Pushing Daisies

American dramedy -- called a "forensic fairy tale" by creator Bryan Fuller -- that first aired in October 2007 on ABC. It recounts the story of Ned, a pie maker who can bring the dead back to life by touching them, with two caveats: a second touch means permanent death, and reviving someone for too long means someone nearby will die. With the help of a private investigator, Ned uses this ability to solve murder cases for reward money, but the scheme is complicated when one of the victims he revives is his childhood sweetheart.
