pushing daisies

Pushing Daisies is an upcoming American television comedy-drama created by Bryan Fuller who also serves as executive producer alongside Bruce Cohen, Dan Jinks and Barry Sonnenfeld. The pilot episode was also directed by Sonnenfeld, whose last series television project for ABC was the 1998 revival of Fantasy Island.

Produced by Warner Bros. Television, the series was greenlit and given a thirteen-episode order by ABC on May 11, 2007, and is currently scheduled to air on Wednesday nights at 8:00/7:00c beginning on October 3, 2007, leading into the Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Private Practice. It will also air on CTV and ITV1 in Canada and the United Kingdom respectively.


PLOT

Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with a mysterious ability to make the dead live again. The gift is not without its complications, however: if he touches this being a second time, they'll be dead permanently. If they live for more than 60 seconds, somebody else nearby will die. (Quote: "It's a random proximity thing"). It's a gift that he puts in good use to help a private investigator friend, Emerson Cod and his childhood sweetheart, the once-dead Charlotte "Chuck" Charles.
