What I'm Watching: Pushing Daisies

Pushing Daisies: Season 2, Episode 5 "Dim Sum Lose Some" (B+)

This really is quite a peculiar show, but I do enjoy it. The lavish setups and surprising connections to the case are amusing and inventive. The plea to Emerson for help via fortune is incredibly original, and his reaction to everything, especially his love for the food, is great. It's also fun that the show brought back a supposedly one-shot character, one of the four wives from season one, whose interaction with Emerson is terrific and who I feel might be popping up again on the show. I'm always perplexed by how the whole gang ends up going undercover so quickly, but it's well worth it for the amount of humor that comes out of it.
