Pushing Daisies: A Wonderful Treat
I just finished watching the pilot of a new ABC show called Pushing Daisies, and I have to say that I’m trying very hard not to gush about it.
Pushing Daisies has a very interesting plot in that lead character Ned, played by Lee Pace, can bring the dead back to life. When he touches a corpse, the person springs to life. When he touches them again, they go back to being dead. There is a caviate however. If he leaves a formerly-dead person alive more than 60 seconds, someone in their proximity dies instead. Quite the double-edged sword, that.

That does sound interesting. I will have to check it out, I am very picky when it comes to TV, it takes something really good to get into it, so if it keeps me, then it definitely is something special. If it doesn’t, that doesn’t mean its bad, it just means it didn’t capture me. It sounds like an interesting plot though. I hadn’t even heard of it until your discussion.

we made doody watch the second episode heheh
definitely is awesome
i’m not sure if it will live up to ‘dead like me’ in my eyes but we’ll just wait and see (i sure do like the trend of pretty gals with guys names – george and chuck haha)

Yeah I don’t think anything will live up to Dead Like Me, but it’s a nice standard to hold other shows to. And I totally didn’t pick up on the George/Chuck thing, very good point heheh.

I liked the comical style of this show quite a bit. I miss George’s potty mouth and cynical view of reality, being the bhudist that I am.
