PUSHING DAISIES also had a comic book tie-in. Barry Sonnenfeld directed the series "Pie-Lette" (for which he won an Emmy) and he's now the director on SCHMIGADOON! (which also features Kristen Chenoweth).

The "Pie-Lette" (just rewatched it) lacks a musical number. Barry Sonnenfeld also directed the second episode ("Dummy") and that episode does have a musical bit with Kristen Chenoweth singing, "Hopelessly Devoted," which has a stronger connection to SCHMIGADOON. Sonenfeld's bright, colour infused shots are in both series and his symmetrical framing makes me think of Wes Anderson, but with more hope.

This one haunted me. My family watched it when I was a kid. The Dracula serial finished, but the last episode that finished the other 2 never aired. This was the first cancellation I remember that left me hanging.
Decades later I found a bootleg copy at a convention. Turns out it was a very cheesy show. Prime 70s cheese.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" - Optimus Prime
Flying Blind ran on Fox Sunday’s for a season in the 90’s. Loved it. Starred Tea Leoni. It sounds like a typical opposites attract but I remember it as really well-written and hilarious.

Power with Girl is better.
"Masquerade" - a "Mission: Impossible" type show where they would recruit ordinary civilians on spy missions based on their particular set of skills. I definitely had a crush on Kirstie Alley back then. (Greg Evigan wasn't looking so bad either)
They use all sorts of hi-tech gear for 1983, including the first apple phone, if you ffwd to :30.
