Pushing Daisies

don't know who that is.

You don't know about Lee Pace? He was in Pushing Daisies.

Have you ever seen? I highly recommend watching that show.

It's so good.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I always bring up Pushing Daisies.

So Pushing Daisies was a show that is one of-- will always remain one of m- the, my most favorite shows I've ever worked on in my life.

And, um, it was just so different and it was so, at the time, it was just so out there.

Like, it was so not...

But yeah, I think "Firefly" deserves to be on there, at least as an honorary mention, because it was so great and it just got screwed over, uh, by network executives.

Jen Wallace said, uh, "Not an exhaustive list, but some of the shows that first came to mind for consideration: 'Veronica Mars', 'Calling In Accounts', 'Blunt Talk', 'Narcos', and 'Pushing Daisies'." Okay, Jen, I love you.

Um, the only episode of "Veronica Mars" I've ever seen is the one my buddy Trey Crowder was in where he plays Chattanooga Charlie, a bartender, but I am very aware that that show, uh, was phenomenal.

Uh, "Calling In Accounts" I actually have never even heard of until I read your comment, so...

I think he makes everything he's in better.

Uh, he's truly wonderful in "Narcos".

And I'm so happy that someone else watched "Pushing Daisies" aside from me.

The lead in that show, his name is Lee Pace, and I love Lee Pace so much.

Well, if there's anything else that you think should have deserved to be on the list.

You have Pushing Daisies down.

Pushing Daisies.

Unfortunately, it was only one and a half seasons.

Because of the writer's strike

I know, but I don't believe in them on the list.

[laughs]

Well, Pushing Daisies should have been on it.

She won a Tony Award for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Uh, she has an Emmy award for that TV show Pushing Daisies.

I know last year, she recently got, like, a lot of heat from the queer community due to her support for Charlie Kirk.

I feel like she has had brushes with these kinds of things in the past.

Mm-hmm.

So I had been really obsessed with the show Pushing Daisies.

I love that show.

My entire life, I've been a huge Addams family aficionado, which you can definitely see in, like, some of the character vibes there.

yeah so like but I think in a story where they were explicitly thinking about romance or maybe even cardinal desires this would have been addressed in a way where like obviously this is not the story but like if these beings were horny and they wanted each other like something would have happened like they would have fucked through cloth or something

you just reminded me of Pushing Daisies which has what was it like the main character who was like I think it was Lee Pace actually he could like touch someone and bring them back to life but if he touched them a second time they'd die so he brought back to life girl he was in love with when they were younger but of course they can never like touch again because then he'll kill her again they do put some thought into like how do you do anything in that kind of relationship

Word is the will of the way.

Okay, let me bring our discussion to a close with an email from Chris from Canada titled, A Lustrous Cycle.

Okay.

He went on to create the Hannibal TV show in Pushing Daisies.

But, yeah, you've got to watch that realizing that it was supposed to be a pilot for a TV show.

Well, I'm glad we're having this conversation because I didn't know that.

Interesting.

The guy I did Pushing Daisies with.

Wow.

Interesting.

I love Pushing Daisies.

That's my original Lee Pace crush.

Sure, sure, sure.
