Pushing Daisies

It's rare that I find any art that really fits my sense of life; that isn't afraid to deal with important issues, but approaches it all with a total lack of suffering. Pushing Daisies is one such show. It pretends to be nothing other than a fantasy. It is timeless and placeless. It has no use for concretes. The characters are generally good-natured and decent and passionate.

Yes, there's the issue of Ned and Chuck being unable to express their love physically, but such conceit is necessary to drive home the fact that theirs is a real love and not the result of a simple need to relieve a desire.

Keep it on, ABC. PLEASE.
