WHAT! That's quite disgraceful, I think they could just put it on at a later slot or show the episode a week later, no need to cut an entire episode out.

Well won't that mean it might miss some stuff out? We won't understand episode 3 without episode 2 will we? I'm guessing its a continuous thing here. If they don't show it on ITV I'll watch it on the net but some people won't know how to do that.

They have advertised this show so much to miss an episode out. They could of shown episodes 1 and 2 last night to get around the problem. They just want it to finish before Euro 2008 which none of the home nations are playing in.

I suggest we all do the same. The more people that write the more chance we have of doing something about it.

Not something I would normally say but this stupid, so tell your friends too and get them to send an e-mail too and tell them to tell there friends. Before you know it they will have 1000's of complaints.

Don't bother contacting ITV, they will just send you this standard reply


Thank you for your recent email regarding PUSHING DAISIES.

ITV only had an 8 week slot available and it was decided that this was the best episode to drop as there are no serial elements within it. It may be shown at a later date.

I checked the episode guide and Callum is spot on, ITV are missing out the second one.

I have checked ITV tv guide and Red's checked the radio times too.

This is what I have sent to ITV:

Dear Sir/Madam
After avoiding ITV for many many years I finally succumbed and watched Pushing Daisies last night. It was just as expected, fun, witty and a riveting watch.

I looked into next weeks episode and I find that you are not showing episode 2 Dummy and skipping to episode 3 instead.

Why?

I find this a joke. You bombard us with the trailers and then you miss out an episode. I demand an explanation as to why you would do such a thing which is an insult to people who have watched your channel.

I would rather wait till it comes out on dvd than to watch your farce of a channel any more.

I still think you have to do and if you get a standard reply post back saying that a nameless reply is not acceptable and nor is the missing of one episode of a series. They have 4 TV channels and ITV4 is always full of rubbish, they could have at least put it on there.

And they could have replaced the film last night!

I got the same but then replied with this:


This is not good enough response.

You have 4 channels. ITV1,2,3 and 4 and missing out an
espide from a series is not expectable.

I want to be contacted by someone in programming.

Your even showing a repeat of the first episode today
at 4.30!

If I do not get a good enough response then I will be
taking this further. I will write to the board of
Directors

There is more than one of them in the Duty office. My reply had different letters after the words DUTY OFFICER.

Interestingly when you ask them a why they didn't show the second episode after the first they slow down. I guess they must run out of standard replies.

I haven't gone as far saying that I will go to the Board of Directors. I have another idea *evil laugh*

ITV might have a case to answer with the Advertising Standards Authority. After all if you advertise anything you have to do it correctly. If they used the word "series" they would misleading the public since it not a series since one show is missing.

Anyway here is the tailer of what we are missing:

ITV cuts episode from Pushing Daisies runLONDON - UK viewers will not see the second episode of US drama import 'Pushing Daisies', which debuted on ITV1 on Saturday with 5.7m viewers, until later this year.

The mix-up is due to the channel only having an eight-week window in which to show the nine-part series, which, like many US shows, was itself truncated by the writers' strike.

The series will continue this coming Saturday with the third episode rather than the second, which will be shown "at a later date" according to an ITV spokesman.

He said the situation had developed as a result of the US writers' strike, which left the series and others such as 'Bionic Woman' and ' Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' with shorter runs than normal. Those two shows aired only eight and nine episodes respectively.

Schedulers decided to cut the series run down to eight episodes and selected the second episode as the one that could be removed with the smallest disruption to the narrative flow.

Asked whether ITV would change its mind if viewers complained, the spokesman said it would not be possible to screen episode two before episode three this Saturday.

'Pushing Daisies' features British actress Anna Friel as the childhood sweetheart of pie-maker Ned, played by Lee Pace, who can bring people back to life by touching them, but he if touches them again, they die.

Although the first episode lost out to 'Casualty' on BBC One, it did well with the highly sought after younger audience, with 31% of 16- to 34-year-olds, compared with 18% watching 'Casualty'.

The second episode of Anna Friel's hit US drama Pushing Daisies will not be screened by ITV, it has emerged.

The UK broadcaster bought the rights to the entire nine-part series, but only has space in its schedule to show eight programmes before Euro 2008 begins.

Viewers will skip straight to episode three of the modern-day fairytale, about a man who brings people back from the dead - including his first love.

Episode one brought 5.7 million viewers to ITV1 on Saturday night.

"Episode two was the only show we could drop without spoiling the storyline," an ITV spokesman said.

Repeat showing

The missing instalment sees lead character Ned coming to terms with his power, interspersed with flashbacks to his childhood - including a school lesson where he was expected to dissect a frog.

As with the first episode, it was directed by Men In Black and Addams Family film-maker Barry Sonenfeld.

However, ITV said the programme would "be shown at some point because the series will be repeated".

The broadcaster blamed the mix-up on the US writers' strike, which meant only nine episodes of Pushing Daisies were made.

The series has made former Brookside star Anna Friel a household name in the US.

It won her a Golden Globe nomination for best actress, although she was beaten to the prize by Glenn Close for her role in crime thriller Damages.

A second series is due to start filming later this year.

ITV and the BBC will split coverage of the Euro 2008 football tournament, which begins on 7 June.

Seems the truth is coming out at last:
A source on the programme said: "It's very embarrassing for the channel and the schedulers have come in for a lot of stick about it.

"Essentially because it's got a prime time slot the programme couldn't be extended because there are shows planned months in advance for those times.

"Some of the team mentioned putting one of the episodes on one of the other ITV channels but they were pretty adamant about just trying to bury the fact that someone had really screwed up.

"So it's come down to having to cut one of the episodes out and hopefully no one will notice - that is until they get the DVDs."

Well Spike it doesn't look like its the sort attention they really want. Here is the latest article to come out of the Daily Mail.

Fans anger as ITV cuts second episode of hit US drama Pushing DaisiesITV has triggered an angry reaction from fans of its new US drama Pushing Daisies by cancelling the second episode.

Nearly six million viewers watched the opening episode on Saturday night about a pie maker who brings his girlfriend, played by British actress Anna Friel, back to life.

But ITV's decision to go from episode one to three because of a scheduling issue, has angered fans.

Hundreds have signed an online petition calling for ITV to reverse the decision.

On one forum, a fan writes: "What are ITV playing at? I think it's really insulting the audience's intelligence to just cut the second episode out, surely they knew how many episodes were available when they purchased this show?

"I will definitely be writing to them to voice my displeasure at this idiotic move."

Another fan writes: "ITV ... dedicate weeks to rubbish shows and when they have a good one they refuse to show it all."

On a Facebook group created for fans, there is a link where the missing episode can be downloaded from a pirate website.

The mix-up is due to ITV having an eight-week window in which to show the nine parts because of the start of the Euro 2008 football tournament.

ITV executives felt the second episode was the one that could be removed with the smallest disruption to the narrative flow.

Pushing Daisies is ITV's first acquisition of a primetime US drama for 15 years.

The missing episode sees Ned coming to terms with his power, interspersed with flashbacks to his childhood, including a school lesson where he is expected to dissect a frog.

The series won Anna Friel a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in her first major role in a US television series.

I am Loving PD and I emailed ITV about the 2nd Episode and here is when they sead



Dear Chris,



Thank you for your email.



Unfortunately due to scheduling restrictions we can only screen eight of the nine programmes in the current run. Episode two is the only one we can take out at this stage with out disrupting the flow of the series but it’s a great ‘stand alone’ episode, and one that we will broadcast later this year.



Due to the US writers strike, delivery of many acquisitions has been affected. Rather than receiving a full series of many of this year’s shows we’ve had a range of different options –such as 13 parts so far for Gossip Girl and 9 parts for Pushing Daisies. This has an impact on scheduling – particularly in the more competitive slots - as we typically receive dramas in parts of six or eight.



Unfortunately given the high profile nature of the 9pm Saturday slot, we only have eight windows at the moment and have therefore made the decision to show the second episode at a future point.



Kind Regards,

Duty Office - SG

I love the way they are trying to blame the writers strike now and they sayong it's not there fault they brought nine episodes and they only had 8 slots. Surely they must have known what they were buying before they paid out the cash.

I wrote Warner Brothers today asking them if they knew that ITV are blaming them for the mess. I hope they reply it could be rather interesting.

ITV will not screen the second episode of US drama Pushing Daisies because it doesn't have enough room on its schedule.

The show, which stars Lee Pace as a pie-maker who can bring people back to life, debuted to strong ratings on Saturday but ITV has confirmed it only has room to air eight of the nine episodes before the Euro 2008 football tournament starts.

A spokesman for ITV said: "Episode two was the only show we could drop without spoiling the storyline."

The second episode focuses on Pace's character Ned experimenting with his powers and recalling a moment from his childhood when he brought a dead frog back to life.

ITV added that the episode will "be shown at some point because the series will be repeated".

A second series of Pushing Daisies, created by former Heroes producer Bryan Fuller, will start filming later in the year.

Euro 2008 begins on June 7 with ITV and the BBC splitting coverage.

Episode Two
The Fun In Funeral
Saturday 19 April
9.05pm ITV1


With Ned’s special gift still unclear to Chuck, she seeks more answers to Ned’s ‘special touch’.

Ned avoids answering her questions like “Why it is only one minute?” and “What happens after one minute?” That’s because he fears that she will discover that he inadvertently killed his father when they were children as a result of him bringing his mother back from the dead.

Private Investigator Emerson Cod receives another strange death case at the Schatz Funeral Home where Ned brought Chuck back to life.

This time they are to investigate the death of the Funeral Director, who died as a result of Chuck staying alive for longer than one minute.

Chuck continues to question Ned about why this murder is different from the others and Ned, not wanting to keep anything from Chuck, tells her about the consequences of keeping someone alive for more than one minute.

Chuck realises she is only alive because the funeral director died.


Pushing Daisies
Episode One

Our story begins in the beautiful fairytale world inhabited by Ned and Charlotte “Chuck” Charles. They are childhood sweethearts but Ned’s idyllic life is blighted by his special gift.

His mum collapses in the kitchen and when Ned touches her she comes right back to life. It was the same with his beloved golden retriever Digby. He got hit by a truck and Ned returned him to the town of Coeur d’ Coeurs.

But for every person returned to life another must die. Chuck’s dad dies just after his mum is brought back to life. He falls stone dead on the lawn.

Fast forward to the present day and Ned opens The Pie Hole restaurant. It’s a unique place but doesn’t make much money. One day a private investigator called Emerson Cod sees Ned bring a man back to life.

He puts a proposition to him and cash-strapped Ned accepts. Then they take on the unsolved murder case that will change their lives and bring them a new partner.

ITV must of thought they were so clever trying to cover it up.

They are going to miss out episode 2!? Really!!?

That's stupid.

I don't think they would do this.

Dear Chris,



Thank you for your email.



Unfortunately due to scheduling restrictions we can only screen eight of the nine programmes in the current run. Episode two is the only one we can take out at this stage with out disrupting the flow of the series but it’s a great ‘stand alone’ episode, and one that we will broadcast later this year.



Due to the US writers strike, delivery of many acquisitions has been affected. Rather than receiving a full series of many of this year’s shows we’ve had a range of different options –such as 13 parts so far for Gossip Girl and 9 parts for Pushing Daisies. This has an impact on scheduling – particularly in the more competitive slots - as we typically receive dramas in parts of six or eight.



Unfortunately given the high profile nature of the 9pm Saturday slot, we only have eight windows at the moment and have therefore made the decision to show the second episode at a future point.



Kind Regards,

Duty Office - SG


They're cutting Gossip Girl! :shocked: :mad:

Does it add to the character development and explain why the characters are the way they are?

Yeah it does a bit, but that episode doesn't look like it will contribute to the story for the rest of the series.

So ITV are not completely wrong in that the episode can be skipped without disrupting the story development too much?

I think ITV have chose a good episode to drop which wont disrupt the story well I don't think it will. It was a brilliant episode hope the rest of the series is as good.

Kiz and I have decided to wait for the DVD to come out and watch the whole thing without the advert breaks. We don't want to watch something with one part missing on principle.

I think Olive is becoming my favourite character, she's quirky!

Tonight's episode was good, not as good as the first two episodes though i thought.

Spike

Didn't catch much of tonight's episode but from the bits I saw it didn't look as good as the first two episodes. I will watch it again tomorrow.

I was so looking forward to this show, but I must admit after watching the first 3 episodes - I don't like it. I don't know what it is but it just doesn't feel.... right some how

Last nights was the second on ITV, but the third episode. ITV cut the second episode, I watched it online.

Just watched the repeat of last nights episodes as I wasn't really paying attention to it last night and it was a brilliant episode. This show gets better and better, its amazing.

Is anyone still watching this show?

I think its good but not as good as other US imports. I am glad it isn't a full season because I couldn't watch it for like 20 episodes it would get boring.

I'm still watching, I love it I think it's one of the best imports of this year.

The season finished tonight, really good show I can't wait for season 2.

For anyone who didn't watch the second episode because ITV failed to show it then it is available on the ITV website for a week.

Tonight's episode was great, I was shocked at the twist ending. I didn't see that coming at all.

I missed a few of the last episodes. It got a bit boring, but I will catch up on them, I'm eager to know what happens in the last episode.

Spike
01-06-2008, 01:38 PM
I didn't see that twist coming at the end of the last episode.

I hope season 2 is as good and maybe one or two new permanent characters are introduced.

Good news
ITV1 have announced they will be showing season 2 of Pushing Daisies.

yay thats good news
Prob same time as they showed season 1 maybe

Spike
26-06-2008, 02:07 PM
I don't know why they are showing season 2, it didn't do that well for them.
ITV will have to show about 22 episodes this time so i expect it to be slotted anywhere they can in the schedule.
Maybe they will show it earlier next year.
