Get Psyched for Pushing Daisies on DVD
October 11, 2008 nnyq.com editPushing Daisies centers on the life of Ned. Ned is a pie maker, but he has the strange ability to bring dead things back to life just by touching them. Just as many other talents are this one does not come without strings; there are a few conditions to this talent. The world is full of different systems of checks and balances and the talent that Ned has does not operate outside of that. He learns rather quickly that if he revives something by touching it for more than exactly one minute, then something of a similar value in life in the same vicinity dies. This provides for a form of balance in the world. Additionally, if Ned touches the thing that he brought back to life a second time, then it dies again and this is permanent. This is really bad because then it means that he has inadvertently killed two things.
