Pushing Daisies - Season 1 -

Debuting in the fall of 2007 on ABC, the show arrived like a burst of marzipan and neon paint in a world dominated by gritty crime procedurals and reality TV. Created by Bryan Fuller (the visionary behind Wonderfalls and Hannibal ), Season 1 of Pushing Daisies is not merely a television season; it is a 9-episode fable, a romantic poem, and a visual feast that has yet to be replicated. More than a decade later, its first season remains the gold standard for stylistic whimsy, proving that a show about death can be the most lively thing on air.

Despite its short life, left a scar on the medium. Its influence can be seen in later shows that dare to be tonally weird, from The Good Place (philosophy wrapped in comedy) to Only Murders in the Building (cozy murder mystery with style). It proved that network television could be as art-directed and idiosyncratic as an indie film. It won seven Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Directing, and multiple nominations for its production design and Lee Pace’s performance. Pushing Daisies - Season 1
