For those in the UK, this series is on this Saturday on ITV1 at about 9pm.
It looks to be comedy, about a man who can with a touch bring the dead back to life, but if he touches them again they die.
He uses his powers to help catch criminals by bringing the victim back to life to be questioned before returning them to being dead.
Problems start when his girlfriend ends up dead, and he brings her back - but now he cannot touch her again!
The clip I saw looked pretty funny. So I'm going to give it a go and watch it this saturday.

Watched the first episode when it repeated on Monday. Thought it was Great!
Loved how they did it, with the voice over and the vivid colour look. The script was good, and their speach pattens reminded me faintly of those Dr Zues books, Cat in a hat and the others. They had a similar rythem in parts I thought.
Looking forward to the next episode.

I love Pushing Daisies. I've seen 'em all (god bless the internet). But then it is from the pen of the genius, Bryan Fuller of Dead Like Me & Wonderfalls - the King of quirky tv. It manages to be very funny, very weird, but also very sweet all at the same time. Great cast - especially Chi McBride as the grumpy, sarcastic Emmerson Cod and the lovely and oh so dreamy Anna Friel as lonely tourist Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles. And not forgetting Digby the dog and the wonderful Jim Dale narration. Perfect. UK viewers beware...ITV are dropping episode 2 because they only have enought time to show eight episodes and not all nine due to the football starting soon. Episode 2 is called 'Dummy' and revolves around a new car running on dandelions, crash test dummies and a murder. It's not the best of the season, but it's still very good and has the wonderful bit of Olive the waitress in full on unrequited love mode singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" ;D www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbe1m30RS8c |

Why don't they take off an episode of the Bill or some other crap like that and show the 2nd episode of it instead of that??? |

I agree, I 'm a football fan but I'm sure they could find space for Pushing Daisies if they got rid of some of the other trash they show on TV these days.
Let's look at tonights primetime UK schedule; we can watch Eastenders, a bunch of gardeners talking about gardening, a wealthy couple looking for a new property which we could never afford ourselves (fascinating!), or Emmerdale. Or we could just sit and stare at the wall for a couple hours. I know which gets my vote.

I would have no problems at all with them removing any of these depressing, unrealistic soaps from tv. It's no wonder the suicide rate is so high!

They should introduce a werewolf into emmerdale, and have it eat half the people in a gorefest bloodbath of excitement.

They had a plane crash right onto the village a few years back and whilst that did eradicate a few of the arseholes they just replaced them with brand new arseholes. Plus i wouldn't subject a werewolf to the snorefest live that is living in Emmerdale. It would be cruelty to animals. |

Personally I think a large pentagram with candles would look smashing on the walls of the Woolpack. Only way I'd ever watch it.

Anyone watch the episode last night called 'The Fun in Funeral'?
I love that episode.
Chuck [to Emerson who's stuck in a small window]: Are you stuck?
Emerson: No.
Chuck: Yes, you are. You're like Winnie-the-Pooh. Gimme your paws, Pooh.
Chuck [trying to pull Emerson out of the window]: Remember, "Mind over matter makes Pooh unfatter."
Emerson: I may be stuck, but I can still reach my gun.
Chi McBride is so funny as Emerson, and Anna Friel is simply adorable as Chuck.
