Pushing Daisies

This show deserves awards- many hundreds of accolades and awards.
It is fresh week after week, and keeps me completely entertained every time.

This week, they are tracking a death caused by a scratch and sniff- and it's funny.
As funny as it is, the show also manages to be quasi intelligent and has cute little inside jokes and puns all over it.

Paul Reubens (you all know him- Pee Wee Herman- http://imdb.com/name/nm0000607/) guests as a bad guy...

"Follow the yellow thick hose..."
Another play on words and funny reference (Wizard of Oz anyone?)

As Olive and Chuck get closer, they scheme to try to make Chuck's aunts feel better, and in doing so become even closer as friends- although as Olive says, not close enough to cry in front of one another yet... so when Chuck cries after Olive gives her her mom's sweater that the aunts gave Olive, its funny.

Aunt Lily won't get back in the water, but then it starts raining and the aunts end up getting back in the pool...

Anyway, they solve the murder mystery, and all seems well- but Oscar (Paul Reubens) keeps Chucks sweater because the smell of it intrigues him...
