(S01E02) OK, I am now ever so slightly worried about Pushing Daisies.Oh, don't get me wrong: there was plenty to like about the second episode of the most praised new show of the season. But there were two things that got me and every person concerned about this show's long-term future: a) Would the show get too cute (or twee, if closet Brit Anna Friel was discussing it. Alan Sepinwall was the first critic to use the term for the show, and I think it fits perfectly) for its own good, and b) would Barry Sonnenfeld's rumored budget overruns sink the show in its later episodes?
After watching "Dummy," my answers right now are a) it might if it's not careful, and b) it's starting to look that way.
