Digby (Ned's dog) dies in the opening scene, but he is indeed brought back to life and featured throughout the show. There are birds and squirrels that die throughout the series, but I'd absolutely recommend watching it (even as an avid DoesTheDogDie user).

A major character loses their eye in the story, however, it is a non-graphic scene. However, this show is full of graphic corpses which become reanimated. The act itself is often not seen, but the after-effects are frequently.

Squirrels, birds, and frogs are to name a few that I've seen so far. They often merely drop dead, or are already dead before reanimation.

In season 2 episode 6, a magician "swallows" a mouse and then pulls it out of his mouth, unharmed, but I would still consider it [fictional] animal abuse.

Bees are a prominent aspect of this show, and are heavily romanticized and discussed. Dead bees are also seen before reanimation.

Many bodies are shown with graphic injuries. For example, in episode 1 we see a body that is missing a chunk of its face.

The deaths are shown, with the characters falling over stiffly in a generally cartoonish manner. There is a lot of talk about the deceased parents.

While they are not technically ghosts, a major theme of the show is reviving the dead.

One episode takes place primarily at a circus, and a clown car is driven off the road killing all of the clowns, so a parade of clown bodies is pulled out of the car.

Emerson Cod gets stuck in a window and Chuck says that he looks like Winnie-the-Pooh. There are mild fat jokes about the Schatz Brothers in the early episodes.
