I watched a little bit of “Pushing Daisies” (I may be wrong about the title) on ABC I think.

My very first question was: if he wakes his dead girlfriend up and then refuses to touch her again because she’ll die, why doesn’t he do the same for all the other people he awakens from the dead? It’s OK for him to re-kill strangers, but not acquaintances?

Because if he doesn’t re-kill the person he unkilled within a minute then somebody else dies. He killed his girlfriend’s father figuring that one out. And he was going to re-kill Chuck but got distracted. It’s a brilliantly quirky little show, I’m surprised it’s found an audience.

If he doesn't "re-kill" someone, some other person in his vicinity dies.
