was a "forensic fairytale". The storyline followed Ned, a young man with a very special gift. As a boy, Ned discovered that he could return the dead briefly back to life with just one touch. Now a pie maker, Ned puts his ability to good use, not only touching dead fruit and making it ripe with everlasting flavor, but working with a private investigator to crack murder cases by raising the dead and getting them to name their killers.

But the tale gets complicated when Ned brings his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, back from the dead -- and keeps her alive. Chuck becomes the third partner in Ned and Emerson's private-investigation enterprise, encouraging them to use Ned's skills for good, not just for profit. Life would be perfect for Ned and Chuck, except for one cruel twist: If he ever touches her again, she'll go back to being dead, this time for good.

The Pushing Daisies: Season Two DVD set of 4 discs contain the 13 episodes of the final season of the series. ABC cancelled Pushing Daisies in December 2008 before airing the entire season.

  1. Great week for Mystery DVD's, I'm a huge fan of 3 shows there.

    Monk/Psych first, am definitely picking those DVD's up to add to my collection. Monk is one of my favorite TV shows of all-time, and Psych is just hilarious.

    And Pushing Daisies, have Season 1, and got to get Season 2, such a unique show, cancelled too soon.
