The facts are these: Everyone loves "Pushing Daisies." And rightfully so. The Slug hearts the ABC show about a pie maker who brings people back from the dead so much that we've watched the pilot episode three times! It's is the most perfect television experience ever. The direction is magical and innovative. The cast is impeccable and endearing. The plot is involving and fast-paced. The dialogue is snappy and funny.

Unfortch, you can't watch the first episode of "Pushing Daisies" online before the Oct. 3 premiere. Boo. Despite that, we implore you to please, please, please pay more attention to this comedic gem when it finally airs — ahem, Oct. 3, if you're not paying attention — than you did "Wonderfalls," "Arrested Development" and "Knights of Prosperity," especially if you're a Nielsen home.
