Pushing Daisies will always remind me of being pregnant with Ida and the first weeks after she was born. We watched the first season on DVD and then followed the second season as it aired.
I am so sentimental. Not long after an era has passed, it becomes this perfect little crystallized memory. I can picture sitting on the couch snuggling Ida in those early weeks, talking with Hester or Matt or my mom late into the night and sometimes passing Ida around. Or sometimes desperately trying to get her to stop crying, but I prefer to remember the cozy chats.
Pushing Daisies was kind of a silly show, but it's one thing that I associate with that time. Similarly, I associate Scrubs with Theo's newborn days. (the musical episode...) Rarely as life is happening do I think, "I am going to miss this when it's gone." I guess that's a good thing, because I'm too busy enjoying it at the time.
Or perhaps too busy looking forward to the next thing. The next thing, in this case, being Ida as a full-blown baby. She's definitely no newborn. Not as snuggly but, happily, more independent and still so very sweet.
Anyway, if we ever get nostalgic about fall '08, we'll always have 2 seasons of Chuck, the pie-maker, Emerson Cod, and Olive Snook to bring the memories back.
BTW the final 3 episodes of Pushing Daisies will air on ABC beginning May 30.
I've never seen Pushing Daisies -but I remember watching the musical episode of Scrubs when I was there when Theo was born.
ReplyDeleteI'm truly out of loop, aren't I?
(Musical Scrubs was pretty funny.)
I am so sad that Pushing Daisies is ending. So, so sad.
ReplyDeleteI too am very sad that Pushing Daisies is ending.. although I thought it already ended which made me sad. I am happy to know there will be three more episodes. I LOVE that show!
ReplyDeleteI think you would probably like Pushing Daisies, Mom. It's kinda corny, but cute and funny.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I could figure out how to work our T.V. I would watch it more often.
ReplyDeleteI always need assistance navigating the various remotes and dials that have to be set just so!
I have the same tv-time period associations. Scrubs is the winter of 07, making pot roast most nights. Alias is winter of 05, fixing up our fixer-upper house. It gets sort of pathetic so I will just stop there.
ReplyDeleteI wonder sometimes if it is true for everyone that the past is remembered for all the good it gave us and we forget the bad. It seems to be the case, which is probably a good thing.
I am way too sentimental, too. I love this post. I think you have a quotable in here: Not long after an era has passed, it becomes this perfect little crystallized memory. So true.
