2007

Pushing Daisies (ABC, Wednesays at 8 P.M.) is one of the quirkiest, most-inventive shows I have come across in a long time.

I watch a lot of TV - and will "sample" just about anything, sans horror junk and soap operas, so that I can figure out what works for me.

Thus my wife and I sat down in September and tried Pushing Daisies.

Granted the plot - a piemaker has the power to touch a dead person and bring them back to life for one full minute - was very off the wall - but I was intrigued by the style of the show none the less.

One hour later, we were both hooked!

Everyhting about the show - from the set design to the fast-paced, very witty dialogue - make it destination TV.

And, as in one of my other favorite shows, Burn Notice - the voice-over narrative makes it that much more entertaining. It's as if Dr. Seuss where reading out loud from Fox in Sox or one of his other classics!

Invest at least two hours - for two episodes - in Pushing Daisies - it may take you that long to catch up!

What at great find in a wasteland of poor comedies and me-too police procedurals.

Funny, witty, with a murder mystery a week wrapped up into one hour. Pushing Daisies is one show that I thank my cable company that I have TIVO!
