Pushing Daisies- Complete 1st Season (Blu-ray)
 
Life. Death. And Life Again.
 
 
Features: DVD, Widescreen, English, Spanish, Subtitled
 
Every not-so-often, along comes a show that's different. Wonderfully different. Pushing Daisies, TV Guide's Matt Roush writes, "restores my faith in TV's ability to amuse, enchant and entertain." It's the story of Ned, a lonely pie maker whose touch can reanimate the dead. Cool, but there's a hitch. If Ned touches the person again, the miracle is reversed. If he doesn't, a bystander goes toes up. What to do? Easy: Team with a private eye, bring murder victims back just long enough to discover whodunit, and collect the rewards. Things go well until Ned's boyhood sweetie is the next dear departed, and he can't resist bringing her back for keeps! Dig the wit, style and quirky romance: If you're not laughing, you may need a visit from Ned.

This three disc collection includes all 9 episodes from The Complete First Season of Pushing Daisies!
 
"...whimsical, romantic, funny and visually distinctive...with loads of clever touches..."  Brian Lowry, Variety
"The most original, rewarding new TV series in years."  David Bianculli, New York Daily News
"...aims directly at senses and emotions...falling somewhere between "Amelie" and a Tim Burton film..."  Emrah Guler, Turkish Daily News
"The creative genius behind Showtime's "Dead Like Me" and FOX's "Wonderfalls" is back again with another cute, quirky, and dark dramedy."  Shawn McKenzie, Entertain Your Brain!
"...boundless energy, quirky style and delightful characters...a dark dramedy set in a fantastical Tim Burton-esque world..."  Steve Pepdjonovic, Slant Magazine

 


Editor's Note

Despite its candy colors and sweet romance, this inventive dramedy never veers into saccharine territory. Lee Pace (MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY) stars as Ned, a piemaker with a very special gift: he can bring dead things--from his dog Digby to rotting fruit to people--back to life with a simple touch. But the second he touches them again, they return to their previous state. If he doesn't, something else meets a dire fate. He uses his ability to solve murders and collect the reward with his business partner, a private detective named Emerson Cod (Chi McBride, BOSTON PUBLIC). But when he begins to look into the death of his childhood friend and lost love Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Anna Friel), Ned can't allow her to remain among the dearly departed. Since Ned and Chuck can never touch, PUSHING DAISIES presents a fascinating, romantic courtship, but it's perfectly countered by the sour humor of Emerson and the jealousy of witty waitress Olive Snook (Kristin Chenowith). Like Tim Burton meets AMELIE, this series arrives from Bryan Fuller, the creator of cult favorite series DEAD LIKE ME and WONDERFALLS. This release includes all nine episodes of the fantasy show's first season.
