Pushing Daisies
The Best TV Show you aren’t watching. I’d have to say that Pushing Daisies is the best show on TV right now. Awesome, fantastical, whimsical, magical, strange, storybook murder mystery goodness. And funny and rediculously silly at times too.
Go watch it. It airs on Wednesdays at 8 ET on ABC.
