This is easily in the top three of the best new shows on television right now. Pushing Daisies is the story of Ned, a Pie Maker who with one single touch can bring people, animals and even plants back to life. However there are two complications involved, first if he touches the person again they die for good, second if they stay alive for more then one minute someone else takes their place as dead. So Ned this neurotic fellow who doesn't want to be emotionally attached to anyone gets in with a private investagator to solve crimes by asking the victims who killed them. Unfortunatly one time he finds the deceased his the one girl he kissed, his best friend when he was ten, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles. He brings her back and keeps her back but can not touch her again.
The first episode was incredibly witty and very imaginitive, it had beautiful landscapes, set design and costuming, it almost felt as if I was watching a tv show based on Big Fish. This show has everything a really good show needs and more. I can not sling enough praise at just the first episode, I believe it is currently on abc's website, so go watch it there now. I recommend this to everyone. My only hesitance on this show is how it'll survive, It can not lose quality or it'll fail. The other thing that it has going for it is that it's created and run by Bryan Fuller, this man has a lot of experience behind him with Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Voyager and season one of Heroes. Very good show, I'm looking forward to more.
