"Pushing Daisies" sounds interesting

[catalyst2]

I had heard a little about Bryan Fuller's latest series - enough to get me listening but not quite enough to get me really interested. This description from Dark Horizons has definitely got my attention now.


Pushing Daisies
(Romance/Crime, Wednesdays 8pm)
It is a love story about a young man with a very special gift...the ability to return someone dead briefly back to life with just a simple touch. Ned (Lee Pace), a mild-mannered baker of fabulous pies, discovered his gift as a child.

Now he puts his gift to good use, working with his only friend, a private investigator (Chi McBride), to crack murder cases by asking victims to name their killers. But the tale gets complicated, as all tales do, when he saves his childhood sweetheart (Anna Friel) and she miraculously stays alive.

Each week, she encourages him to use his powers to solve mysteries and help others. Life would be perfect, except for one cruel twist: if Ned ever touches her again, she'll lose the life he gave her, for good this time. There's always a catch. Barry Sonnenfeld & Bryan Fuller executive produce. Swoosie Kurtz, Jim Dale and Kristin Chenoweth also star.

Hrmm, that does sound interesting. I need to keep an eye open for this.

I've heard great things about this show. This and Bionic Woman are the shows I'm most looking forward to. Plus it has Lee Pace in it! I just saw him playing a child molester in an old Law & Order SVU episode. Very creepy.

Last night, I saw a trailer from Bionic Woman for the rooftop fight between Katee Sackhoff and Michelle somebody-or-other and was quite impressed. No 80's style "powerchords from a training montage" or anything - looked quite gritty and rough (but in a cool way)!
