Thank You Alex J. Cavanaugh for bringing back Underrated Treasures!!!
TV Series from 2007-2009
I loved this series! The kid's and I
would actually make a pie, and
gathered round and watch the
show eating pie!
I'm a fan of Lee Pace and felt
Pushing Daisies was highly
unique and was crushed when
they cancelled the show!!!
A pie-maker, with the power to bring dead people
back to life, solves murder mysteries with his alive-
again childhood sweetheart, a cynical private
investigator, and a lovesick waitress.

That was a great show!
ReplyDeleteLol about the pie. cool.
ReplyDeleteAw, I remember Pushing Daisies! (That pie-eating tradition of yours is oh-so perfect for this show!) As much as I enjoyed it, Wonderfalls continues to be my favorite Bryan Fuller show, I must admit, heh. (Lee Pace was in that, too!)
ReplyDeleteI remember this show. I wasn't an avid watcher, but I caught an episode now and again. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI remember the show but never watched it. Don't watch a lot of TV.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your TV show pick for the Underrated Treasures Blogfest. I do remember this show. Commercial previews of it anyways as I never watched the show.
ReplyDeleteI remember that!! I never watched it but thought it looked really good.
ReplyDeleteI never got into that show, but I know those who did were hooked big time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in my blogfest!
I only got to see the first few episodes of the series before my kids were born and forever changed my watching habits. Now I don't get to sit down and watch anything anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good show, what I got to see of it. :)
I never saw this though I've heard good things about it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that show. I wish it had a greater following and stuck around a little longer. Still, terrific show.
ReplyDeleteNever saw it, but the cling wrap kisses are adorable:)
ReplyDeleteA Treasure Trove of Music
Sounds like a great show.
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty cute! I keep checking Netflix today every time I see an underrated treasure I want to investigate ... and Netflix keeps letting me down ... but I'll give it another try.
ReplyDeleteI loved this show, too!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI never saw this, but I gave up TV back in '07, so that's probably why. Netflix to the rescue.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about the show, but I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing about it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it... never really watched it, though. Sounds good. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it and I like Lee Pace, so maybe I should watch this. I hope it's on Netflix!
ReplyDeleteI do remember seeing this show's promotions once but never saw an episode. It was too late at night.
ReplyDeleteI also never actually got around to seeing Pushing Daisies, although I've always wanted to. :-/
ReplyDeleteI never saw this, but I think I will have to check it out posthumously! :)
ReplyDeleteNever saw this, but looks interesting. I'm sure I have seen that premise used often.
ReplyDeleteI remember I thought this had one of the best pilots I've ever seen. The whole show was so creative! And Lee Pace as a total cutie. :D
ReplyDeleteOMG I love this show.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, trying to watch it without having pie in the house is just... just... cruel and unusual punishment! Must have pie. :)
Such a great show. I wish it lasted longer. Poor Ned. He needs to touch the show, just once, so it'll come back to life. ;)
Though, for a good time... watching Twilight Breaking Dawn 2... "OMG- it's the Pie Maker!!" And having people look at your friend that just shouted this... in the theater... filled with Twihards.
*happy sigh* Priceless.
