Pushing Daisies

This is one of my favorite tv-series. It tells the tale of Ned, who has a unique ability. He can bring the dead back to life. But there’s a catch. If he touches something or someone again, they will be dead for good. Something, or someone? Yeah, Ned’s ability is not limited to humans. It can be a dead fruit or an insect. As Ned later finds out that his ability to revive the dead should be limited to 2 minutes only, or else the revived will stay alive for good and anyone nearby will be dead. Ned runs a pie shop called the Pie Hole which serves the best pies. He occasionally helps Emerson Cod, a detective in solving crimes and/or murders by reviving the dead and asking them information like who killed them. Chuck also has to deal with her two aunts who doesn’t know she’s alive (well, revived by Ned) and I’m pretty sure later on in the series they will find out. Ned, meanwhile has an obsessed neighbor named Olive who also works at the Pie Hole, relishing every possible opportunity to get close to him.
The series centers on only a few characters but I just find this series adorable. The environment looks like it’s set up for a school play. Everything is so cartoon-like. The crime solving episodes are also good. And Chuck’s so cute. The storyteller knows how to narrate events, same as how the series, Desperate Housewives does it, it keeps me glued to each episode. Poor Ned. I know both he and Chuck are itching to get it on, even kiss. But knowing Ned’s ability, either of them can’t risk doing that and had to control the urge. The best way that they were able to hold hands was having a plastic sheet in between them. That was so cute!
