Comments for: "Pushing Daisies on ABC" http://www.rhinocity.net/rhinocity/single/pushing-daisies-on-abc/ I found out that the pilot episode of the new ABC series Pushing Daisies was in the wild (read torrented) and given my frenzied anticipation, immediately downloaded it.  And I’m glad I did, though watching it early just means I have to wait a week longer to find out what happens next. This is my kind of show. It’s quirky, funny, well written and visually arresting.  The dialogue is fast, think Gillmore Girls only it doesn’t wear out its welcome (or rather, think Wonderfalls, but I doubt you’ve seen that.) The story centers around a young man, Ned the piemaker, who has a gift, not given to him by anyone in particular, where he can bring someone (or thing) to life merely by touching them. The problem being that if he touches them again they die instantly, never to revive.  And if he doesn’t touch them within one minute, someone else dies taking their place “it’s a random proximity thing,” he explains.

It sounds like it will be pretty good, definitely not your average sit-com. With the Gilmore Girls comparison (although it was more a dis than anything) I’ll definitely have to give it a try!
