Pushing Daisies in trouble

Found this article this morning on Yahoo TV about shows that are in trouble

Quote:
The quirky, critically-acclaimed drama "Pushing Daisies," about a pie maker who can revive the dead just can’t seem to catch a break. Its first season was interrupted by the writers’ strike and now its second season’s ratings have been falling weekly (with viewership well below that of last year’s). Sure fans love it and want desperately to save it, but unless all the brouhaha turns into viewers, Ned the pie maker will find himself trying to bring the show back to life.
It would break my heart of this wonderful, quirky, well written, stunningly filmed show was canceled and the junk that's out there keeps getting ratings. I guess people don't know quality when they see it.

Re: Pushing Daisies in trouble

I saw this and it made me sad. It's one of our favorite shows.

I feel that DVR's/TIVO is the problem since those don't count in the ratings. Were certainly guilty of it.

I think we'll start watching it live from now on.

Re: Pushing Daisies in trouble

That's quite unfortunate. My family watches this show every week for all the reasons already listed.

Same thing happened to another wonderfully written show Dead Like Me, because it was too "outside the box" for people.

Sad.

Re: Pushing Daisies in trouble

I'm hoping if it does indeed get cancelled by ABC it will get picked up by another network.

I should have known, any weird quirky show we get into this happens. It is the Pratt curse.

Just blame Knight Rider and Bones for Pushing Daisies troubles.
