http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx PUSHING DAISIES does Halloween and while it feels like a Scooby-Doo script written by a tripping beat poet, I am continuing to recommend this show. Ned (Lee Pace), the pie maker with the gift to reawaken the dead, hates Halloween. Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth), the waitress at The Pie-Hole, says the holiday makes him, “Moodier than a pumpkin with PMS.” When Ned was a boy, shipped off to boarding school after his mother died, he eventually went searching for Dad on Halloween. He found him, with a new wife and two new sons and Ned as a distant memory. This is what Ned thinks of on Halloween. He would also, as the narrator (Jim Dale) tells us, “Come back to haunt the house where good times were had…and the house that at one time had Dad.” Olive is the client this week as her past comes back to haunt her. Lucas Shoemaker, a farrier and former horse jockey is trampled by a ghostly horse and rider. The specter is the spirit of John Joseph Jacobs, a jockey himself who was trampled in the course of a race- The Jock-Off 2000. C’mon…that’s funny. Olive, it turns out, was a jockey and one of the riders that accidentally trampled John Joseph Jacobs. When Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) goes with Olive to investigate John Joseph Jacobs’ tomb, they find the skeleton of a horse with no legs instead of human remains. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx#2042 this show is so cool you guys should watch it:) tinkluvspan http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx#2042 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:31:55 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx#2046 i hope this show get taken off soon WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/PUSHING-DAISIES----Girth.aspx#2046 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 01:44:17 GMT
