1 month, 28 days, 49 minutes and 12 seconds..

... was how long since I first started watching it, and got hooked ever since. It's what I look forward to lately, it's how I remember the days of the week.

For those of you who don't know, I'm talking about a TV show created by Bryan Fuller, called Pushing Daisies. This genius (and his team, of course) really knows how to sweep those of you who's looking for something different away from the daily mundane life into this cute little fantasy that makes your heart smile (in my case, melt). Now if you want to look at it from a logical point of view, most of the things wouldn't make any sense. You'd be frustrated with the show, to say the least, scrutinizing at every tiny absurdity that was intended to sprinkle some magical colors (and colorful magic) in some people's lives. But if you ask me, life is too short to take it too seriously. So just sit back and relax, let the show entertain you and make you smile. I guarantee you, by the end of the show, you'd feel giddy with love, warm and fuzzy, and leave you wanting more. (But if you don't feel all or some of that, I have only one diagnosis for you: a hopeless realist).

A brief summary of this ABC series:
It's a cute "forensic fairytale" that revolves around a piemaker called Ned, his childhood sweetheart Chuck, the principal investigator Emerson Cod, and the waitress at The Pie Hole (Ned's pieshop) named Olive Snook. Ned has a special gift, he can bring back the dead to life with just a touch, but the tricky part is that if he touches them the 2nd time, they'll be back to being dead, this time forever. Another crucial rule to this gift: keep them alive for more than 1 minute and someone else will have to die in its place. So the short version of the story is that Ned is helping Emerson the PI to solve crimes by using his "gift" to wake the dead up for clues. Chuck was the 1st dead he woke up, but he didn't want her to leave him, so he kept her alive. So now they have a relationship that doesn't allow touching. Olive loves Ned but he has eyes for Chuck only. So yeah that's the gist of it. There's a lot more of the cutesy little details that you will have to watch to find out. :)

Anyway, the reason why I'm writing this is that Pushing Daisies might be terminated for good because of poor ratings. Right now they're saying that Season 2 is gonna end with 13 episodes (tonight it's showing the 7th episode i think), and that Season 3 will start in the beginning of next year. It's still tentative though, so I'm hoping people out there who happens to read this--give it a try and watch it, maybe you'd like it as much as i do! Who knows, life is full of mysteries! ;)
