“Pushing Daisies centers on Ned, a nervous piemaker played by the ever-so-delightful Lee Pace. He has been gifted/cursed with the ability to reanimate the dead simply by touching them. If he doesn't touch them again after one minute to send them back into an eternal slumber, someone else within close proximity to the dead will have to pay the price. He mostly uses this skill to revive rotting fruit to make delicious pies he can never consume, although the canny and financially-savvy P.I. Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) offers him a strange deal: help him to solve murders and he'll split the reward money.”
The show is quirky, funny, and shot in bright technicolor with whimsical sets that somehow look both mid-century and futuristic. It’s a show I always come back to when I need a break from more serious programming.
