Pushing Daisies

(Wednesday, 8/7 central ABC)

This show is amazing. It's beautiful and the attention to detail is ungodly. Seriously, give it a chance. You can go to ABC.com to watch any episode(s) you may have missed. It's the story of Ned, a shy pie maker, who has a secret gift/curse. He can raise people from the dead BUT there are rules. Once he touches the dead, he has one minute to speak with them (keep them alive) or another living thing near by dies. Once he touches them again, he/she/it dies permanently.

He begins his business, The Pie Hole, and when it is in financial trouble he and private investigator, Emerson Cod, make a deal. Emerson finds out about murders and unsolved cases and Ned touches the victim. The victim wakes up, tells who killed him/her and the two collect the reward. All is well for the two until Charlotte Charles' body is found.

Before he ever knew all the rules, he accidentally killed Charlotte's (Chuck), his childhood sweetheart, dad. And he killed his own mom- kinda. Chuck has never left his thoughts and when he goes to touch her, he can't re-touch her, killing her forever. He brings her back home and tells her about his gift but not about her father. They can NEVER touch or she will die.

It is such a unique show. The writing is fantastic!! Give this one a chance because I have it on good authority that it's sticking around.
