Pushing Daisies Recycling Footage From Groundhog Day
File this one under “huh?” For some reason the establishing shot of the kid with the bad heart’s house on Pushing Daisies this past week was the view from Bill Murray’s window when he finally gets to the next day on Groundhog Day. Here are the two shots:
Groundhog Day:

Pushing Daisies:

The only difference is the lone pedestrian in the distance.
It seems like an odd choice, since it’s such a memorable shot. Bill Murray looks out that window several times throughout the movie and every time it’s the same except this one. It’s how he proves to himself that it’s really the next day. Maybe someone on the show just likes Groundhog Day.
Also, apparently Groundhog Day was remade in Italy a few years ago.
