It would be hard to find a broadcast television series of recent years more thoroughly original than this one, but the ratings weren’t sufficient for ABC to nurture it for more than two years.
This set offers the final season of the fanciful saga of Ned ( Lee Pace), a pie maker with the ability to give or take life with one touch – making his relationship with the alluring Chuck (Anna Friel) complicated, to say the least.
The superb cast also includes Kristin Chenoweth, Chi McBride, Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene. Jim Dale is the narrator. *** DVD extras: four “making-of” documentaries. (Not rated: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray)

In “Pushing Daisies,” the offbeat ABC drama nearing its end, the costume designer Robert Blackman kept the protagonist — Ned (Lee Pace), a quiet crime-solving pie maker with the mystical life-restoring powers — at the center of a dizzying backdrop of hyper-saturated colors and storybook locations.
The hues in Ned’s wardrobe? Solid blacks, grays and whites. “That way, you never lose sight of him, no matter how bright the other clothes are,” Mr. Blackman, inset, said. He started on “Pushing Daisies” after the pilot episode and inherited a strict style bible devised by Barry Sonnenfeld, an executive producer of the show and the director of films including “Men in Black” and “The Addams Family.”
“They told me, ‘We want strong colors, very few pastels if any,” Mr. Blackman said, adding that using blue was tantamount to a high crime. “Barry will tell you this: He doesn’t like blue.” After that, though, Mr. Blackman, who previously spent 16 years with the “Star Trek” television franchise, could let his imagination wander. He had Chuck (Anna Friel), Ned’s once-cloistered love interest who is brought back from the dead with a magic kiss, constantly changing looks, while the detective played by Chi McBride (far right, with Ms. Friel, Mr. Pace and, in the chandelier, Shelley Berman) evolved into a noir dandy.
“The decades I’d dip into were the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, early ’70s, skip the ’80s and then come back to the ’90s until present day,” Mr. Blackman said, adding that he never had trouble locating his ground-floor office at Warner Brothers Studios. “There’d be racks outside of each office door, a symphony of black, brown, charcoal and navy. Then a series that were magenta, orange green, just zany colors. You could probably come in the dark and tell it was ours.”

WITH Pushing Daisies, the television genre that gave us the middling Medium, Ghost Whisperer and Heroes comes to the service of something very different; unrequited love, lolly-pop coloured scenery, whimsy, gags, eccentric characters and old-fashioned murder cases.
It’s all highly improbable, but like any good magic trick, it works.
When his dog is hit by a car, nine-year-old Ned discovers his unusual gift. His touch can bring the dead back to life.
Naturally for Pushing Daisies to prosper, the premise includes a few caveats. The first is that the dead can only be brought back to life for one minute; any longer, and another person in close proximity will take the newly undead’s place.
The second is that by touching the person who has been brought back to life one more time, they will die forever. … read more »

in 2007, ABC unveiled a unique and surprising television series as part of their line-up — “Pushing Daisies.”

Revolving around the life of Ned the Piemaker (Lee Pace) and his knack for resurrecting the dead, the show received substantial critical acclaim for its smooshing of colorful visuals, wacky concepts and absurd amounts of pie in what can only be described as a work of creative genius.

However, as a casualty of the industry-wide strike of the Writers Guild of America, the show came to an abrupt end and after a storming nine episodes promised a strong second season. … read more »
