Love that is not meant to be

I know I shouldn't indulge more TV shows, but I came across this show titled "Pushing Daisies." A short summary of what this is about.

Main character: A dude that can resurrect the dead with a single touch. Yeah something like Midas, but doesn't turn things into gold though. But there's a catch: If the dead is remained alive for a minute, another living being dies in its place (to balance things out). Also, if he touch the revived being twice, it will be dead forever.
Setting: A quirky looking town where he works as a pie maker, serving pies in a 50s diner.
Story: Solving crimes with his partner who is a private investigator and his intelligent girlfriend, filled with weird victims, suspects and situations. Romances: He saved his girlfriend from the dead, and according to the rules of his power, he can't touch her, or she'll be dead forever. That means no hugging, kissing and not even holding her hand!

Sad huh? Loving someone that you can even touch, fearing that you will lose her forever.


Funny this great show wasn't very popular with the audience in the US. Might be too quirky for their taste.
