And we might never understand why this show got cancelled. It is such a funny, cute, familiy-friendly show. Hoping for a reunion soon!

[@SacredDaturana]

Wow, I can't even imagine anyone else as Ned the Piemaker. And that role was so memorable that every time I see Lee Pace in anything I think 'hey, there's the Piemaker'.

[@bloodedlunacy8538]

It was funny when the moderator asked Pace if he hit puberty to which he responds "Lucky you." and then makes that "Why do I say those things out loud?" face. XD

... 6 years, ah if only, i would pay any amount of money to get the show back for 6yrs :( pushing daisies = epic

[@wolfdreamer3]

I miss this show so much!!! I cried when I heard it was going to be cancelled. I still can't believe it!!!

[@unipachu]

I just bought the first season, before that I had only listened to the (incredible) soundtrack, but after seeing the actual show, fuck, this is one of the best TV shows I have ever seen, gotta see all another seasons!

[@kgblenin]

How can a network be so stupid to cancel an Emmy winning show .. I mean dear god, it is like they don't want to make money. Hope someone else picks up the show

[@Ichelzu]

bring back pushing daisies!!

[@zapkvr]

I wish they would put Lee in something. I miss him.

[@lottelarsen2918]

0.24 ohhhh Lee 😂❤

[@TheRealRayeLynn]

I just want to fix his collar.. I didn't hear a word he said.. That damned collar!!!

[@priscilagiovanella7054]

Does he say he thinks Ned is "the same character" he played in Wonderfalls? Because I think they're very different

[@essymuffins]

I agree with you. Aaron Tyler in Wonderfalls and Ned the pie maker in Pushing Daisies don't have much similarities really. I see them as two different types of characters but they were both awesome to watch develop through the course of these two wonderful shows! Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies definitely deserved more seasons...such refreshingly quirky shows that made you feel good with such brilliant character development and story arcs!

[@Wack.d]

1:19 "And you sign on potentially for six years..." ...so that's why I decided, "If I'm going to do TV again it's gotta be with Bryan Fuller. I'll be in and out in two years or less, guaranteed. And then maybe I'll see what Tim Minear's doing."

[@ChristinVerma]

because when he said "there's the mike" his voice went all low like when you go through puberty.

[@Soni758]

NO! Lee can do so much better than a bloody vampire... (no pun intended) But seriously... down with Twilight... bring on Pushing Daisies the movie! I've searched and filled in all the petition forms I could find..

[@zapkvr]

@xiaojay888 Never heard of it. Not on television in Australia and unlikely given what they did to PD.

[@mireillemaddah]

@ChristinVerma ohhhh got it now!

[@veronihika]

[@luvvylaura24]

[@zapkvr]
