MrWookie,
The premise for Pushing Daisies seems gimmicky and more suited to be a 12-issue comic book miniseries, but I'll give the first few episodes a chance on the DVR. If it sucks, I'll let Aloysius fall on the sword for that. In general though, his level of taste is high.

I've actually only seen the pilot for Pushing Daisies, have not gotten a chance to view other episodes. But in the many years I've been a part of pilot seasons, this screening received one of the best responses I've seen, almost uniformly praised as "amazing".
The premise is very high concept and seems gimmicky, but it's executed brilliantly... the acting is very good and the writing is very above average for a network one-hour.
Also Barry Sonnenfeld directed the pilot. The look of the world he creates is really captivating (think Edward Scissorhands-esque) and a unique template going-forward for the series.
So I would definitely recommend watching the premiere, and seeing if it's something you'd enjoy and want to stick with.
