Pushing Daisies is a very good show. It is so good I find myself telling people they need to watch the show. It is a very whimsical show narrated by Jim Dale. Jim Dale is the narrator for the popular Harry Potter audio books. The show is more akin to a fairy tale than a show grounded in reality.
Here is the official description:
"Pushing Daisies is a "forensic fairy tale" that focuses on Ned, a piemaker with the mysterious ability to make the dead live again. The gift is not without its complications—if he touches a revived being a second time, they die permanently; and if a person is revived for more than 60 seconds, somebody else nearby dies ("It's a random proximity thing.") Ned, along with his private investigator friend, Emerson Cod, and his childhood sweetheart, the once-dead Charlotte Charles, whom he likes to call "Chuck", capitalize on the gift by reviving the dead murder victims to ask them about their last moments so they can collect outstanding rewards, if any, and solve the mystery of how the deceased met their end."
