From FayObserver:

Chi McBride is one of those underrated TV actors. He’s toiled away in mostly mediocre films, and when he shines on TV — such as in “Boston Public,” “House” and now “Pushing Daisies” (8 p.m. ABC) — he doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. But TV is where he is meant to be. In his “Pushing Daisies” role as Emerson, the P.I., he makes me laugh with every one-liner about his penchant for knitting or his taste for rhubarb pie. Want more Chi? You can find lots of him in today’s schedule. He is in the films “I, Robot” (5:30 p.m. FX), “Waiting,” (7:55 p.m. Showtime) and “Let’s Go to Prison” (8:30 p.m. Cinemax). Yes, I warned you they were mediocre.
