Pushing Daisies:
I'm so enamored by this TV show that I almost don't know what to do with myself. It's got the charm of Big Fish mixed in with the sentimentality of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind, and the wit of Being John Malkovich.
I'll attempt to explain:
Ned's a piemaker. Ned has a talent: he can revive someone who's dead with a touch, but he has to touch them again within 60 seconds or else someone else nearby will also die.
So the dude teams up with a private investigator to revive people who have died, found out how they died, and collect any rewards. Except he does this once with a girl he used to have a crush on, and doesn't have the heart to touch her again (her funeral director then kicks the bucket).
Anyways, the show is smart, wry, and I love it so far. You can already tell that its either going to be a massive hit or go the way of other amazing shows...........which is to say, in the bin.
