ABC shuts its Pie Hole and cancels "Pushing Daisies"

This is incredibly sad news. Pushing Daisies was unlike anything else on tv. It was so colourful, so happy, musical and so innocent. I loved it. The 1st episode had me hooked and I swear I got a litte happy rush just watching it. How could they cancel it? I don't understand. It could only get better only thrive more.

I'm going to miss Ned, Chuck, Olive (*heart*), Emerson (*heart*) and the lovable aunts!! And DIGBY AND PIGBY!!

Awwww -no amount of tea tonight is going to cheer me up. :(

and when i said "omg yess!!!", i was answering the question at the end of the article:

"Will you miss the Piemaker and his colorful friends?"

OMG YES.

That's just not right. Pushing Daisies AND Eli Stone are getting cancelled? I realize that Pushing Daisies is no Dead Like Me and Eli Stone is no Joan of Arcadia, but nonetheless, they are what I have left and they are being taken away from me! :( God, I hope Dollhouse is good.

All the good shows are finishing grrrr

i just hope there is a good ending, wether it be another episode or movie !

Anna Friel is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This blows, ABC blows!

where the hell am i gonna get my weekly dose of Kristin Chenoweth now?]

FUCK!!

i heard about this last week, but i didnt want to believe it.

Not to defend ABC or anything, but was there anyone who watched Pushing Daisies' debut last year who didn't think "this is an incredible show, but it's going to be cancelled soon?" I know I did. Not only was PD too quirky and, perhaps, too smart for the average audience, the production costs for the show must have been ridiculous. Without considerable success in the advertising demographic, Pushing Daisies was doomed to fail. 

I hope that Fuller gets to close out the show as he wants and that there's another network that's willing to invest in his brilliance.

It's a sad day to hear we will be deprived of both Pushing Daisies AND Eli Stone.  I guess that wholesome shows about good people just cannot make it in this world.  

The color and 'narration' in Pushing Daisies was like a childhood book being read out loud.  I'm a big KC fan so to have her on TV was a blessing.  Eli Stone just was wonderful especially with Loretta Devine.

I loved Joan of Arcadia and Touched by an Angel so you can guess where my sentiments lie.  I'm a sap for those mushy shows.

CBS likely knocked me off by killing of Jim on Ghost Whisperer.  What is the world coming to?

I love this show.  It's quirky, funny, original and interesting - plus, I love the characters.  I heard rumours that the Pie Hole was facing foreclosure, so I've slowly begun to detach myself from it.

Just like Wonderfalls and dead like me, the show was too smart for its own good.  I'll just have to buy the DVD's to add to my Bryan Fuller-cancelled too soon collection.

*LETS OUT WHOLLY PRIMAL SCREAM OF TERROR AND LOSS*

I'm at a loss for words... Okay, I love TV-I'll admit that right now -I mean, I'll watch just about anything and get hooked into anything that is remotely interesting as long as it isn't trashy or on the WB (I'm trying to cut down, I really am). But Pushing Daisies, next to LOST & 30 Rock, is what really made TV worth existing, in my opinion. If I had to pick ONE show to keep and I couldn't watch anything else ever again it would be PD.

ABC can go fudge themselves as far as I'm concerned, because after the unreasonable and imbasillious firing of Brooke Smith and now this it's quite possible I may have lost all respect for the network. One stupid decision after another has caused them to lose sight of what made them a superior unit and it's more than disappointing, it's heartbreaking. 

I will go on watching ABC because I am a TV addict and let's face it, I have no will power, but I will protest outside the studios with anyone who's willing to come with me and stand up for this injustice!

ABC is dead to me. And not even Ned can't revive this one.

My favorite TV show ever.

Defeat Is Not In My Vocab

So I am so sad that this show is being cancelled. I heard rumors of it but I did not believe it. I think the show had a good run and we were just getting into the characters lives.  I'll take a comic book or movie to just get a great ending.

That sucks. Completely. I loved this show... the only good aspect of it is that Kristin can now return to NYC and Broadway. =D

BUT I'M STILL PISSED. 

NO! I LOVE THIS SHOW! I LOVE EVERY CHARACTER, NO MATTER HOW LITTLE THEY DID! EVERY PLOT TURN, EVERY "Grrr, why..." LED TO "YAY!" AH!

It was such a sweet lovably simple yet gorgeously complex show.
ugh. these tv executives really need to stay out of my tv...seriously...

I love this show. It was a wonderful world to escape to every Wednesday night. 

This is the cutest show ever! I really hope they do a movie. They have to rap some things up like will Emerson ever find his daughter? Every thing about this show is wonderful! I don't understand... Plus I love Kristin Chenoweth she is my acting/singing role model!

I loved this show. It makes me sad to think of all the other crap on tv that just keeps on going.

And what am I gonna do without Kristin Chenoweth on my tv every week? Someone give her her own show quick!

Every show I like is always cancelled which is why I don't really watch tv anymore...

I should have known that it was going to be cancelled when my dad said it was stupid. He likes everything toilet humor and very stupid. Anything intelligent he can't watch. Damn. I really hope that they do continue the story in comic book form and don't leave us hanging like they did with the Arrested Development finale. That would be cruel. 

Never met a pearl quite like you that could shimmer and rot at the same time through

I'm already on the ABC hate train after what they did to my beloved Brooke Smith, and now they rob me of Kristin Chenoweth too?

They clearly are terrible judges good TV and talent.

First the Grey's Anatomy/Brooke Smith debacle...

now they decide to cancel my beloved "Pushing Daisies" too??? Why, oh why, ABC?!?

It's such a shame because there is absolutely nothing like it on television now. "Pushing Daisies" was something I looked forward to every week - such creativity, the vibrant colors, rapid dialogue, interesting plots, and its ability to carry storylines about murder mysteries with such a light mood. I agree with everyone else: the decent shows with promise are always the first to get cancelled, unfortunate as it is. I was afraid it wouldn't make it very far past the writer's strike. Just when I thought they were safe, they get the undeserving axe. :(

What's wrong with them? First, the Grey's anatomy thing, and now Pushing Daisies ...and Dirty Sexy Money. I love this show, it was just great!  and now what's left on tv?

ABC I am ready to give up on you, but I am a big Lost fan.

Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm.

This show was so perfect for Kristin Chenoweth's comedy talents. I loved looking forward to her singing!

The characters, relationships, and dialogue were simply a treasure compared to so many other things on TV.

I feel like my 60 seconds just ran up...

ABC really knows how to kick a person when they are down... first they screw around with Grey's Anatomy and now they cancel 2 of my favorite shows:  Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. I never watched Dirty, Sexy Money, so I can't comment on that one.

I too was a huge fan of Wonderfalls which got the axe way too soon as well.  It irks me to invest time into such great shows, only to have them given the heave-ho while there are numerous other shows on the air that defy logic as to why they are even still on: Knight Rider (as an example). Or what about trash like 'A Double Shot At Love' this show that takes over from the lame ass 'Shot At Love' and has bisexual twins trying to find love? UGH! With the heads of programming at the networks making such terrible decisions is it any wonder that ratings for most shows are below what they were a year ago? 

With fewer and fewer standout shows (with a few exceptions), I have found myself turning more and more to cable (or even internet shows) to satisfy my hunger for good entertainment. It would seem that the once touted "appointment television" appears to be headed for extinction.

Goddammit!!! why would they cancel this show?!?! it's one of only 3 shows I watch nowadays!! Damn those money-minded executives with no taste! bleh!

I heart "pushing daisies"!!! Dammit!!

I'm super sad about ABC cancelling Eli Stone!

Why, oh why do the good shows get cancelled? Is it because they're sophisticated? Amazing shows like Eli & Arrested Development get cancelled whearas Gossip Girls and the "new" 90210 get picked up for like a thousand more episodes. LAME!

Damn. I loved PD, it was so amazing & genius and stuff. and cute. And i'm kinda in love with Lee pace now :D

& Olive was amazing, and ned and emerson. ugh i'm going to miss it :'(
