Check out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.

Don Williams ranked Pushing Daisies 4th. He says...

Pushing Daisies isn't a show for everyone. It's like CSI set in a fairytale land, with bright colors, quirky characters, and whip-smart dialogue distracting from the grisly murders on display. It's jam-packed with so much whimsy and style that I can easily see why some people would be turned off by it. However, those people are missing out on what is easily one of the most original, wonderful shows to hit the airwaves in years.

The thing that makes the series a can't-miss experience, aside from the visual splendor and amazing writing, is the cast. There isn't a funnier ensemble on television. Kristin Chenoweth is a comedic force as the plucky, lovelorn Olive Snook, and Chi McBride is great as Emerson Cod, the one character who seems to resent living in such a bright and sunny world. They nearly steal the show every single week. Pushing Daisies is full of heart, humor and just the right dash of delicious darkness. It's a perfect concoction.
