Pushing Daisies Review Summary

Come listen to the story of a man named Ned, with the touch of his finger he can bring you back from dead. See, Ned is a simple pie maker with a not-so-simple gift. His mere touch can bring a person back from the dead. The catch is the person he brings back is revived for more than one minute, something else must die in its place to keep the balance. Also, if he touches the person again within the minute, they can never be brought back again. Having been unable to resist the temptation to bring his long lost childhood friend back when he discovers her murdered, he also refused to touch her again within a minute so he would not have to lose her again. As a result, her father drops dead. This information is unknown to her even though she knows she is alive because of Ned's touch. Add to this that Ned can never touch her again or she will die forever and you have what has been described as, "one of the quirkiest, most-inventive shows I have come across in a long time." Pushing Daisies is whimsical, dark and romantic in a colorful, fairy tale setting. This is fantasy with a dark side that, "While the plot line of bring dead things to life may seem a little dark, the humor, romance, and even the colorful way it is filmed can still keep your heart light while they are solving murder cases." Reviewers rave, "What at great find in a wasteland of poor comedies and me-too police procedural."
