ABC Delays Final Episodes of ‘Pushing Daisies,’ ‘Dirty, Sexy Money,’ and ‘Eli Stone’

Friday, January 16th, 2009

pushingdaisies Fans who are waiting for closure from these low-rated but much loved shows will have to wait until the summer. According to E! Online’s Kristin dos Santos, ABC may not air the remaining episodes of the shows until June – at the earliest.

Apparently the network is getting more viewership out of reruns and specials that they did out of first run episodes of these shows, and we all know that ratings make the TV world go ‘round.

We’ll keep you posted as scheduling for the final episodes of Pushing Daisies, Dirty, Sexy Money and Eli Stone are announced.

Pushing Daisies Reunion at Heroes

Friday, January 9th, 2009

swoosiekurtz A Pushing Daisies reunion (of sorts) is in the making at Heroes as Swoosie Kurtz has signed a deal to guest star in an April episode which was written by Daisies creator Bryan Fuller.

Kurtz will play an old society friend of Angela Petrelli’s.  A source tells EW’s Michael Ausiello that Fuller wrote the part specifically for Kurtz.  At this time the role is only slated for one episode but it would have recurring potential, particularly if the show is picked up for a fourth season.  (Don’t worry!  Given that it is NBC’s highest rated scripted program, a renewal is expected).

Fuller, who worked on Season 1 of Heroes, returned to the show late last year after ABC canceled Pushing Daisies and Heroes executive producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander were given the heave-ho.

It’s Back to Wednesdays for the LOSTIES

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Lost ABC has finally announced a premiere date for the long-awaited premiere of LOST.  The show will return to Wednesdays on January 21.  The premiere will be a three-hour event with two episodes, . "Because You Left" and "The Lie," airing back-to-back, preceded by a recap show. 

LOST will move into its regular timeslot, Wednesdays at 9pm ET, on January 28.  No word yet on what will follow, but according to E! Online’s Kristin, ABC has said that a decision will be made about new time slots for Private Practice and possibly Pushing Daisies next week.

Titles of episodes three through six will be: "Jughead," "The Little Prince," "The Place Is Death" and "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham."

Also announced this week, Reiko Aylesworth, formerly of 24 and ER, will reportedly be joining the cast for a four episode arc as Amy, a possible love interest of one of the LOST boys.

Do You Love Pushing Daisies? Do Your Part to Help Save the Show

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

pushingdaisies E! Online’s Kristin Dos Santos is calling on fans to help save the critically acclaimed, but low rated drama.  If you are a fan of the show, you should do what you can to help keep the show, which is at work on their 13th (and possibly final) episode as we speak, from being canceled.

Here’s what you can do to help:

  • Sign the Save Daises online petition.
  • Watch the show live when it airs.
  • Tell your friends to watch!
  • Go to ABC.com and play old episodes. Download it from iTunes. 
  • Contact ABC online or send them a letter via snail mail. The address for ABC is 500 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA 91521-4551.
  • Start sending the Daisies to the network!  Or, as Kristin suggests, send flower seeds. They’re light and cheap to ship. Seeds last for years and won’t go bad or go to waste, and they could be planted to grow into something beautiful in the spring. Don’t forget to include a note explaining that this is for the love of Pushing Daisies!
