Pushing Daisies

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah...it's all ABC's fault with this one.

 

[Charlie No-One]

I like the story itself, but the show really went overboard with the quirkiness. If they just dialed it down a bit, I think it could have appealed to a larger audience.

I'm sad to see it go, but I am in no way surprised.

I hope that Fuller wasnt BSing about coming back to Heroes. They could really use him now.

I agree. The cutesy romance stuff was a little too heavy this time around.

Man am I pissed! Not only was Smallville cut off throughout the entire episode. Comcast sucks! But now I find out ABC is as ******ed as I feared!

They just canceled 2 great shows.

Reality TV killed television.

ABC has canceled Pushing Daisies, executive producer Bryan Fuller confirms to me exclusively.

According to our inside sources, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money have also been canceled. Reps for both shows have declined to comment.

Is the pie-maker dead? Will we ever see him again? Read on for the exclusive inside dish straight from the top...

Bryan Fuller tells me, "[ABC president] Steve McPherson called me, and said 'We gave it the best shot we could.' "

According to Fuller, the facts are these: "It's very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger. But we are talking to DC Comics about doing comic books that will wrap up our storylines, and I already have a pitch for a movie ready to go.

"To be honest, I'm really not feeling very boo hoo about it. I am so proud of the show. We put together 22 really good episodes, and there is a lot to be proud of. I'm sure I'll be working with a lot of these people again, and I would love to do so."

As reported by the Hollywood Reporter and E! News earlier today, the ratings for last night's "Oh, Oh, Oh, It's Magic" episode were the series' worst ever numbers in the key 18-49 demographic.

Ratings aside, did ABC just rip your heart out? Post in the comments...

This show was brilliant!

Goddammit merge with the PD thread please!

 

[Superman4ever]

I guess the show only appeals to the quirky few.

 

[cronosred]

This sucks, not only is Pushing Daisies canceled but so is Eli Stone, now the only show left on ABC that I watch is Lost. As for the comic and movie it's a nice idea but the same thing was said by the guy that created Veronica Mars and yet there's still nothing on that front so I won't get my hopes up for those just yet.

 

[Abaddon]

Inevitable, but I'm sad it'll end on a cliffhanger.

 

[JP]

If they made a movie it would have to be a musical.

 

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Man this sucks that Eli Stone & Pushing Daisies are cancelled. Will ABC immediately pull them from their network or let them continue with what few episodes they might have left?

We may never find out if the Dilbert guy from the movie "Office Space" who was on last nights episode who was wanting Chuck's fathers watch was the one who actually killed Chuck or not or did we already find out who killed Chuck back last season & I just blocked it from memory?

 

[Mister J]

Damn. They killed Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. I have no reason to watch ABC on Wednesdays.

Bastards.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Cancelling a show you never advertised or never tried in a different time slot then telling the show creator you tried everything makes you sound like an ass ABC, if Ugly Betty wasn't on ABC I'd totally never watch their channel again.

 

[Dr. Evil]

A movie and Comic books would be interesting.

Daisies will go on until the 13th episode, which will air in Jan or Feb, I think.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

This sucks, Pushing Daisies is a great show and should have at least been allowed to finish the season and wrap things up.

 

[Hush]

Sorry your show got canceled guys i heard it was awesome i just never knew when it was on. I Feel for you.

 

[GhostPoet]

Slowly but surely, all my shows are being canceled. Already I can see my DVR recordings shrinking.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

I think this show was just too good for a mainstream network, it joins the ranks of Wonderfalls, Firefly, Arrested Development, etc...

 

[Ghostvirus]

Sorry guys, but it has not been renewed (along with Dirty, Sexy, Money & Eli Stone)

Eli Stone too! AHHHHHH

They might as well finish the 13 episodes straight through. And so much for my Pushing Privates on Wednesday nights. Now I just have Private Practice and I guess I will go back to Americas Next Top Model at 8pm.

But thankfully I still have Ugly Greys and Desperate Brothers and Sisters....and hopefully since PD is gone, they move PP to thursdays at 10 so I can have Ugly Greys Privates all in one day.

 

[batgirl2119]

ok well i come in here to hopefully see ppl talkin about the last episode only to find its being cancled. well that just put a damper on my day. i love this show, its one of the only ones that's truly unique and original lately. now i'm sad.
i wish they would've givin an acutal shot, so many ppl just didn't know about the show.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Oh, a little Ugly Betty never hurt anyone. It's actually a really good show. Has one of the best casts on television right now. Everyone on the show gels really well in their roles.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think this show was just too good for a mainstream network, it joins the ranks of Wonderfalls, Firefly, Arrested Development, etc...

Yeah, in retrospect, it's so quirky and unorthodox for a weekly network drama that I'm surprised it survived this long. Should've gone to a premium channel.

 

[DBella]

Damn. They killed Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. I have no reason to watch ABC on Wednesdays.

Bastards.

As much as I'd like to direct all my loathing and hatred towards ABC, can't say all the blame are on them. If people don't watch and rating is bad, how can we expect them to continue. It's the audience's fault. How can they accept so many spin-off shows (how many CSI do we need, people?) and not something that's original like PD?

How many episodes will there be for Season 2 and what episode is the show at now? Jerks (referring to all who are responsible for the cancellation)! Just release the DVD and let me watch it already!

Olive... Ned... Emerson... Chuck... I'll miss you.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah. If the comic book does happen it'll like be just like I am with the Buffy and Angel comics.

''These are great and all but I want the actors." Chenowith, McBride, Pace, Friel, Green, and Kurtz make their roles. It just won't be the same without them.
