Critically acclaimed, but cancelled, Pushing Daisies lasted for two seasons. The story centers around an eccentric pie maker who has the ability to raise the dead with his touch (but the drawback is that they can only stay alive for one minute or someone else will die). He then partners with a private detective who uses this ability to solve crimes and then collect the reward money. The pie maker finds out that his childhood sweetheart is murdered and not only sets out to solve her crime, but also raises her from the dead and keeps her alive (he can't touch her or else she will die again).
What ensues is a delightful fairytale forensic that is breathtaking to see due to its special effects and expansive set designs. The show had way too interesting of a plot to last on network television, my hope was that another network (possibly cable) would pick up the show. That didn't happen, but the story is going to continue as a comic for now. Not my ideal way for the story to continue, but at least it does continue. Maybe the comics will be successful and then they will make a movie.
