Default \'Pushing Daisies\' faces cancellation

ABC is considering pulling the plug on its dramedy Pushing Daisies.

Bryan Fuller's whimsical show, about a pie-maker with the power to bring the dead back to life, completed filming the 13th episode of its second season this week amid rumours that ABC doesn't plan to make any additional orders.

Fuller told The Hollywood Reporter: "Our ABC exec was on the set last night saying they are still swinging in the fight to keep Daisies on the air. Spirits are high and hopeful and everyone here is very proud of our work and this show."

A former Heroes staff writer, Fuller has expressed an interest in returning to the NBC drama if Pushing Daisies is jettisoned.

It's a little weird :/ Like it's way too perfect and surreal. It isn't doing that well anymore either.

I think its too unique for its own good
but ABC are really reluctant to axe the show because they and the critics love it but its just not getting the viewers. I think it will eventually be moved to a summer slot

I thought the ratings were good over in America! I hope it doesn't get cancelled, I mean it's not the best of shows but it is good.

I love this show

Oh well as long as the second series is amazing and it goes out on a high I'll be happy. I hope Spike is right and they just put it in a different slot.

Apparently ABC are going to confirm by the end of next week that Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money have been axed

It looked okay, but I stopped watching after ITV missed an episode out. I wasn't prepared to watch just part of a series or a series where the episodes are shown out of order.

At least by canceling it ITV won't be able to mess up showing it again.

ABC has declined to pick up Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone for full-season orders.

The network has decided not to extend the trio's second season runs past 13 episodes, but is avoiding the term cancellation, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller said that he hoped to continue the show in comic book and movie form.

"I can't help but feel immense pride when it comes to Pushing Daisies," he remarked. "I'm grateful to everyone and for everyone who brought the show to life and for the very loyal audience that embraced us.

"If we are indeed dead on ABC, we now have to convince DC Comics to let us tell the rest of the season's storylines out in comic book form and convince Warner Bros features to let Pushing Daisies live again as a movie."

The three shows, all in their second season, this week saw their ratings sink to a series low.

I thought Diry Sexy Money was pretty good, it was just put in an awkward time slot over here (think it was up against Jonathan Ross), so I didn't watch many episodes.
