Pushing Daisies

Pushing_daisies01Pushing Daisies is a romantic black comedy with a fantastic premise. It features Ned, a man with a gift; his touch brings the dead back to life. Problem is, his next touch kills them again... Permanently.

PI Emerson Cod convinces Ned to help him by bringing murder victims back to life - briefly - so that they can name their killers.

It's airing on ABC in the US at the moment and since I don't live there - and it isn't on DVD, yet - I haven't seen it. I am, however, going to go right out on a limb and recommend you look out for it.

Why? Because Jennifer Crusie loves it and that, for me, is enough.

(FYI: Things I have watched and loved on Crusie's say-so: Buffy, Angel, Firefly, 10 Things I Hate About You.)

So. There you have it.

    Tim Burton is a good comparison, we always think Dr. Seuss when we watch it! I&#39m a huge fan from the first ep. And I must say Jennifer and I have the same taste, I love all those shows that you listed!

    I love Pushing Daisies!

    It reminds me of Tim Burton for some reason.

  • I absolutely adore this show. Love the retro look, the occasional musical numbers (finally, producers realize what they have in their cast when they hire Broadway greats), the dog, the clothes. Watching this show makes my heart grow several sizes each week.

    It&#39s a great show, highly stylised but thankfully not overly twee. I&#39m a complete fan of Anna Friel&#39s dresses also, very retro!

    Yay! Yay! Thanks Keris!
