Pushing Daisies - Episode Summaries

Detailed episode summaries of the wonderfully crafted, but sadly canceled quirky television show Pushing Daisies. The show ran on ABC for two seasons before it was unceremoniously axed before all of the second season was aired. Fortunately, ABC had a change of heart, and decided to air the remaining three episodes. Pushing Daisies garnered numerous awards including an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress. Unfortunately, all these helped little in boosting its ratings.
