It was 1986, and the movie wasn't a remake. It was a campy B-movie made by Frank Oz. (A Muppet man. Fozzie. Gonzo.) The music is by Howard Ashman, who gave us "The Little Mermaid." (One of my favorite things to do when I do that show is mess with Audrey by switching back and forth between "Somewhere that's Green" and "Part of Your World." They're pretty much the same song!)

Here's the kicker, Savvy--the movie came first. It was one of the first cases of a musical coming from a movie.

Looks like a grayt show. Kristen Chinoweth is a funny woman. Wish I got that channel...

Ummm http://imdb.com/title/tt0054033/ The orginal was released in 1960.

Ellen Greene as Audrey (I) is the only member of the Off-Broadway cast to appear in this film. (Source http://imdb.com/title/tt0091419/trivia) Other than that I'm not 100% sure about the order, but I always thought it was getting a buzz as a show an became a movie, again. Can't remember what I heard that makes me think that, I could just be assuming it.

But that would still make you right. :biggrin: I think it was a movie, and play, and then a movie. So it was a movie first!? :D

Well, knock me down and call me stupid! That's what I get for acting like I know everything... :clap:

Nevermind, then! :biggrin:

I loved the characters and the actors who portrayed them, and the clever storyline. The overall quirkyness of the show I guess. Like my daughter said it has everything I want...it's a little sick and twisted with a love story too. :cool:

OL, :floor:!
I just think everything about it is so well done--the concept is unique as well as interesting, the casting is perfect, the sets are visually interesting, the camera shots are kooky and creative, the writing is funny...shall I go on and continue to sound like a geek? :lol:

OL, I have to say I look forward to their makeovers as much as the ANTM makeovers. A couple of the guys were transformed! :yikes:This morning I panicked, thinking L'il Pea #2 was going to have a volleyball game interfering with "Daisies." She doesn't. Whew. I wasn't sure how to explain that Mom was going to stay home to watch TV. :floor:

I've been waiting all week too. Just remember you can watch full episodes on abc.com! I missed the first one and that's how I caught up.

I can't remember all their names but I think John..homecoming king is so cute and then the guy that went home. OMGosh the one with the velcro shoes and glasses, the larperdude...he looks better but he will never not be a geek...he cracks me up with the way he talks.

I think my favorite team are the blondies. (the girl with the really blond hair and then they dyed his platinum)

ABC pushing more "Daisies"​

By Nellie Andreeva October 23, 2007 at 7:06 pm​

ABC has picked up the fantasy comedy-drama "Pushing Daisies" for a full season.

The "back-nine" order brings the total order for the freshman series to 22 episodes.

In its first three airings, "Daisies" has been a solid ratings performer, winning its Wednesday 8 p.m. hour in the adults 18-49 demographic.

It also earned the strongest reviews of any new series this year. Lee Pace stars as a piemaker who can bring people back from life by touching them, and can them dispatch them again with a second touch.
