I'm jealous! I'm not seeing it until March. But then I do get to see it again in June and hopefully again in July.

Name: Linn

Age: 21

Birthday: January 30 (born 1987)

Country: Norway

Favorite TV Shows: 'Daisies', Bones, House (Octobers ftw!), Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice, Lost, One Tree Hill, The Office, Grey's.

What is it about Pushing Daisies that interests you: Just all of it, it's the whole shebang, which is so rare.

Character you're most interested in: Olive "Snookums" Snook - because really, she's the most adorable character on television and she's Olive! In all her tounge-in-speaking, flaky, sadness-resigned, cute, snazzy, sassy, awesome self. And she's played by the, IMO, most versatile performer of our time.

Random thoughts: Usually I fall for a couple of things and I watch for that, but with Pushing Daisies, I love it all. I love every single character, even the guests. I love the vision it gives me, the colors it has. I love the feeling I get when I watch it. It's just 40 minutes of smiling true it. It's happiness in the shape of my TV. As a first in my life, I love every single character on my favourite TV show. But Olive's my girl... she's sort of all of us, you know?

We can all relate to being that person who wants so badly what they can't have, but there's still hope. And I'm a lot like Olive in that I don't give up or get sad because of it, I just channel it in different ways. Olive wants Ned, and a part of her knows that she could make him happy. But she also sees that he wants Chuck and he loves her. And so she's happy for them. She's not trying to break them up or take Chuck out. She just can't help but have a part of her that wishes she was that person.

I love Pushing Daisies for everything it is, but what I love most is that it does what other TV shows are afraid to do. On any other show, Chuck and Olive would be bitter enemies. People assume that's more entertaining. But I love the intrigue of having two women who are in love with the same man, and can offer/represent different things, become friends and liking each other as human beings. I love that this show is so fairytale-ish and so in another universe yet IMO it's the most human show on TV at times. Because it deals with real feelings in a real way while in a fairytale world.

I'm just so thankful for this show, and the standard it has set for television.

That is beautifully put and I totally agree! How great and refreshing is Chuck and Olive's friendship...and all the relationships are very real

Welcome everyone
