Jim Dale on Pushing Daisies

[Tiffany B. Clark]

Ali:

What hype? I don't recall any hype. I remember seeing a few posters
and billboards (of the variety one would find on public transportation
vehicles and in their stations), but is that hype? Maybe I'm just too
used to having those things flash by me, but I don't consider that hype.
 
In any case, I actually really like Pushing Daisies. It's very Amelie
with a splash of Big Fish, and that's actually something that has a
very specific audience, much like the cult-favourite Dead Like Me. As
Magpie said, Pushing Daisies is unbearably twee, but I don't find that
obnoxious. What can I say? If I truly found cuteness unbearable, I
wouldn't be putting up with a cat to whom I'm constantly threatening
de-clawing. :)

I also don't recall any hyping it up, just some online promos & 
commercials for it.  Also, the reviews for the series have been very 
mixed to say the least with some loving it & some loathing it.  I've 
not seen it so I can't issue commentary on the series, but some friends 
I know of have said they weren't that impressed with the pilot episode.
