Pushing Daisies coming to ABC
Slap another "supernatural" series on the pile. Heroes writer and executive producer Bryan Fuller is creating a drama pilot for ABC called Pushing Daisies about a man who can bring people to life just by touching them. I'm pretty sure there was a book that used this same idea. Now what was it called? Oh, right, the New Testament. Damn, if only Jesus stuck around for the TV age he could be rolling in dough right now. I mean that literally: he would have so much money he could buy lots of cookie dough and roll around in it. You may think that's sacrilegious, but my God is a party animal.
iF Magazine quotes the dailies, which are calling the new series a "romance-tinged procedural." A procedural of what, exactly? Resurrection? Is this a common practice with an actual procedure that must be followed? Are there classes one has to take to learn to raise the dead? I assume all of these questions will be answered when the show debuts this pilot season.
