Pushing up the daisies

There's a new series coming this fall; Pushing Daisies. Now here's one to look out for - produced by the same team as "Big Fish", this series has it all; a very nice plot, snappy dialogues and a general Timburtonesque mystical style.

Plot, taken from Wikipedia:

Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a pie maker with a mysterious ability to make the dead briefly live again. The gift is not without its complications, as if he touches this being once again, they'll be dead permanently. If he doesn't touch them at all within sixty seconds, they continue, but someone other than the deceased will die. It's a gift that he puts in good use to help a private investigator friend, Emerson Cod and his childhood spirit, the once dead Charlotte "Chuck" Charles.

First episode on TV: October 3rd, 2007. Leaked pilot now available from the interweb.
