Pilot McViews: Pushing Daises/Bionic Woman

Pushing Daisies: Expectations were high for this ABC show, especially since my favourite critics have been in love with it for months. Unfortunately, I just wasn’t feeling the love. I wanted to, so bad. The show’s quirkiness didn’t work for me and I didn’t really feel much chemistry from the cast. Great premise, a very fun twist on procedurals. Felt like a waste of Kristin Chenoweth’s talents. I’ll definitely give the next few episodes a shot, but based on the pilot, I’m not in love.

Bionic Woman: When you find yourself more interested in a supporting character, than the lead, there might be a little problem. That’s how I found myself with Bionic Woman and Katee Sackoff as the first Bionic model gone very bad. The family link was weak, but announced recasting/reshoots should fix that. The sped up running just bothered me, looked a little cheese. A very solid show that’s obviously just working out the kinks.

Full reviews of both shows to come within the next few days.
