about not getting shotgun (I just think she’s cute when she’s petulant).
• Ned being adorable all the time.
• Musical interlude!! They couldn’t put Kristin Chenoweth on the show and not have random musical numbers, though, now could they?

• The dandelion-car guy DROVE A HUMMER. Yeah, I laughed out loud.
• Chuck and Ned kissing through bodybags. Aw.

And I’ve heard it’s done well in the ratings so far, which is AWESOME. This is so totally the type of show that I usually fall in love with, only to have it canceled after four episodes (I’m looking at you, Wonderfalls…*sniff*). Hopefully that doesn’t happen here. Thank goodness it’s on ABC instead of Fox, that’s all I’m saying.
