I haven't seen it yet. :) I hope they will bring it back.
All I have to say is:

LOVE. HER.

Did anyone else watch Pushing Daisies? She was perfect, hehe. Here are some clips of her in the show, but it's not as funny out of context warning, possible SPOILERS (honestly, i just don't remember, hehe):


My mom used to watch Pushing Daisies. I never had the opportunity to watch it, I think there was a show I liked that aired at the same time. lol
omg, I wasn't expecting this thread to exist. I adore Kristin Chenoweth, seriously. I've liked her since I first heard the Wicked soundtrack, I think, and she's just so sweet and adorable I can't even.

I saw her in Promises, Promises on Broadway two years ago! And then I watched GCB for her (and ended up enjoying it anyway, so I can't complain), but I don't think I could work up the nerve to watch her Glee episodes.

It sucks that GCB was cancelled, but then I just recently found out that three other Broadway stars I like are coming out with new TV shows, so I'm so excited for this.
