Catch a Sneak Peak of "Pushing Daisies" ... in a Cemetery

Still haven't seen the highly anticipated fall series Pushing Daisies?

If you haven't and live in LA (or are conveniently situated to drive to said locale), ABC is hosting a sneak preview screening of the pilot for forensic fairy tale Pushing Daisies next week.

Fittingly, the Pushing Daisies event will take place at Hollywood Forever cemetery, which--if you've never been there--is the perfect place for a late night summer film. Select members of the cast and crew will be hand to introduce the event, which promises to be highly entertaining.

Details below for the Pushing Daisies screening.

What: Pushing Daisies Sneak Peek

When: Thursday, August 16th at 8 pm

Where: Hollywood Forever Cemetery
6000 Santa Monica Blvd.
Hollywood, CA 90038

Trust me, this is one event you don't want to miss. And, if that weren't enough incentive, ABC promises "special treats" for some attendees. Hmmm, pie perhaps?

I haven't seen the pilot yet and this sounds like fun. I live in Santa Barbara so will probably drive in during the afternoon. Do events like these fill up pretty quickly?

That is very cool!

But wah - I will be out of town.

I am so there. Sounds like a blast.

@Geek Chick. I would recommend getting there very early for this. The movie screenings always get really full really fast and the line of cars waiting to enter the cemetery tends to start getting very long more than an hour before it is supposed to start. So get there early and bring a picnic blanket and something to eat.

Jace,
Having already seen the pilot, and being lucky enough to having got my hands on a copy, I still won't pass up the opportunity to watch it in a cemetary! I've been wanting to check out a screening in the Hollywood Forever for a while, and this is something I can't pass up.
Now if only I can find some friends to come along, since the wife will be out of town.
One more thing, Is it best to bring camping chairs or just a blanket to lie on?

This is such a great idea! I've been to one screening at Hollywood Forever and it was so much fun. And what a perfect place to show Pushing Daisies. I'm sure it will be crazy, though, so I definitely recommend getting there early and, Cinemaniac, you can bring camping chairs and that may be more comfortable.

Have a Burning Question for Team Darlton, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, or Michael Emerson?

Lost fans: you don't have to make your way to the island via Ajira Airways in order to ask a question of the creative team or the series' stars. Televisionary is taking questions from fans to put to Lost 's executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and stars Matthew Fox ("Jack Shephard"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate Austen"), and Michael Emerson ("Benjamin Linus") for a series of on-camera interviews taking place this weekend. If you have a specific question for any of the above producers or actors from Lost , please leave it in the comments section below . I'll be accepting questions until midnight PT tonight and, while I can't promise I'll be able to ask any specific inquiry due to the brevity of these on-camera interviews, I am looking for some insightful and thought-provoking questions to add to the mix. So who knows: your burning question might get asked after all.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season ...

See You in Another Life: Thoughts on The Series Finale of Lost

"No one can tell you why you're here." I'm of two minds (and two hearts) about the two-and-a-half hour series finale of Lost ("The End"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and directed by Jack Bender, which brought a finality to the story of the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 and the characters with which we've spent six years. At its heart, Lost has been about the two bookends of the human existence, birth and death, and the choices we make in between. Do we choose to live together or die alone? Can we let go of our past traumas to become better people? When we have nothing else left to give, can we make the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good? In that sense, the series finale of Lost brought to a close the stories of the crash survivors and those who joined them among the wreckage over the course of more than 100 days on the island (and their return), offering up a coda to their lives and their deaths, a sort of purgatory for found, r...
