well, dramas are fine and dandy, but reality television is abysmal and has no business being compared to quality TV.

So while the other networks will be airing The Barack Obama Half-Hour Extravaganza tomorrow at 8, ABC will be airing Pushing Daisies. Yahoo has it listed among 4 other shows as this season's victims, and those other 4 have already been canceled. Hopefully tomorrow will provide it with a boost, because there won't be any new episodes for the next two weeks after that.
Apparently, if this show were on NBC or Fox (which have a generally awful lineup for new/sophomore shows this fall) it would have a better chance of survival due to the shitty economy and the aftereffects of the WGA strike (no midseason replacements).

God forbid you actually need to exercise thought when watching a television show.

ATM I can see the appeal of
The same as a soap opera
But having it lose to whaty is eesentially an extremely mediocre version of itself
That's harsh
Insiders at ABC tell me that the call on Daisies' fate might not come for a few weeks, as the decision-makers want to see how viewing patterns shift after the election on Tuesday.
The good news? Last night's episode was up a million viewers.

God, they better not cancel it. I haven't seen a show this charming and imaginative in quite a while.

I wonder if Ned's brothers have some sort of ability as well? It's unlikely but maybe his dad keeps running away because he keeps having kids with crazy abilities or something?
I am part to blame, in that I've only ever remembered to watch it once when it was actually on.
Almost all of the episodes I watched on their website.
Either way, if they discontinue the show, I really hope another network picks it up. It would be a complete shame it just disappeared. Even critics who don't like it are saying it needs to keep going.

Popular U.S. show Pushing Daisies has been cancelled, according to the series' executive producer Bryan Fuller.
The news comes amid reports TV executives at America's ABC network have scrapped a host of hit shows including Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money after a slump in ratings.
And although it has not been confirmed whether law comedy Eli Stone, which recently featured a cameo from Katie Holmes, and Dirty Sexy Money have been pulled, Fuller admits his show will no longer run on the small screen.
Pushing Daisies, starring British actress Anna Friel, is about a pie-maker who has the power to bring the dead back to life. It premiered on the network in October 2007.
He tells E! Online, "(ABC president) Steve McPherson called me, and said 'We gave it the best shot we could'.
"It's very likely that Pushing Daisies will end after episode 13, which as you know, is a cliffhanger."
But Fuller, who also created the show, insists he isn't too upset about the move, because he has a lot of plans for the series away from the limits of TV.
He adds, "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.
"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."
How exactly are television ratings calculated these days? Way back I heard about some weird process with volunteers and fancy remotes or something, but I assume things have changed since then.

not really no
it's still Nielsen's bullshit demo groups with set-top boxes on their tvs

But I can't believe how imaginative and creative each episode is. It always makes me wonder if they are ever going to run out of ideas
