Pushing Daisies

Pushing Daisies
By Isela Reyes
What do you get when you combine a guy with freaky abilities, a girl who is alive but supposed to be dead, a private investigator who is not above using shady tactics to collect a reward and a bubbly waitress? You get a new hit TV show called Pushing Daisies.
Pushing Daisies is a show about a boy named Ned who realized he had the ability to revive dead people simply by touching them. But he soon realized that his ability was not without its pitfalls. If he touched that person a second time then they would die again, permanently. If he chose to leave them alive, it would result in the death of another person within close proximity. Fast forward a couple years and Ned has used his abilities to open up a pie shop. When a private investigator accidentally discovers Ned’s abilities, he convinces him to help him solve murder cases and in exchange he will split the reward money. But Ned’s life changes when one case leads him to his childhood crush…dead. Ned brings Chuck back to life and chooses to keep her alive. After solving her case, Chuck goes back with Ned to work in his pie shop and help solve the murder cases.
This show has got all the elements needed to make it a hit. It’s got a fresh new plot that is unlike anything out today, which help to give it its own sense of uniqueness. It’s great cast, amazing narration and creative writers mix together to give you a show that’s like a fresh breath of air compared to everything out their today.
If you are looking for a break from all the criminal, drama, and played out comedies, then Pushing Daisies is the show for you. I never watched Pushing Daisies until this assignment, although my sister tunes in to it religiously, but since watching it, I know where I am going to be every Wednesday night at eight.
