PUSHING DAISIES: SERIES PREMIERE-OCT 2, 2007

Dear God, this show was so hyped that it almost made me not want to watch it. But I did and was pleasantly surprised. I might not catch it every week, but maybe from time to time.

The premise goes a little something like this: one day, young Ned discovers he can bring the dead back to life, but there are some repercussions-if the formerly dead stay alive for more than one minute, someone has to die in their place and if they touch Ned again, bye-bye. Sadly, it was time for Ned's mom to die. He brings her back, only to have his best friend Charlotte's-aka Chuck-dad to kick the bucket. Later that night, Ned's mom kisses him good night and promptly dies. Chuck goes to live with her eccentric aunts and Ned is sent to boarding school (?).

Twenty years later, Ned is a pie maker and is also quite stand-offish. Ned also helps the local P.I. solve cases by bringing the victims back to life for a minute. The duo then split the rewards. Still with me? Chuck is having a bad time, though. She has been murdered. At the funeral parlor, Ned impulsively brings Chuck back to life. The funeral director takes her place. Now Ned can never touch his love again. How will they survive? And who (tried) to kill Chuck? Find out on Pushing Daisies this fall on ABC.
