Pushing Daisies Cancelled

TV just got a hell of a lot crappier!

Pushing Daisies has been cancelled, according to the series’ executive producer Bryan Fuller.

He says “(ABC president) Steve McPherson called me, and said, ‘We gave it the best shot we could.’”

While Fuller isn’t too upset (but we are), he says the series may have a second life in a new form.

“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.”

The tragic news is all part of ABC slashing shows struggling to find an audience (thanks, in large part we believe, to last year’s sucky writer’s strike which threw everything into upheaval).

Reportedly Eli Stone has all been axed and…someone hand us a Kleenex…Dirty Sexy Money, one of our other favorite shows, has been pulled as well.

We can almost hear the faint strains of Taps as we tip a slice of pie to our fallen brethren and wonder what we will possibly do with The Darlings and Nick George.

Sob!
