Dead Like Me creator Bryan Fuller will write the pilot for Pushing Daisies which sounds like the opposite of Dead Like Me:
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/heroes/former_heroes_scribe_is_pushin-2634.aspx
"Executive Producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, who produced the feature films American Beauty and Big Fish, have drafted Heroes lead writer Bryan Fuller to pen their ABC commissioned pilot "Pushing Daisies".

"Daisies" is described as a supernatural police procedural featuring a lead character who is able to resurrect the dead. Fuller is uniquely qualified for this job, having tackled the antithesis in his work on "Dead Like Me"."

Pushing Daisies began its broadcast in the US at the beginning of this month and the impression that I got is that the show has been well received and the series has just gotten a full season order:

Pushing Daisies has been acquired by Nine but unknown when they will show it.

Got the first episode from a free DVD that came with yesterday's Sydney Sun Herald ahead of its formal debut on 9.

So far seen the first five minutes and will finish it before it comes on 9 and I will give my opinion of it then.

Finished the first episode.

Pie-lette:
First of all what a wordplay with the title.
The series gets a lovely start with the performances, the music and the narration.

Look forward to see more of it.
