One television show I have enjoyed watching is "Pushing Daisies." It is shot much like a movie, with vibrant colors, creative, imaginative shots and sets and special effects. My favorite thing about the series, along with its quirky characters and humor, is that there are many different scenes where the characters sing as if they were in a musical. My favorite character is Olive, who is played by Kristin Chenoweth, and her voice is absolutely incredible. She has a huge singing range and majored in opera in college. The show is based on pie-maker Ned who has the ability to touch a dead being/person and bring them back to life. However, if he touches the person twice, then they are permanently dead. Ned ends up helping solve murder cases with private investigator Emerson Cod and split the reward money to help him finance his failing Pie shop. Ned ends up saving the love of his life and childhood friend from death, but they can never touch as that would kill her. This is a wonderfully creative show with interesting characters that give a creative spin on 'real life.' It is a shame that more television shows aren't like this! It is certainly a welcome relief from reality television (for me, anyway). I suggest you watch this great (but unfortnately cancelled) show! Here are a few of my favorite moments:
