Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with a mysterious ability to make the dead briefly live again. The gift is not without its complications, as if he touches this being once again, they'll be dead permanently. If he doesn't touch them at all within sixty seconds, they continue, but someone other than the deceased will die. It's a gift that he puts in good use to help a private investigator friend, Emerson Cod and his childhood spirit, the once dead Charlotte "Chuck" Charles.

The show features actor Lee Pace in the central role of Ned. The series reunites Pace with creator Fuller; the two worked together on the critically acclaimed series, Wonderfalls.



I just saw the Pushing Daisies pilot and I liked it a lot. I like the storytelling and the story itself, but I'm afraid the story might be dragged out a lot, but we'll see. I for one can't wait for upcoming episodes.
