"We're motorin'!"

They must've really had to do every trick in the book to get this down for time, they even played a lot of the scenes literally run faster! Pshew, I'm exhausted

Wow, for once there's a TV show that doesn't spread a secret out the entire season. Excellent episode, with some great one-liners.

That's one of the things I LOVED about season one and that really won me over, was that every time a secret became the focal point, the series addressed it head on instead of tip-toeing around "Will they/Won't they"s. I was very happy to see it make a comeback tonite

Sign that a series is doomed: at the end, instead of showing promos for next week, they show promos for another show.

Emerson always does that...

"I'm Father Dowling. This is Father Mulcahy, and she's Sister Christan."

"Sister Christan is a heavy petting metal ballad!"

Olive's reaction to "top shelf feminine products" =

I love Pigby.


I wonder when Oscar (Paul Ruebens) will pop back up again?

Don't say that! You might be cursing us! We are not to address the elephant in the room, merely tip-toe around it.

Yea, what was up with that? I figured no new episode next week, but that doesn't seem to be the case!

Well, the show is doomed, but this happening was unrelated. ABC knew people were tuning in for the debates and they are pushing Life on Mars more than any other ABC show, so it makes sense to run a promo then.

Hey, in the good news category though, Pushing Daisies was up by 740,000 viewers last night

This has been happening on several shows lately. I don't think the lack of a "next week" promo during final credits means anything.

Do you think it caught the Bones audience interrupted by MLB?

Yes, and it's my understanding that Bones is in reruns for the rest of the month, which can only help. And ABC is holding out on the Obama buyout, which means they'd be the only network running original programming against him, so that too will likely boost Pushing Daisies among non-political viewers

First of all, I have determined that for me, Pushing Daisies is a 'lil slice of Heaven on the TV landscape. I mean damn, this show manages to choke me up, in a good way, every single week.

Shout out to casting for putting my girl Mo Collins in the role of "Sister LaRue".

The nun on the run bit was great and a nice touching ending.
I wonder how Digby is going to get along with Pigby?

I also liked how they had the tables in the convent arranged like a cross. Not very practical, but it was still funny.

Did anyone notice that this was the first show that didn't bring up the rules of Ned's powers near the show's open? About time, because screw non-existent "new" viewers by this point
