Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" on ABC premiering in the fall of 2007 that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with a mysterious ability to make the dead live again. The gift is not without its complications, however: if he touches this being a second time, they'll be dead permanently. If they live for more than 60 seconds, somebody else nearby will die. (Quote: "It's a random proximity thing"). It's a gift that he puts in good use to help a private investigator friend, Emerson Cod and his childhood sweetheart, the once-dead Charlotte "Chuck" Charles.
Great but not my cup of tea. Good but not good enough. Just plain bad. Cancelled too soon to tell. Not enough hours in the day. Shows I tried and abandoned.
