Thank You Alex J. Cavanaugh for bringing back Underrated Treasures!!!


TV Series from 2007-2009


I loved this series! The kid's and I 

would actually make a pie, and  

gathered round and watch the 

show eating pie!

I'm a fan of Lee Pace and felt 

Pushing Daisies was highly 

unique and was crushed when 

they cancelled the show!!!



A pie-maker, with the power to bring dead people 

back to life, solves murder mysteries with his alive-

again childhood sweetheart, a cynical private 

investigator, and a lovesick waitress.


Taken from Wiki::

Pushing Daisies is an American fantasy comedy-drama tv series. Starring Lee Pace as Ned, a pie-maker with the ability to bring dead things back to life with his touch, and ability which comes with stipulations.

The cast also included Anna Freil, Chi McBride, Kristin Chenoweth, Ellen Greene, and Swoosie Kurtz.

Touted as a "forensic fairy tale," the series is known for its unusual visual style, quirky charcters, and fast paced dialogue, often employing wordplay, metaphor, and double entendre.

Receiving critical acclaim and received numerous awards. 17 Primetime Emmy Award nominations with 7 wins.

TV Guide included the series in their 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled too Soon".

  1. Aw, I remember Pushing Daisies! (That pie-eating tradition of yours is oh-so perfect for this show!) As much as I enjoyed it, Wonderfalls continues to be my favorite Bryan Fuller show, I must admit, heh. (Lee Pace was in that, too!)

  7. I only got to see the first few episodes of the series before my kids were born and forever changed my watching habits. Now I don't get to sit down and watch anything anymore.

    It was a good show, what I got to see of it. :)

  11. This looks pretty cute! I keep checking Netflix today every time I see an underrated treasure I want to investigate ... and Netflix keeps letting me down ... but I'll give it another try.

  12. I never saw this, but I gave up TV back in '07, so that's probably why. Netflix to the rescue.

  20. I remember I thought this had one of the best pilots I've ever seen. The whole show was so creative! And Lee Pace as a total cutie. :D

  21. OMG I love this show.
    But yes, trying to watch it without having pie in the house is just... just... cruel and unusual punishment! Must have pie. :)

    Such a great show. I wish it lasted longer. Poor Ned. He needs to touch the show, just once, so it'll come back to life. ;)

    Though, for a good time... watching Twilight Breaking Dawn 2... "OMG- it's the Pie Maker!!" And having people look at your friend that just shouted this... in the theater... filled with Twihards.
    *happy sigh* Priceless.
