The Pie Hole from ‘Pushing Daisies’ goes on tour!

September

Aren’t a “Pushing Daisies” fan yet?

Would some free pie convince you?

Yes, in the hope that free food will drive more eyeballs to the quirkfest that is “Pushing Daisies,” ABC is driving Ned’s Pie Hole around the country in the days leading up to the show’s Oct. 1 premiere.

Waitresses on daisy bicycles will be driving around major U.S. cities in the coming weeks, directing folks to the temporary restaurant where they can sample pie, scoop up free gifts and check out clips from the show. Here’s where the “Touch of Wonder” tour will show up next:

Sept. 10: Los Angeles, CA, Santa Monica Third Street Promenade

Sept. 12: Las Vegas, NV, FashionShow Mall

Sept. 14: Phoenix, AZ, Westgate Complex

Sept. 17: Denver, CO, Larimer Square

Sept. 20: Dallas, TX, Addison Oktober Fest

Sept. 24: Chicago, IL, Lincoln Park

Sept. 26: Philadelphia, PA, The Shops at Liberty Place

Sept. 29: New York, NY, Times Square

And for those who just can’t wait for Season 2 to start? Click through for a few sneak peek photos and the just-released synopsis of the season premiere…and PSST, is anyone thinking this bee-based company sounds an awful lot like Burt’s Bees?

Here’s what our wacky gang of death-defying detectives will be up to when the new season of “Pushing Daisies” kicks off:

Chuck goes undercover as a ‘Bee Girl’ at a honey-based cosmetics company after their new spokesmodel (guest star Autumn Reeser) is stung to death. She soon discovers that office politics are killer (literally) between the founder (guest star Missi Pyle as Betty Bee) and the new owner (guest star French Stewart as Woolsey Nicholls). Meanwhile, Ned can’t stand her growing independence, or the fact that she wants to move out of his apartment. In other developments, Lily spirits Olive off to a nunnery so she won’t spill Lily’s deep, dark secret.

And let’s take a look at a few key scenes from that episode (just click the photo to enlarge). Loving those creepy honeycombs!
