Pushing Daisies is my new guilty pleasure. Lee Pace ("Ned" from ABC's short lived quirky comedy) is a life resuscitating, crime solving, vest wearing, pie baking, sweetheart. Think cross between Jake Gyllenhaal and John Cusack circa Say Anything. (Who doesn't love Lloyd Dobbler). Anna Friel's bee tending, honey making, 50's dress and suspender-ed pant wearing female lead "Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles", is too adorable for words. I want her gorgeous hair. (Reminds me of Molly's). And her wardrobe. Kristin Chenoweth rounds out the trifecta as "Olive", bursting into Broadway worthy song at whim. This show was practically custom made, just for me. Too bad I didn't know about it until two years after its cancellation. But you can enjoy it's twenty-two episode romantic romp on Netflix. And as a bonus, "Shane Botwin" shows up at the end of the second season with a jar of coins to hire the gumshoes to solve his mother's murder.
