ABC has given Pushing Daisies, and two of its other canceled shows, Dirty Sexy Money and Eli Stone, the pie-maker's life-giving touch, if only for a few weeks.

The network has announced that the three remaining episodes of Pushing Daisies will air from May 30 to June 13, while Eli Stone's final four episodes will run June 20 to July 11, followed by Dirty Sexy Money's last four episodes from July 18 to Aug 8.  All episodes will run on Saturday nights at 10 p.m.

With all the hype around the new movie, who's ready for more Star Trek on TV?

We think we just heard a million geeks piddle just a little bit.

After six spin off shows and ten films, it's time for more Trek.

Now that Pushing Daisies has been so unceremoniously dumped by ABC (sob), Bryan Fuller wants to team up with J.J. Abrams, who's behind this summer's highly anticipated film, to bring a fresh spin off to the small screen.

Heroes has been renewed for another season.

But Life on Mars, Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies will never to be heard from again.

There is no justice in the world!

And especially none on ABC.

Heroes has been steadily losing audience interest and support since its super wack second season yet, somehow, it’s been picked up for a fourth season according to NBC president Angela Bromstad.

Jason O’Mara fans, we have tragic news.

Life on Mars has been cancelled.

The curse of Gretchen Mol lives on.

The show, which also stars Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperioli, has only been on the air for five months, but ABC let the ax fall on Monday.

Why doesn't ABC give their shows a chance to build an audience?

Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and now Life on Mars were all killed this year.

In the meantime, 90210 gets a second season and Wife Swap will be on the air until the year 2025.

NOOOOO!

Why would they do this?!?!?!?

The CW announced yesterday that it’s renewing 90210 for a second season.

Dear God, say it isn’t so!

What the eff?

Amazing shows like Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies get the axe, and this steaming pile of crap gets another season?

We are SICK right now.

Hold our hair back.

BARF!

Thankfully, Gossip Girl and America's Next Top Model will also be back for more, as will One Tree Hill, Smallville and Supernatural.

While amazing shows like Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies are mercilessly macheted from ABC’s schedule, NBC is giving a stay of execution to Lipstick Jungle. No details have emerged yet but the show may be following in Friday Night Lights’ footsteps and returning, but on a satellite channel.

For anyone holding out hope (like we were) that the talk of Dirty Sexy Money’s cancellation was just unsubstantiated rumors, we have some awful news.

Blair Underwood, who stars on the show as Simon Elder, the arch enemy of the Darling Family, has confirmed the show is dunzo…even if the network won’t admit it.

We're still reeling from the devastating news that one of our favorite TV shows, Pushing Daisies, was canceled, but fans of one of the show's stars, Broadway-veteran Kristin Chenoweth, will be happy to hear that she's already been tapped to return to the small screen in a new show.

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.

At Sunday’s press junket for her new film Four Christmases where she co-stars as Reese Witherspoon’s sister (the resemblance is uncanny), Kristin Chenoweth said she’s uncertain of Pushing Daisies future.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
