I was in love with the series Pushing Daisies since it’s first episode.  The town of Coeur d’Coeurs has a mystical yet nifty ’50s feel.  It was non-threatening, had morals and values, and no foul language.  Ned was adorable, Chuck was endearing, and I think Emmerson Cod was a hoot! My favorite quote from the show was “Maybe she has gone all Blood Simple…hiding her victims all up in snowmen.” The writing was just spectacular.  How can Ned bring dead things back to life? How can he have a relationship with Chuck, whom he could never touch? (I should talk, I mean, I’m in a relationship with TiVo!) How can you make enough money to live on with your own pie shop? None of these questions were answered in the series finale, but it doesn’t matter.  The majestic fields of daisies, rolling hills, clean streets, and delicious pies will always be a comforting memory to me. Rest in peace, Pushing Daisies.
