Every
not-so-often, along comes a show that's different. Wonderfully
different. Pushing Daisies, TV Guide's Matt Roush writes, "restores
my faith in TV's ability to amuse, enchant and entertain." It's the
story of Ned, a lonely pie maker whose touch can reanimate the dead.
Cool, but there's a hitch. If Ned touches the person again, the
miracle is reversed. If he doesn't, a bystander goes toes up. What
to do? Easy: Team with a private eye, bring murder victims back just
long enough to discover whodunit, and collect the rewards. Things go
well until Ned's boyhood sweetie is the next dear departed, and he
can't resist bringing her back for keeps! Dig the wit, style and
quirky romance: If you're not laughing, you may need a visit from
Ned. Starring Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Jim Dale,
