I think the last ABC primetime series that I watched had to be Love Boat. Well I've made it through two shows and I have to say I think Pushing Daisies has a chance of staying on my DVR list for the season. It is a smart comedy with witty word plays, absolutely insane love triangles, and such an absurd premise that you can just watch and enjoy.
ABC is spending what seems to be a lot of money on sets and props to make the whimsey feel like a feature film. It reminds me a bit of Robin Williams' underappreciated "Toys". I am concerned that they will continue to create more and more gimmicky ways for the leads to embrace without physical contact - but even that won't get old for atleast 10 episodes. If you are a fan of sharp witted romantic comedy and suspension of disbelief you will probably enjoy Pushing Daisies. Catch up online.
